The facts on the card

- He served as a high ranking courtier and advisor to several Byzantine emperors and was instrumental in the re-positioning of power of those emperors.
- Psellos made lasting contributions to Byzantine culture by advocating the revival of Byzantine classical studies, which would later influence the Italian Renaissance, as well as by interpreting Homeric literature and Platonic philosophy as precursors to and integral components of Christian doctrine.
