It examines the influence of 19th-century European thought on Greece's national identity, emphasizing themes of nationalism, romanticism, and the reinterpretation of Classical and Byzantine heritage. By bringing together diverse scholarly perspectives, it highlights how these elements contributed to the formation of a distinct and enduring Greek identity that bridges the ancient and modern worlds.
