John Julius Norwich: "Eudoxia is the first of that long line of Byzantine Empresses, beautiful, worldly, and ambitious, whose names were to become bywords for luxury and sensuality. Widely rumoured to entertain whole strings of lovers ... she was said to flaunt her depravity, together with her court ladies, by wearing a fringe combed down low over her forehead, the recognized trademark of a courtesan."
A very sexy girl, then.
