Yeah.

You show the women as important as the men.

And this is also the early Christian church.

So women had been allowed to be priests.

Women had been taken seriously.

If you look at the Gospels, you've got the Marys.

They all matter.

So this is kind of just the end of that as well.

So she's got this amazing stature.

And I thought, well, she must have been important.

And I couldn't find any novels about her.

And I was like, well, this is weird.

And then I found the Procopius stuff.

And she's mentioned a little bit in Robert Graves' Belisarius.

But every time she's presented as a whore, a slut, a tart who just liked sex.

Not that there's anything wrong with liking sex.

And that she's, yeah, obviously, she's a bad woman.

And of course, what she is, is she's a woman with power.
