Only a few epics written by straight white Christian men. That's all.
Minorities, juden, gays and women are left in the dust of literary history.

Saint Justinian (Emperor) signed a law in place that punished unrepentant homosexuality with death. In Justinian's Code, promulgated in 529, persons who engaged in homosexual sex were to be executed, although those who were repentant could be spared.

Definitely biblical and historical precedent for capital punishment and outlawing sins like murder, rape, homosex, etc

I can understand why Jovian burned the library of Antioch. I can understand why Theodosius outlawed the Olympics and extinguished the Fire of Vesta and tore down the temples etc etc etc as a threat to Christianity, but why did Justinian ban the philosophical schools of Athens? Were they really a threat to Christianity, or was there some ulterior motive?
