Specifications
In the 10th century at the court of Constantine Porphyrogenitus, son of Leo VI the Wise and grandson of Basil I the Macedonian, the Life of Basil is written, the biography of the founder of the Macedonian dynasty.
Did it come from the pen of Constantine himself? Perhaps, but we are not sure. The only certainty we have is that it was composed at the command of his royal grandson.
The narrative is of exceptional interest not only for its content but also for its literary substance. Myth and truth are sometimes intertwined in an engaging narrative. Historical reality is occasionally reflected with relative accuracy and reliability, while at other times it is distorted or omitted in favor of political propaganda.
