Among the epic romances of post-Barbarian Europe, such as Roland and El Cid, Digenis Akritas has been the least known in the West-outside Greece. It is the story of a half-breed prince who guarded the eastern border of the Roman Empire of Byzantium on the Euphrates in the tenth century. His name and cognomen sum up the curious richness of the heritage: Roman by politics, Arab and Cappadocian by birth, Greek in language and orthodox by faith-Basil, the Two-Blood Border Lord. On an incursion into Byzantine territory, an Arab Emir captures a Christian lady. Her relatives, in raiding to rescue her, convert the Emir and his people to Christianity and bring them back to the Empire. Basil is born of this union. A prodigy of valor, his miraculous strength in hunting and in battle win him an Arab bride and the loyalty of her family. He settles in a splendid garden palace by the Euphrates, pacifies the Border, fights dragons and bandits only to die young at the same instant as his wife. The poem in English verse translation is full of humor, fairy-tale, and a moving religious devotion. it recaptures an urbane vanished civilization. The translator has collated all the known texts and supports the translation with commentary, a bibliography, and a map.

Reading due的前一晚上才拿到书，于是一口气读完。爱情故事本身非常甜非常玛丽苏，我猜可能是给善男信女看的爱情小说；有一定文学成分，所以读感不错。略微缺乏深度，但可以理解。
