摘要：With the Archaic period and with the development of Panhellenic institutions, like the Olympic games, and the rise of enemies, like Persia, who helped to crystallize ideas of “the fatherland in danger,” we may begin to pose questions about Greek self-consciousness, as in the famous speech by the anonymous Athenian speakers in Herodotus (8.144.1-3), who name the four markers of the Greek nation as: shared lineage, language, religion, and customs. How far has it been true historically that these four features have acted as the wheels on which the vehicle of Hellenism has traveled, and where inside the vehicle has the weight of the “passenger” been distributed? I will present an overview of the multifaceted expressions of diachronic Hellenisms, and will explore at more length the reiteration of the classical past in Modern Greek renderings of national identity.
