KASSIA: THE LEGEND, THE WOMAN, AND HER WORK, edited and translated by Antonia

Tripolitis

Kassia or Kassiane, as she is known liturgically, was a highly gifted

ninth-century Byzantine poetess long considered by the Eastern Church as the

most distinguished woman hymnographer. Kassia's works are the only ones

included in the ecclesiastical books. She is the only woman mentioned in a

fourteenth-century catalog of famous hymnographers compiled by N. Kallistos

Xanthopoulos, and the only woman included in the frontpiece of a Triodion,

printed in Venice in 1601.

Re: Saint Cassiane Kassia (810-?) ist certainly the most significant female composer of Byzantine church music. The highly educated lady-in-waiting belonged to the circle of women from whom the emperor Theophilos was to choose his wife. Upon realising that she was far superior to him in intelligence and wisdom he repudiated hercausing her tospend the rest of her life in a convent. 49 liturgical chants and secular, moralising songs have been attributed toher.
