Delving into the epigrams of the second category, particularly those related to the Cross and the Crucifixion, our attention will be focused on the presence of beauty, its meaning, and the role it played within the category of Byzantine epigrams. The aim of this article is to identify relevant epigrams (by anonymous or known writers), make some basic observations and reach certain conclusions regarding the issue of beauty.application/pdfByzantiumByzantine scholar poetryByzantine epigramCrossCrucifixionChristCross woodByzantine MicroArtStaurothekeValuable MaterialBeautyBody of ChristfolyóiratcikkOpen AccessActa Classica Universitatis Scientiarum Debreceniensishttps://doi.org/10.22315/ACD/2021/13Acta Classica Universitatis Scientiarum Debreceniensis57Acta Class.
