Adaptation Makarios and Saint Ia Akropolites and Saint Horaiozele The Anonymous and Saint Tatiana What is Metaphrasis? 6. Conclusions 7. Translations and Commentaries for each martyrdomReviews'The three texts are translated into clear English, which is pleasant to read. The notes shed light on several aspects of the stories, notably their lexical richness. Alwis brings three female figures from Byzantine hagiography out of oblivion while creating an original discussion about re-writing not only as a linguistic and rhetorical practice but also a social one. This is a fine study about hagiography as a literary object, drawing on the ancestral strength of story/ narrative as a means of communication.' Anna Lampadaridi, Revue des Etudes Byzantines Translated from French. 'As first-time translations to English, these texts, and the monograph that introduces them, are valuable additions to the extant research, and provide new insight and perspectives for anyone interested in mediaeval history and hagiography.' Sissel Undheim, Plekos Author InformationAnne Alwis is Senior Lecturer in Classical Literature at the University of Kent.
