Angeliki Panagopoulou,Theophano. The Byzantine empress of Germany. Ambassadress of Byzantine culture to the West. Thessaloniki 2008 (in greek)

A. Stamoulis, 2008

The political correlations that led to the marriage are also examined, along with the political reality in which Theophano acted both at the side of her husband and later as his successor to the imperial throne. As we follow her life year after year, the image of medieval 10th century Germany is projected.

Its object was the dynastic connections between Byzantine emperors, their children or other relatives of the imperial family with members of the families of other imperial, royal, county, duke houses, who, during the period of either negotiating for a dynastic connection, or the engagement or marriage, were in power.

Papers by ANGELIKI PANAGOPOULOU

Angeliki Panagopoulou, Nomos and canon in Byzantium: the case of the confiscation of the holy vessels during the reign of Alexios I Komnenos, Byzantina Symmeikta 31 (2021), 401-430 (in english)

Byzantina Symmeikta, vol. 31 , 2021

The limits of the legislative power of the emperor are highlighted on the occasion of the dispute that occupied Byzantium for about fifteen years (1081-1095) as a result of the confiscation of the holy vessels by Alexios I Komnenos, in order to finance mercenary troops after the occupation of Durres by the Normans in Oktober of 1081. The equation of nomoi and canons by the Novel 131 of Justinian in 545, as well as the ambiguous attitude of 12th century jurists about the relation of nomoi and canons, as a result of the close relation of Church and State in Byzantium, are reflected in the use of the terms “nomos” and “canon” as equivalent in the Alexias by Anna Komnene, who records the dispute. On the other hand, a fiction of law is constructed by Anna Komnene, in order to cover up the violation by Alexios I Komnenos even of the strict conditions set by the Novel 120 of Justinian for the confiscation of holy vessels. Rhetoric is highlighted as the powerful tool of imperial power in its struggle to consolidate itself.

ANGELIKI PANAGOPOULOU The role of the divine in the Chronographia of Michael Psellos, ΠΑΡΕΛΘΟΝΤΟΣ ΚΑΤΟΠΤΡΙΣΜΟΙ. Κείμενα προς τιμήν του Καθηγητή Γεώργιου Παπαγεωργίου, εκδ. Ηρόδοτος, Αθήνα, 2020, σσ. 123-160 (in english)

Both in the Chronographia, and especially in the "De omnifaria doctriina", dedicated to Michael ... more Both in the Chronographia, and especially in the "De omnifaria doctriina", dedicated to Michael VII Doukas, Psellos sets out his views on the relationship between the Divine and the human will, the nature of the latter, but also the role of Divine Providence in human life. As he mentions, nothing in human life is predetermined, nor imposed by necessity, with the results always depending on the actions that preceded them. The aim of the article is to highlight this position as a structural element of the depiction of the action of Basil II and his descendants by Psellos in the Chronographia.

He also states the human choices that led eventually to the loss of the Roman power in the second half of the 11th century in an attempt to draw moral conclusions. The personalities of the emperors, their strengths and weaknesses, their initiatives or omissions, were the factors that, according to Psellos, wound the thread of the history-an ever-evolving situation.
