Description

The parakoimōmenos. Byzantine eunuch official.
The parakoimomenos was a Byzantine court position, usually reserved for eunuchs. The position's proximity to the emperors guaranteed its holders influence and power, and many of them, especially in the 9th and 10th centuries, functioned as the Byzantine Empire's chief ministers.

Some people have asked me to return to the topic of historical eunuchs, but I have lost the habit of the topic due to the fact that there was a lot of criticism and negativity. I don’t know what else to come up with, what to portray, that’s all I managed to do. I tried for many hours, and still not really happy with the result *sigh*.
