Abstract
The present article aspires to trace and present the axes/views of self-referentiality in
the epical-encomiastic poem Expeditio Persica, as the extensive composition of the
yzantine poet of the 7th century, George of Pisidia, is conventionally so entitled. It attempts to localize some characteristics that are included in the literary term
self-referentiality; the direct and indirect presence of the poet himself in his own
creation, the reference to his ideas, technique, expressive means, etc. Whilst the use of
this term might be considered as an anachronism for the Byzantine texts, it is
worthwhile to approach a text of an older era with the literary terminology of the
recent decades. Such an approach will enlighten the work and the purpose of the poet,
since it will lead us to a deeper comprehension of his intellectuality, especially in the
parts of the poem where he was influenced by his predecessors, as well as to a
profound understanding of the audience in such matters. Furthermore, emphasis will
be given in the intertextuality between the examined poem and preceding texts. Last
but not least, the modern readers and researchers will have the opportunity to
approach the poem with the modern ways of reading and they will be capable of
making comparisons even with modern texts. For a better examination of all the
aspects of this subject, it is helpful to define specific categories and to include in them
all the references that derive directly and indirectly from the poem that is being
examined.
