The Comparison of the Modern Greek State's Attitudes with its Ancient and Byzantine Tradition
Juraj Vrbanić
Abstract
The essay discusses the relationship between the modern Greek state of the 19th century and its two traditions: antique and Byzantine. The essay explains the purposes and ways in which each was used, which social groups referred to one and which to the other, and what role each of them played in the Greek Uprising and national integration. It shows how, in the nineteen-century Greece, cultural and historical legacy intertwines with politics, and is used to achieve national goals and interests. It focuses on the cultural policy of modern Greece and ideas that are being developed in it under the influence of those two traditions and explains how they set course to it.
