text: Zoe Karbonopsina , also Karvounopsina or Carbonopsina , i.e. , `` with the Coal - Black Eyes '' ( Greek :   , Z Karbnopsina ) , was fourth wife of the Byzantine Emperor Leo VI the Wise and the mother of Constantine VII. Zoe Karbonopsina was a relative of the chronicler Theophanes the Confessor and a niece of the admiral Himerios . Desperate to sire a son , Leo VI married his mistress Zoe on 9 January 906 , only after she had given birth to the future Constantine VII at the end of 905 . However , this constituted his fourth marriage , and was therefore un-canonical in the eyes of the Eastern Orthodox Church , which had already been reluctant to accept his third marriage to Eudokia Baïana , who died in childbirth in 901 . Although the Patriarch Nicholas Mystikos reluctantly baptised Constantine , he forbade the emperor from marrying for the fourth time . Leo VI married Zoe with the assistance of a cooperative priest , Thomas , but Nicholas ' continued opposition to the marriage led to his removal from office and replacement by Euthymios in 907 . The new patriarch attempted a compromise by defrocking the offending priest but recognizing the marriage . When Leo died in 912 , he was succeeded by his younger brother Alexander , who recalled Nicholas Mystikos and expelled Zoe from the palace . Shortly before his death Alexander provoked a war with Bulgaria . She returned on Alexander 's death in 913 , but Nicholas forced her to enter a convent after obtaining the promise of the senate and the clergy not to accept her as empress . However , Nicholas ' unpopular concessions to the Bulgarians later in the same year weakened his position and in 914 Zoe was able to overthrow Nicholas and replace him as regent . Nicholas was allowed to remain patriarch after reluctantly recognizing her as empress . Zoe governed with the support of imperial bureaucrats and the influential general Leo Phokas the Elder , who was her favorite . Zoe 's first order of business was to revoke the concessions to Simeon I of Bulgaria , including the recognition of his imperial title and the arranged marriage between his daughter and Constantine VII. This renewed the war with Bulgaria , which began badly for the Byzantines who were distracted by military operations in Southern Italy and on the eastern frontier . In 915 Zoe 's troops defeated an Arab invasion of Armenia , and made peace with the Arabs . This freed her hands to organize a major expedition against the Bulgarians , who had raided deep into Byzantine Thrace and captured Adrianople . The campaign was planned on a grand scale , and intended the bribing and transportation of Pechenegs into Bulgaria by the imperial fleet from the north . However , the Pecheneg alliance failed , and Leo Phokas was crushingly defeated in the Battle of Anchialus and again at Katasyrtai in 917 . Zoe tried to ally with Serbia and the Magyars against Simeon . This also failed to produce any concrete results , and the Arabs , encouraged by the empire 's weakness , renewed their raids . A humiliating treaty with the Arabs of Sicily , who were asked to help subdue revolts in Italy , did little to improve the position of Zoe and her supporters . In 919 , there was a coup involving various factions , but the opposition to Zoe and Leo Phokas prevailed ; in the end the admiral Romanos Lekapenos took power , married his daughter Helena Lekapene to Constantine VII , and forced Zoe back into a convent .

text: Basil I, called the Macedonian ("Basíleios  Makedn"; 811  August 29, 886) was a Byzantine Emperor who reigned from 867 to 886. Born a simple peasant in the Byzantine theme of Macedonia, he rose in the Imperial court, and usurped the Imperial throne from Emperor Michael III (r. 842867). Despite his humble origins, he showed great ability in running the affairs of state, leading to a revival of Imperial power and a renaissance of Byzantine art. He was perceived by the Byzantines as one of their greatest emperors, and the Macedonian dynasty, which he founded, ruled over what is regarded as the most glorious and prosperous era of the Byzantine Empire.

text: The Byzantine Empire, also referred to as the Eastern Roman Empire, was the continuation of the Roman Empire in the East during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, when its capital city was Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul, which had been founded as Byzantium). It survived the fragmentation and fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD and continued to exist for an additional thousand years until it fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. During most of its existence, the empire was the most powerful economic, cultural, and military force in Europe. Both "Byzantine Empire" and "Eastern Roman Empire" are historiographical terms created after the end of the realm; its citizens continued to refer to their empire as the "Roman Empire" (tr. ), or "Romania", and to themselves as "Romans".

text: Maximian (c. 250  c. July 310) was Roman Emperor from 286 to 305. He was "Caesar" from 285 to 286, then "Augustus" from 286 to 305. He shared the latter title with his co-emperor and superior, Diocletian, whose political brain complemented Maximian's military brawn. Maximian established his residence at Trier but spent most of his time on campaign. In the late summer of 285, he suppressed rebels in Gaul known as the Bagaudae. From 285 to 288, he fought against Germanic tribes along the Rhine frontier. Together with Diocletian, he launched a scorched earth campaign deep into Alamannic territory in 288, temporarily relieving the Rhine provinces from the threat of Germanic invasion.

text: In Greek mythology, the Heracleidae or Heraclids were the numerous descendants of Heracles (Hercules), especially applied in a narrower sense to the descendants of Hyllus, the eldest of his four sons by Deianira (Hyllus was also sometimes thought of as Heracles' son by Melite) Other Heracleidae included Macaria, Lamos, Manto, Bianor, Tlepolemus, and Telephus. These Heraclids were a group of Dorian kings who conquered the Peloponnesian kingdoms of Mycenae, Sparta and Argos; according to the literary tradition in Greek mythology, they claimed a right to rule through their ancestor. Since Karl Otfried Müller's "Die Dorier" (1830, English translation 1839), I. ch. 3, their rise to dominance has been associated with a "Dorian invasion".

text: The Roman emperor was the ruler of the Roman Empire during the imperial period (starting in 27 BC). The emperors used a variety of different titles throughout history. Often when a given Roman is described as becoming "emperor" in English, it reflects his taking of the title "Augustus" or "Caesar". Another title often used was "imperator", originally a military honorific. Early Emperors also used the title "princeps" (first citizen). Emperors frequently amassed republican titles, notably "Princeps Senatus", "Consul" and "Pontifex Maximus".

His wife bore him a daughter Alcmena and many sons (Stratobates, Gorgophonus, Phylonomus, Celaeneus, Amphimachus, Lysinomus, Chirimachus, Anactor, and Archelaus). Electryon had an illegitimate son Licymnius by Midea, a Phrygian woman. The six sons of Pterelaus, King of the Taphians, descended from Electryon's brother Mestor came to Mycenae to claim a share of kingdom. When Electryon spurned their request, they drove off his cattle; Electryon's sons battled against them, and all but Licymnius (on one side) and Everes (on the other) died. Everes sold the cattle to Polyxenus of Elis. Amphitryon, Electryon's nephew and promised in marriage to Alcmena, bought the cattle and returned them to his uncle, but accidentally killed him as he threw his club at one of the cows. Electryon's brother Sthenelus seized the throne of Mycenae, charged Amphitryon with murder, and sent him into exile.

text: Heracles ( "Hrakls", from "Hra", "Hera"), born Alcaeus ("Alkaios") or Alcides ("Alkeids"), was a divine hero in Greek mythology, the son of Zeus and Alcmene, foster son of Amphitryon and great-grandson and half-brother (as they are both sired by the god Zeus) of Perseus. He was the greatest of the Greek heroes, a paragon of masculinity, the ancestor of royal clans who claimed to be Heracleidae and a champion of the Olympian order against chthonic monsters. In Rome and the modern West, he is known as Hercules, with whom the later Roman emperors, in particular Commodus and Maximian, often identified themselves. The Romans adopted the Greek version of his life and works essentially unchanged, but added anecdotal detail of their own, some of it linking the hero with the geography of the Central Mediterranean. Details of his cult were adapted to Rome as well.

text: The Cold War was a state of political and military tension after World War II between powers in the Eastern Bloc (the Soviet Union and its satellite states) and powers in the Western Bloc (the United States, its NATO allies and others). Historians do not fully agree on the dates, but a common timeframe is the period (the second half of the 20th century) between 1947, the year the Truman Doctrine (a U.S. policy pledging to aid nations threatened by Soviet expansionism) was announced, and 1991, the year the Soviet Union collapsed.
