About Digenes Akritas


Digenes Akrites, known in folksongs as Digenes Akritas and also transliterated as Digenis Acritis, is the most famous of the Acritic Songs. The epic details the life of the hero, Basil, whose epithet Digenes Akritas refers to his mixed Byzantine-Cappadocian Greek and Arab blood.
