Hi Jeaneen,
You will find some clues at Constantelos,
The
Historical Development of Greek Orthodoxy. Check also
Toynbee's, Runciman's and
Woodhouse's books.
Don't forget that Greece in the course of time
has not been the specific geographical area that it is today. Greece is
where Greek is spoken and Greek culture is active. There is a geographically
different Greece in the times of Alexander, different in the Byzantine
millennium, different at the Homeric and at the Classical times. Therefore,
to start thinking your subject you need to clarify what exactly you mean by
the word Greece. In your case Byzantium is the Greece that you need to
research.
