Abstract

- Byzantine sung poetry had a thing for the “sinful woman” (Luke 7), whom it took to be a prostitute, a woman devoted to sex. Romanos the Melodist, a migrant of Syrian origin, and Kassia, one of history’s first female composers, created version where traditional gender roles remain intact— subversively. These songs contain explicit lyrics. Tripping on the biblical text, they slip into corporeal encounters where characters recognize themselves in biblical harlots, poets see themselves in textual harlotry, and the reader finds her- or himself written into the transgressive narratives. Who am I? I am her.
