Beauty and the male body in Byzantiumperceptions and representations in art and text /[electronic resource] :Myrto Hatzaki. - Basingstoke :Palgrave Macmillan,2009. - p. cm.

The Byzantine Ideal of Beauty: Definitions and Perceptions -- Only Skin Deep: Beauty and Ugliness between Good and Evil -- Beauty and Powerand Beauty as Power -- The Beauty of Broken Bodies: Pain, Eloquence and Emotion -- Angels and Eunuchs; the Beauty of Liminal Masculinity -- The Fragile Beauty of Soldiers.

Beauty and the Male Body in Byzantium looks into a subject previously ignored in discussions of the Byzantine world: it explores physical beauty as an attribute of the human and, in particular,of the male bodythrough the evidence of imagery and writing from the eleventh to the fourteenth centuries. A close look into the workings of beauty in Byzantium reveals it to be attributed equally tothe bodies of heroes and villains, saints and sinners, emperors and executioners, angels and eunuchs, manly soldiers and effeminate youths. Praised, admired, but also feared and envied, beauty's power appears to be matched only by the reverence bestowed upon it by Byzantine authors and artists alike. This studyof Byzantine perceptions and representations of beauty tilts the balance in our understanding of Byzantium between spirituality and physicality, soul and body. It not only restores beautyto its proper place, butalso refines our perception of the Byzantine world.
