Настоящую книгу составили переводы греческих текстов VIII–X веков,
рассказывающих различные истории, подчас фантастические, о древней
культуре Константинополя. Заброшенные в «темные века» здания и непонятные статуи внушали горожанам суеверный ужас, но самые смелые из

жизнью. Загадочные руины обрастали пышными легендами, а за парадным
фасадом Города крылся необычный мир древних богов и демонов.
