047: Byzantine Golden Age: Bookworm Emperor
Manage episode 328229086 series 3001779
After securing the throne, writing a law code, taking back old land, and building many churches… Basil is forced to leave the empire to the son who preferred to stay inside and read books, instead of his warrior son. Basil… in many ways, is similar to Justinian the Great, only on a smaller scale. But his story is far more impressive, and his Bookworm son turned out to be another great emperor.
The History of Modern Greece Podcast covers the events of the Greek People from the fall of Constantinople in 1453 to the Greek War of Independence in 1821-1832, through to the Greco-Turkish War from 1919 to 1922 to the present day.
