The question of Modern Greek identity is certainly timely. The
political events of the previous years have once more brought up
such questions as: What does it actually mean to be a Greek today?
What is Modern Greece, apart from and beyond the bulk of
information that one would find in an encyclopaedia and the
established stereotypes? This volume delves into the timely nature
of these questions and provides answers not by referring to
often-cited classical Antiquity, nor by treating Greece as merely
and exclusively a modern nation-state. Rather, it approaches the
subject in a kaleidoscopic way, by tracing the line from the
Byzantine Empire to Modern Greek culture, society, philosophy,
literature and politics. In presenting the diverse and certainly
non-dominant approaches of a multitude of Greek scholars, it
provides new insights into a diachronic problem, and will encourage
new arguments and counterarguments. Despite commonly held views
among Greek intelligentsia or the worldwide community, Modern Greek
identity remains an open question - and wound.
