- Affreusement.
- For long after Photius's death his memory was held in no special honour by his countrymen. But when, in the crusading age, the Greek Church and state were alike in danger from Latin encroachments, Photius became a national hero, and is at present regarded as little short of a saint. To this character he has not the least pretension. Few men, it is probable, have been more atrociously calumniated; but, when every specific statement to his prejudice has been rejected, he still appears on a general review of his actions worldly, crafty and unscrupulous. — (1911 Encyclopædia Britannica, 1911, volume 21, « Photius » → lire en ligne)
- Pendant longtemps après la mort de Photius, ses compatriotes n'ont fait aucun cas de sa mémoire. Mais lorsque, à l'époque des croisades, l'Église et l'État grecs étaient tous deux menacés par les empiètements latins, Photius est devenu un héros national, et il est aujourd'hui considéré comme rien de moins qu'un saint. Pour ce personnage, il n'a pas la moindre prétention. Peu d'hommes, il est probable, ont été plus atrocement calomniés ; mais, lorsque chaque déclaration spécifique à son préjudice a été rejetée, il apparaît toujours dans une revue générale de ses actions, mondain, rusé et sans scrupules.
