People/Characters Comito

Comito (Greek: Κομιτὼ died after 528 AD) was a Byzantine stage performer, the daughter of Acacius "the bear-keeper", and an elder sister to Theodora and Anastasia. Once she was determined to be old enough, Comito became a hetaera. According to Procopius, when Theodora was a child, she acted as an assistant to Comito, carrying the bench on which Comito sat during public gatherings. Through Theodora, Comito was a sister-in-law of Justinian I.

John Malalas records that Comito married the general Sittas in 528. The marriage is also recorded by Theophanes and Cedrenus.[1] Sittas and Comito may be the parents of Sophia, who would marry Justin II and succeed Theodora as empress of Eastern Rome. Sophia is recorded as a niece to Theodora, and it is unclear whether she was the daughter of Comito or Anastasia. Whether Anastasia ever married is unknown.
