Review title: Byzantine Greeks were very Barbaric
Product review: After reading the three volume series, I can't help but think the Byzantines were outrageously barbaric people. European ideals don't include fratricides (killing all your siblings when one becomes the king), or throwing thousands of captive people to the wild beasts for entertainment. They found the bloody slaughter highly amusing. The author complains there is not much interest in Byzantium's history. After reading his books, it is not hard to understand why.
