The families of Andros Odyssey are entangled in the insanity and
the destructive forces of the Crusades. The Crusades started with
Islam, which expanded through war by making people believe through
force. This brought the Crusades, a series of holy wars. They were
a means of defending against the expansion of Islam. The Crusades
were led by equally self-righteous, intolerant and ruthless people.
The proto-imperialism of the Crusaders introduced Western
aggression to the Middle East, leaving it in ruins and at the same
time, devastating Byzantium, which happened to be in the way. In
desperation, the Byzantines had to fight both, Christians and
Moslems. Byzantium, with its stiff resistance against the idea of
the Crusades, soon became an enemy to the West. As a result, the
failed Crusades left Byzantium exhausted and vulnerable to new
attacks from the East. In spite of the danger to the West, help
against the Turks came too little and too late, resulting in the
total destruction of Byzantium and the fall of Constantinople.
families evolve and old families are transformed because of name
changes under the Turkish occupation.
