Morphia of Melitene was a notable figure in the Byzantine Empire, known for her role as a noblewoman and her connections to the imperial family. She was the daughter of Bardas Phokas, a prominent military leader, and her marriage to Emperor Romanos II strengthened political alliances during the 10th century. Her life is often associated with the cultural and political developments of the time, particularly in Melitene, a city in modern-day Turkey. Morphia's influence extended through her children, including Emperor Basil II, who became one of the most significant rulers in Byzantine history.
