ABSTRACT
This volume draws on recent research and provides a forum to reflect on Hellenism. A distinguished group of historians, classicists, anthropologists, ethnographers, cultural studies, and comparative literature scholars have contributed essays exploring the variegated mantles of Greek ethnicity, and the legacy of Greek culture for the ancient and modern Greeks in the homeland and the diaspora, as well as for the ancient Romans and the modern Europeans. This work is intended to initiate a public dialogue among authoritative and discipline-specific voices, exploring a variety of Hellenisms, and sets out to present a sense of Hellenism in the construction of a grammar of national ideologies.
