The Vanishing of Conscious Hellenism, Minas Savvas, Ph.D.

I was invited as a participant in a panel discussion entitled "The Future of Hellenism in America." The other panelists were a professor of philosophy and a professor of ancient history. The professor of philosophy spoke about the modem borrowings and inspirations that sprang from the glorious achievements of the ancient Greeks. He enumerated some of the plays, operas, musical compositions and artistic works in subsequent centuries that would not have been possible without the legacy of Hellenism.

My family does not come from Greece, but whenever I return to Greece, I feel as though I have come home. I became a philhellene because when I was in the tenth grade I decided to study ancient Greek. Once I started...I couldn't stop. I have never been able to learn enough about it...but perhaps in the course of doing so I can suggest why the ancient Greeks deserve everyone's continuing attention and respect.
