it is actually not byzantine orthodox. it is actually the church. the churches in the byzantium were called the Eastern Orthodox Church. at first there was only a common church. but later there were dispute among pope and the patriarch and actually the western Europe and the eastern Europe. so,there was a split, in the west, the churches were called the Roman Catholic Church as the pope as the head and the churches in the east were known as the Eastern Orthodox Church with the patriarch as the head. so the reason for the Byzantium getting the eastern orthodox church is because byzantium is in the eastern European side.
The Patriarch of the Greek Orthodox Church was also the Byzantine Emperor, head of both Church and State.
