In Greco-Roman literature, basileia is attested from the time of Herodotus as the area or state over which a king reigned, while basileus, attested from the time of Linear B, was employed as a general term for a ruler and, later, more specifically a king. Other incorporations were largely of films with little movement within the frame: Eros, o Basileus (1966); the first half of his previously unseen film of Delphi; and Sorrows (1969), a study of Wagner's house. How many a soporific Empire, secure in its long-standing abundance, has been swept away by barbarian hordes, simply because the basileus or caliph had spent his life in risk-free palaces? |
