What are the representative works of Byzantine novels?

Novels in Byzantine literature rose late, with only one or two achievements. According to the research of modern scholars, the only two works are not the original works of Byzantine writers, but Indian stories translated from Syrian into Greek. Satire prose and miscellaneous notes are Byzantine literary forms that can't be ignored, and their serious and humorous narrative style comes from ancient Greek literature. There are three representative works of Byzantine satirical prose, namely/kloc-a friend of the motherland in the 0/0 century,/kloc-a Mazaris in the 0/2 ~/kloc-a master of the Zhuang Autonomous Region. Their main purpose is to express their dissatisfaction with the current political and social corruption. However, when discussing major social issues, they always adopt a relaxed style. The representative work of miscellaneous notes is The Customs of Christian Countries written by Byzantine businessman Ge Smas in the 6th century, which records the customs and geographical products of various ethnic groups in the East, so it has high data value.

Gregory of Nisa, one of the "Three Masters of Capadocia" at that time, made the most outstanding achievements among many poets. His works are full of philosophy and strong thoughts, and are highly praised by people. The representative poet in the 5th century was Queen Docia.

He combined the stress system with the cadence of sentences and wrote thousands of conversational poems, which were catchy to read and very popular with people. Romanu's poems are very practical, because they can respond to duets and are accompanied by chorus, so they are often used in church ceremonies. Andrew (660 ~ 740), Bishop of Crete, also created a genre of lyric poetry that linked all kinds of rhythmic poems and opened up a new creative field for poets at all levels. Cassia (800 ~ 867), a nun who was only tall and beautiful in the 9th century, was a legend. She was famous for refusing the proposal of Emperor theophilus, and then devoted herself to the isolated monastic life, devoted herself to poetry creation, and created a poetic form full of pious feelings, occupying a place in the development of Byzantine poetry. Among the outstanding poets in the late Byzantine Empire, John Mao Soth (1000 ~ 108 1) and Theodore Medes (1270 ~ 1332) should be mentioned. Their poems show strong academic charm, which is very in line with the situation of reviving ancient cultural movement at that time.
