Paul Stephenson. The Serpent Column
The Serpent Column is the victory monument set up at Delphi after the defeat of the Persian army at the Battle of Plataia in 479 b.c.e. that marked the end of the Persian invasion of Greece. It originally consisted of a tall, hollow bronze pillar in the form of three entwined serpents terminating in three projecting necks and heads that formed the tripod for a gold cauldron. The cauldron was removed quite early in the monument’s history, but the …

Forty years on
Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies was launched in the middle of a decade that saw many landmark events in Byzantine scholarship. I remember them well, because this was the decade when I became a Byzantinist, and attended my first two international congresses of Byzantine Studies, the 14 th in Ceauşescu's Bucharest (1971), and the 15 th , in post-Junta Athens (1976). Apart from the acts of these congresses, the 1970s produced many memorable publi…

Encyclopaedism from Antiquity to the Renaissance
There is a rich body of encyclopaedic writing which survives from the two millennia before the Enlightenment. This book sheds new light on that material. It traces the development of traditions of knowledge ordering which stretched back to Pliny and Varro and others in the classical world. It works with a broad concept of encyclopaedism, resisting the idea that there was any clear pre-modern genre of the 'encyclopaedia', and showing instead how t…

The Empire of Manuel I Komnenos, 1143–1180
The reign of Manuel I (1143–1180) marked the high point of the revival of the Byzantine empire under the Comnenian dynasty. It was, however, followed by a rapid decline, leading to the sack of Constantinople by the Fourth Crusade in 1204. This book, the first devoted to Manuel's reign for over eighty years, re-evaluates the emperor and his milieu in the light of recent scholarship. It shows that his foreign policy was a natural response to the we…

"Eros the King and the King of "Amours
Between romaniae
Honour among Romaioi
Medieval Greek writers of biography and encomium, like their ancient models, conventionally began by extolling their subject’s (birth, kin, ancestry) and (native land or city) as the two basic co-ordinates of a social existence, which both conferred an honourable start in life, and gained glory from a life honourably lived. This was not just a rhetorical convention
The architecture of ekphrasis
The written or spoken word can contribute to the appreciation of a work of art in three distinct, though by no means mutually exclusive, ways. First, it can comment directly on the artefact. Second, it can fulfil a parallel function, by conveying a similar message or using broadly comparable techniques. Third, words can physically accompany the artist’s work, either in the form of an inscription, or in the form of a recitation. We are so used to …
Isaac sebastokrator (III), John Axouch, and a case of mistaken identity
In his history of the reigns of John II and Manuel I Komnenos (1118–1180), John Kinnamos recounts an episode which gives a vivid sense of the heavy atmosphere of family intimacy and family tension which surrounded the Comnenian emperors and conditioned their internal and, ultimately, their external policies. Describing the first treacherous intrigues of Andronikos Komnenos, the emperor Manuel's notorious and colourful cousin and eventual successo…

Manuel Komnenos and the Great Palace
That the emperor Manuel I Komnenos (1143–80) was responsible for some building activity in the Great Palace of Constantinople is a fact well attested by published sources and not entirely unknown to modern scholarship. However, the armchair archaeology of this work remains confused and obscure, and can benefit from a fresh review of the evidence
