The Two-Blood Border Lord—The Grottaferrata Version
By Denison B. Hull

Translation by Denison B. Hull

Introduction by Denison B. Hull
Among the epic romances of post-Barbarian Europe, such as Roland and El Cid, Digenis Akritas has been the least known in the West. It is the story of a half-breed prince who guarded the Roman Empire of Byzantium on the Euphrates in the tenth century. This new translation recaptures an urbane vanished civilization.
