Михаил III
Pablo Soler Frost (b. 1965) has published several homoerotic novels, such as "Malebolge", which explores the always controversial liaison between homosexual desire and power, and "La soldadesca ebria del emperador. Diario de Miguel III" ("The Emperor's Drunken Soldiery. Journal of Michael III"), set in Byzantium. This novel depicts the relationship between the Emperor Michael III and his lover, who afterwards murdered him to ascend the throne as Basil I.
