Abstract
This paper proposes reading the narratives on the marriage of Theodosius II and Eudocia in Malalas’ Chronography (sixth century), which can be the remnant of a Monophysite Vita Eudociae, and on the marriage of Theophilos and Theodora in the Life and encomium of Theodora (ninth century) as actualisations of the ‘novel of Esther’.
