| Summary: | Between the late 7th and the early 8th Centuries eleven bishops of Rome were \"Greeks\", Greek-speakers born in Sicily or in the eastern regions of the Mediterranean world. Many historians labelled those years as the «Byzantine captivity»of the papacy, assuming that \"Greek\" popes necessarily were imposed by a Byzantine Emperor. On the contrary, it has been argued that Greek popes did not matter, because the city of Rome was politically already Byzantine and culturally Greek, point of arrival of a considerable migration of Easterners who simply rose through the ranks of the Roman ecclesiastical hierarchy. Through the analysis of Agatho's papacy (678-681), the first \"Greek\" pope, and his role in the Monothelite controversy, it will be shown that the debate should be reopened. Their \"Greekness\", neither ethnic nor political, but cultural, did matter, and it shaped the cultural, political and ideological history of the papacy. |
