O sages standing in God's holy fire
As in the gold mosaic of a wall,
Come from the holy fire, perne in a gyre,
And be the singing-masters of my soul.
Consume my heart away; sick with desire
And fastened to a dying animal
It knows not what it is; and gather me
Into the artifice of eternity.

~ From “Sailing to Byzantium” by W. B. Yeats

Also, it seems Justinian loved to play some Zelda games, as there’s some triforce triangles on the ground. And it’s not the only one pattern that can be found !

Phenomenal Ravenna ! 😃

This is the place of the first pixel war, since the mosaics have been created to celebrate the win of Justinian’s armies over Goths

Today on the blog. In 1478, a monk called Gregory wrote an account of his life. "Gregory" was actually George Sphranztes, close advisor to the last three Byzantine emperors, who witnessed the final Ottoman siege of the city in 1453. His book is available for free on @internetarchive. An amazing chronicle. This article is for subscribers but not paywalled. Worth signing up for!

Here's The Morning History Show for May 29, 2023. Today is the 570th anniversary of the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks in 1453, so there's some material on that. Also: Egyptian mummy workshop discovered; a blogger searches for connections between medieval Ireland and the Byzantine Empire.
