See also:GEORGE PISIDA [GEORGIos PISIDES] , See also:Byzantine poet, See also:born in See also:Pisidia, flourished during the 7th See also:century A.D. Nothing is known of him except that he was a See also:deacon and chartophylax (keeper of the records) of the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk
- CHURCH, FREDERICK EDWIN (1826-1900)
- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
church of St See also:Sophia. His earliest See also:work, in three cantos (napoavets), on the See also:campaign of the See also:emperor See also:Heraclius against the Persians, seems to be the work of an See also:eye-See also:witness. This was followed by the Avarica, an See also:account of a futile attack on See also:Constantinople by the See also:Avars (626), said to have been repulsed by the aid of the Virgin See also:Mary; and by the Heraclias, a See also:general survey of the exploits of Heraclius both at See also:home and abroad down to the final overthrow of See also:Chosroes in 627. George Pisida was also the author of a didactic poem, Hexaemeron or Cosmourgia, upon the creation of the See also:world; a See also:treatise on the vanity of See also:life, after the manner of See also:Ecclesiastes; a controversial See also:composition against See also:Severus, See also:bishop of See also:Antioch; two See also:short poems upon the resurrection of See also:Christ and on the recovery of the sacred crucifix stolen by the Persians. The See also:metre chiefly used is the See also:iambic. As a versifier Pisida is correct and even elegant; as a chronicler of contemporary events he is exceedingly useful; and later Byzantine writers enthusiastically compared him with, and even preferred him to See also:Euripides. See also:Recent See also:criticism, however,-GEORGE, See also:LAKE
characterizes his compositions as artificial and almost uniformly dull.
