1567historical_info = flavor_byz.21.historical_info Many of these poems are considered the start of Modern Greek Literature, some of which even became a symbol of Greek nationalism. One of these poems, and perhaps the most known, is the tale of Digenes Akritas, a border guard from both Greek and Arab descent, who protects the Byzantine Empire from the Arabs, and even slays mythical beings such as dragons.
