Explanation:

In the origins of the Byzantine Empire there was a situation of diglossia between Latin and Greek. The first was the language of the state administration, while the Greek was the spoken language and the main vehicle of literary expression. The Church and education also used Greek. To this must be added that some regions of the Empire used other languages, such as Aramaic and its variant, Syriac, in Syria and Palestine and Coptic in Egypt.

Literature, as in general Byzantine culture in all its aspects, is characterized by three elements: Hellenism, Christianity and Eastern influence. Hellenism because the tradition of classical Greece continues despite the Romanizing attempts of Justinian and his nephew Justin II, who only reached the law. Christianity because that was from Constantine the religion of the Empire, despite intellectual opposition until well into the sixth century; Eastern influence by the close relationship with Asian and African peoples.
