The prophet and founding hero of modern archaeology.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Konstantinos Polias<\/p>\n<p>An important facet of the philhellenic dimension among philosophers and intellectuals in Europe during the 18th and 19th century is the almost unanimous recognition in the humanistic tradition, of ancient Greece as a cultural ideal of fundamental significance for the identity of European, or of Western modernity. \u03a4his does not amount to philhellenism in the strict sense of acts by foreigners in support of the liberation of modern Greece from the Turkish rule during the revolution of 1821. This recognition of ancient Greece<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a> was established during the second half of the 18th century, at the same time as the beginning of the regeneration of Greek national consciousness. It laid the groundwork for justifying philhellenism in the strict sense, based on the argument of the cultural debt of Europe, or of the West, to ancient Greece. As pointed out by Terence Spencer, philhellenism \u201cderived from a classical partiality in favour of the supposed descendants of ancient pagan Hellenes; and it inspired the notion that there existed an urgent moral obligation for Europe to restore liberty to Greece as a kind of payment for the civilization that Hellas had once given to the world.\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The work of German classicist, historian and art theorist Johann Joachim Winckelmann is emblematic of the recognition of ancient Greece as ideal of Europe, or of the West, which took the form of a \u201cGraecomania\u201d <a href=\"#_ftn3\" name=\"_ftnref3\">[3]<\/a>. His work had a great influence on philosophers and intellectuals, such as Herder, Kant, Goethe, Schiller and more generally on German Idealism and Romanticism. In his book <em>Reflections on the Painting and Sculpture of the Greeks<\/em> of 1755, Winckelmann claims that \u201cthe only way for us to become great or even inimitable if possible, is to imitate the Ancients and what someone said of Homer, that he who has learned to understand him well has learned to admire him, is also true of the art of the Ancients, and of the Greeks in particular.\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn4\" name=\"_ftnref4\">[4]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, in his book <em>History of the Art of Antiquity <\/em>of 1764, Winckelmann outlines the reason why the works of the ancient Greeks were so far ahead of their time and were the ideal of art worth emulating. This was: the political freedom which characterized the political composition and their government; with Athenian democracy its zenith which shaped the mentality of people.<a href=\"#_ftn5\" name=\"_ftnref5\">[5]<\/a> In a similar way, Helvetius responds in 1758 in his book <em>Of the Spirit<\/em> to the question of the difference between the modern and the ancient Greeks. He refers to difference in the form or the spirit of their government that shapes the \u201cspirit of nations\u201d.<a href=\"#_ftn6\" name=\"_ftnref6\">[6]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Winckelmann\u2019s work is a basic source for the cultivation of the ideal of ancient Greek culture that Voltaire uses in his <em>Pindaric Ode on the occasion of the present war<\/em>, that is the insurrection of the Greeks against the Turks in 1770 during the Russo-Turkish War of 1768-1774. In the <em>Ode<\/em> that documents Voltaire\u2019s philhellenism in the strict sense, Pallas Athena expresses his hopes for the outcome of the struggle:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I want to revive Athens,\/ Let Homer sing your combats\/<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Let the voice of a hundred Demosthenes\/ Revive your hearts and your arms\/<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Come forth, be born again, lovable Arts,\/ From these deplorable ruins,\/<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">That hid you under their debris;\/ Take back again your antique brilliance.<a href=\"#_ftn7\" name=\"_ftnref7\">[7]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u0391s David Roessel points out, in the poem, the independence of modern Greece is not \u201can end in itself but rather a prelude to the regeneration of \u2018Greece\u2019 an artistic, spiritual, and\/or political ideal\u201d, whereas according to Olga Augustinos the \u201cliberation meant \u201cnot the creation of independent Greece but the victory of reason and human rights\u201d.<a href=\"#_ftn8\" name=\"_ftnref8\">[8]<\/a> This ideal of the cultural inheritance of ancient Greece also explains the iconic phrase of Percy Bysshe Shelley \u201cWe are all Greeks\u201d in the preface of the lyrical drama <em>Hellas <\/em>that predicts the success of the revolt of the Greeks against the Turks in 1821 and was published in 1822.<a href=\"#_ftn9\" name=\"_ftnref9\">[9]<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11378\" style=\"width: 195px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11378\" class=\" wp-image-11378\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eefshp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"185\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eefshp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/1.png 686w, https:\/\/www.eefshp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/1-206x300.png 206w, https:\/\/www.eefshp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/1-484x705.png 484w, https:\/\/www.eefshp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/1-450x656.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 185px) 100vw, 185px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-11378\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Percy Bysshe Shelley.

The contrast between joy and grief follows the contrast of the Spinozan introvert \u201cnature\u201d and the Kantian extrovert \u201chuman vocation\u201d (freedom) in a way that is characteristic for early romanticism. Thus after a hymn to the natural beauty of the \u201choly earth\u201d <a href=\"#_ftn13\" name=\"_ftnref13\">[13]<\/a> he will wonder: \u201cBut what is that to me? The howl of the jackal, singing its wild dirge amidst the rubble of antiquity, jolts me from my dreams.\u201d \u00a0And then he goes on, making clear his interest in the modern enslaved Greece: \u201cHappy the man for whom a flourishing fatherland gladdens and fortifies the heart! Being reminded of mine is like being pitched into the mire, like having the coffin lid slammed shut over me, and whenever someone calls me Greek, I always feel I \u2018m being throttled with a dog collar.\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn14\" name=\"_ftnref14\">[14]<\/a> In what follows, Hyperion participates enthusiastically in the liberation movement of the Greeks which eventually failed, referring to the insurrection of 1770 during the Russo-Turkish War of 1768-1774.<a href=\"#_ftn15\" name=\"_ftnref15\">[15]<\/a>\u00a0 Hyperion returns to Germany and to \u201cnature\u201d <a href=\"#_ftn16\" name=\"_ftnref16\">[16]<\/a>, but the novel ends with the characteristic phrase \u201cMore anon\u201d <a href=\"#_ftn17\" name=\"_ftnref17\">[17]<\/a>, implying the \u201chuman vocation\u201d (freedom), which is the opposite of \u201cnature\u201d.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11380\" style=\"width: 189px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11380\" class=\" wp-image-11380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eefshp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"179\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eefshp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/2.png 476w, https:\/\/www.eefshp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/2-201x300.png 201w, https:\/\/www.eefshp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/2-473x705.png 473w, https:\/\/www.eefshp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/2-450x670.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 179px) 100vw, 179px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-11380\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hyperion oder der Eremit in Griechenland.

In April, on Palm Sunday, he gave a speech entitled <em>The Rebirth of Greece. A Program for the Resurrection Celebration<\/em> that was enthusiastically received by the audience<a href=\"#_ftn18\" name=\"_ftnref18\">[18]<\/a> and was published with a dedication to his Greek students<a href=\"#_ftn19\" name=\"_ftnref19\">[19]<\/a>. In agreement with the connection between the rebirth of Greece and the Resurrection, also stated in the preface in terms of the Kantian \u201chuman vocation\u201d <a href=\"#_ftn20\" name=\"_ftnref20\">[20]<\/a>, Krug begins his speech with the concept of \u201cChristian politics\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn21\" name=\"_ftnref21\">[21]<\/a>. Thus he adds the other basic element of the philhellenic argumentation (in the strict sense), beyond that of the debt for the cultural inheritance of ancient Greece<a href=\"#_ftn22\" name=\"_ftnref22\">[22]<\/a>, namely the community of Christian faith. Abroad, \u201cChristian politics\u201d has to fight with the non-Christian\u201d.<a href=\"#_ftn23\" name=\"_ftnref23\">[23]<\/a> Once again, Krug uses, for the first time, the argument of the illegal \u201csovereignty of the Turks\u201d, since it was acquired in violation of international law through a war of aggression. Additionally he invokes the Lockean argument that the Turkish regime treats its subjects in an extremely arbitrary manner.<a href=\"#_ftn24\" name=\"_ftnref24\">[24]<\/a> \u00a0In August 1821, Krug makes the first call for the foundation of associations that would support the Greek revolutionaries, which leads in many occasions to a reaction on the part of the authorities.<a href=\"#_ftn25\" name=\"_ftnref25\">[25]<\/a> Krug\u2019s call had however a major impact and numerous associations were founded.<a href=\"#_ftn26\" name=\"_ftnref26\">[26]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Four months after the revolution, the professor of philology Friedrich Thiersch became active in a similar way in Munich through the publication of a series of articles in the <em>Allgemeine Zeitung<\/em>.<a href=\"#_ftn27\" name=\"_ftnref27\">[27]<\/a> Like Krug, Thiersch also uses the two basic arguments for the justification of philhellenism (in the strict sense), namely the debt for the cultural inheritance of ancient Greece and the community of Christian faith.<a href=\"#_ftn28\" name=\"_ftnref28\">[28]<\/a> In addition, Thiersch promoted the bold plan of recruiting and sending to Greece a \u201cGerman legion\u201d to assist Greek revolutionaries.<a href=\"#_ftn29\" name=\"_ftnref29\">[29]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In 1812, Thiersch had already given a speech to the Munich Academy of Sciences on the subject of Greece\u2019s rebirth, based on reports from Greece.<a href=\"#_ftn30\" name=\"_ftnref30\">[30]<\/a> The focus was on the efforts of the Greeks in the creation of a national cultural and political consciousness<a href=\"#_ftn31\" name=\"_ftnref31\">[31]<\/a>, and in particular the foundation of educational institutions and the promotion of the increasingly important sciences<a href=\"#_ftn32\" name=\"_ftnref32\">[32]<\/a>. In Vienna in 1814 he became a member of the Philomousos Society and met Kapodistrias. He also met the Metropolitan Bishop Ignatios and Dean Anthimos Gazis, who was the editor of Hermes o Logios, and was informed by them about the plans for liberation.<a href=\"#_ftn33\" name=\"_ftnref33\">[33]<\/a> As member of the Academy of Munich he ensured that well known Greek scholars including Korais, Gazis and Mustoxidis<a href=\"#_ftn34\" name=\"_ftnref34\">[34]<\/a> became corresponding members and he also arranged for the immediate support of Greek schools in the Ottoman Empire<a href=\"#_ftn35\" name=\"_ftnref35\">[35]<\/a>. As the Philomousos Society was sending young Greeks to study in Germany on scholarship, in 1815 Thiersch implemented the idea of a special educational institute to prepare them for their studies. He did so at his own home and it was called the Atheneum.<a href=\"#_ftn36\" name=\"_ftnref36\">[36]<\/a> It was from those students that Thiersch learned to speak modern Greek fluently.<a href=\"#_ftn37\" name=\"_ftnref37\">[37]<\/a> His activity in this first phase, as well as after the revolution of 1821, provoked the Austrian government to place him under surveillance following the revolution.<a href=\"#_ftn38\" name=\"_ftnref38\">[38]<\/a> In particular, it was the \u201cGerman legion\u201d issue which led to the intervention of Metternich himself, and thus Thiersch had to reject the idea in public.<a href=\"#_ftn39\" name=\"_ftnref39\">[39]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Later on, after a two-year stay in Greece in 1831-1832, during which he played a mediating role in the civil conflicts after the death of Kapodistrias, Thiersch published in Leipzig a two-volume book in French under the title <em>Kapodistrias\u2019 Greece. The Present Situation of Greece (1828-1833) and the Means to Achieve its Reconstruction<\/em>. In this book, one of the things he advises the Greeks is to follow a policy of neutrality in foreign politics.<a href=\"#_ftn40\" name=\"_ftnref40\">[40]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Goethe\u2019s decision to include six folk songs or klephtika in an issue of his journal <em>\u00dcber<\/em> <em>Kunst und Altertum<\/em> of 1823 is remarkable.

Collection SHP.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The thesis concerning the fundamental character of the ideal of ancient Greece for Europe or the West to understand themselves, clearly had a widespread influence on philosophers and intellectuals (philhellenism in the broad sense). But over and above this, as we have seen above, a number of philosophers and intellectuals expressed their support for the Revolution of 1821. These included: Krug and Thiersch from Germany; as well as the friends Shelley and Byron from England and Chateaubriand and Hugo from France. We must also note the English philosopher Jeremy Bentham, who responded to the proposal of the Greek government in 1823 to submit his remarks on the first Constitution of Epidaurus<a href=\"#_ftn62\" name=\"_ftnref62\">[62]<\/a>. They contributed significantly, largely through their texts which were important to the philhellenic movement in the strict sense and to the efforts of liberating Greece from the Turkish tyranny and of regenerating the Greek nation. The basic argument was the debt for the cultural inheritance from ancient Greece and the community of Christian faith. Another important factor was the love of freedom, especially in the case of Byron\u2019s decision to participate personally in the Greek Revolution. <a href=\"#_ftn63\" name=\"_ftnref63\">[63]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>References\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\">[1]<\/a> Loukia Droulia observes that \u201cthe initial meaning of the ancient term <em>\u03c6\u03b9\u03bb\u03ad\u03bb\u03bb\u03b7\u03bd<\/em> was \u2018friend of the Greeks\u2019, admirer of ancient Greek literature and of ancient Greek culture\u201d. \u201cThis was the case also during the Renaissance, when e.g. Aldus Manutius addressed in his prefaces the \u201c<em>\u03c6\u03b9\u03bb\u03ad\u03bb\u03bb\u03b7\u03bd\u03b5\u03c2<\/em>\u201d, those that loved ancient Greek literature.\u201d Loukia Droulia,<em> \u201c<\/em>The Revival of the Greek Ideal and Philhellenism.
