Original Title:
Ο Ηράκλειος στην Ηρακλειάδα του Γεωργίου Πισίδου
Translated title:
Heracleius in George Piside's Heracleias
Summary:
The emperor Heracleius is presented as a powerful ruler but also as a father of an overexausted people because of the internal conflicts that had expanded in the byzantine state on the years of the reign of Focas. We examine which the virtues of a ruler should be according to the Political Theory of the Early Byzantine Period. Was Heracleius worthy for the byzantine throne or not? Was he a model for kings?
