With the exceedances of Digenis, we see the task of Hellenism.
Each duel is a symbolic battle.
Digenis is simultaneously a Greek hero, and the Hercules of the Byzantium.
He fights with all the enemies of Christianity through Hellenism.
And he therefore enhances romiosyni.
He functions as a fighter of Time, who has returned to help its own, even if he had to beat Charon himself.
Through Digenis, Hellenism acts effectively and strategically via the afterlife.
The Byzantine Empire had not lasted for so many centuries merely due to faith.
In order to pass to the next cycle of multicyclicity, it created a monochromed amalgam.
So the double-headed eagle acquired the sword of Hellenism and the cross of Christianity.
And it is not accidental, not only when the legend was born, but also when it was recorded in history.
Because the hostile confrontation with the religion which hated the performances, would be more and more intense in the coming centuries.
The bottom line however, is not the end, but the enduring defense which withstood so much all these centuries.
While all others fell as if they were ephemerals.
The Byzantium lasted as a Digenis Akritas,
due to Christianity, through Hellenism.
