- Byzantium, in the narrowest sense of the word, is no more than the ancient name of the Greek city-state which was founded at the junction of the Golden Horn and the Sea of Marmara in the seventh century B.C.
- Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)A knowledge of Byzantine art and civilization is thus not only an important study, a delight and an entertainment in itself; it is not only something which is essential towards the full understanding of European culture and history in the past; but it can also help us to sympathize with the aims of artists of our own day and enable us, perhaps, to comprehend more easily the demands and ideas of this troubled age through which we are passing.
