Love, Passion, Intrigues of Byzantine Empresses
A huge amount of time was devoted to caring for their appearance. Theodora often slept long, wishing... to give her face more freshness and tenderness; she frequently took long baths. Zoe Porphyrogenita, in her free time from court ceremonies, wore only very light clothing that suited her type of beauty, loved fragrances, and all kinds of cosmetics. Other empresses, on the contrary, despised luxury and preferred to "adorn themselves with virtue." They were distinguished by their piety, indulging in devout reflections, long prayers before icons, and conversations with monks.
This book in the series tells about the love dramas of these crowned rulers, as well as the intimate world of feelings of Byzantine women.
