Greece:The Land of Ellas:

Ancient Topography - Modern Legacy

May 15 - June 13, 2004

The revolution which separated the Greek people from the OttomanEmpire began in 1821. Nine years later the war for independence waswon and Greece became a nation. In so doing, it was following in the

quest for “liberty”, which had already been successfully sought and gained in America and in France.Enthusiasm for both the French and this new country of “Ellas” or “Greece” ran high in the youthfulUnited States of America as shared brothers and sisters in the benefits of the revolutionary ideas ofwestern Renaissance and Enlightenment thought. But few realized, and most of those who did know,elected to forget that the Hellenes had never been a “western” culture, although the ideas which hadcreated the “West” had experienced their birth among the Greeks in the remote time of Socrates andhis student Plato.

The Greeks themselves had taken a different path from the West, their civilization and cultural ideasalways orienting themselves toward the East as part of the ancient Hellenic and Hellenistic world, andthen successively the eastern Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman empires. If they remembered anythingabout their pre-Ottoman past, it was as Eastern Roman citizens of the Byzantine world. Constantinople,not Rome or Athens, was their revered city, as it remains to this day.

The intellectual leaders of this Ottoman-Byzantine society, however, realized that they must have help ifthey were to carry out their Enlightenment induced dream of independence, learned through study inforeign universities of the West, particularly Paris. And so they popularized among their own people, andtook to the Western powers as a demand for support, a new idea that while true, had little to do withthe conscious thinking of those whom it would free. These Western trained leaders claimed that Greecewas the quintessential Western country, for it was there that the ideas originated upon which the Westwas founded, spread to the west by the Hellenized Romans and the Renaissance. As part of their plan,the link between the fifth century B.C. and the nineteenth century was shortened so that it appearedthat the almost fifteen hundred years of Greek other-directedness was ostensibly swept away. And aconscious program was designed to create a new Greece or Ellas, which saw itself as the direct heir ofthe age of Pericles to which the West traced its origins and its continuity. It was a triumphant fiction, forit not only attracted foreign western powers to the side of the Greeks in their revolution but alsocreated a national pride in the people themselves. But the triumph was to be costly for the Greeks inthat the idea which brought their new country into being also caused a bifurcation of the Greekmentality.

The Greeks came to think of themselves as the preeminent westerners where Western Civilization hadbeen created while remaining, in fact, the product of eastern, and particularly Byzantine-Ottomanthought. That bifurcation continues to haunt the Greeks today as Greece embraces wholeheartedly theEuropean Community, yet does not intellectually share Europe’s heritage or tradition and thereforestands aloof.

This is the idea we will explore in our program. Visiting the great sites of the remains of Classical andByzantine Greece, we will explore them as we examine the modern country and its role in the worldtoday. No Greek thinks of himself or herself as European while at the same time considering everyEuropean to be in legacy a Greek.
