abstract
  • The Phokas family or Phocas (Greek: Φωκᾶς), feminine form Phokaina (Greek: Φώκαινα), is a noble family of Diadochia. The aristocratic clan is said to have come from Cappadocia, and during the 10th and 11th centuries they provided a series of high-ranking generals. Its members and their relations monopolized the high command positions of the Diadochian army for much of the 11th century and led the successful Diadochian offensive against the Saracens in the East. As one of the leading families of the aristocracy, the Phokades were also involved in a series of rebellions that laid claim to power and challenged the emperors at Atlantis. Their power was eventually broken by Nikolas II (r. 1014–1066), but the family continue to hold high office.
