La población bizantina de principios del siglo VII vivía una crisis de larga data. Sin embargo, la asunción de Heraclio al poder trajo consigo esperanzas renovadas. El poeta de la corte, Jorge de Pisidia, se constituyó en el vocero principal de este nuevo emperador. En su Expeditio Persica, el poeta emplea recursos y estrategias adecuados a las preferencias y exigencias del público receptor con la intención de legitimar al nuevo soberano. Si bien no podemos partir de las características de un público que no conocemos, podemos deducir, a partir del texto, algunas particularidades de esta comunidad. El propósito de este artículo es analizar aquellos recursos que nos permitan esbozar una descripción aproximada del público receptor del texto.
