	Philhellenism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the German states, the private obsession with ancient Greece took public forms, institutionalizing an elite Philhellene ethos through the gymnasium, to revitalize German education at home at home, and providing on two occasions high-minded Philhellene German princes ignorant of modern-day Greek realities, to be Greek sovereigns.
		The later nineteenth-century Philhellenes were largely to be found among the Classicists, in the growing split between anthropological and Classicist approaches to Ancient Greece.
		The Roman emperors Hadrian and Nero were discribed as philhellenes.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 97.10.13
		Suzanne Marchand's history of German philhellenism and archaeology appears at a time when the precarious position of classical studies stands in peculiar contrast to the commercial success of Hercules in film and television.
		Her project combines social, intellectual, and institutional history in an attempt to expose the nature and impact of "the elitist culture of academic neoclassicism" (xix).
		Marchand's account of German philhellenism is explicitly a story of rise and fall (xviii), and there is much to justify such a view, certainly in terms of prestige, and even, for some eras, of intellectual value.

	Patriotism - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		To actions towards other countries, or to non-civic groups, are not generally described as 'patriotic', and they may be referred to by a specific name, such as pro-Greek philhellenism.
		The "Philhellenes," western Europeans who fought in the Greek War of Independence, are another example; as are the Americans who fought on the Allied side before the entry of their country into the First World War.
		Alasdair MacIntyre would claim that they were not; that these and similar cases are instances of idealism, but not of patriotism.

		It falls into three parts, more or less equal in length, which are bracketed by an introduction and conclusion and followed by extensive notes and bibliography and a disappointing index which is both incomplete and of names only, when there are so many themes to be pursued throughout the book.
		Philhellenes took the Hellenists' idealized portrait of Greece, which included the notion that ancient Greeks had lived in freedom, and transformed it into a call for the liberation of Greece from Turkey.
		Finally, Roessel shows how this 'new philhellenism' was severely damaged by the cruelties of the rule of the military junta from 1967 to 1974.

	Philhellenism - Phantis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Philhellenism ("the love of Greek culture") was the intellectual fashion at the turn of the 19th century that led Europeans like Lord Byron to lend their support for the Greek movement towards independence from the Ottoman Empire.
		When the Greek Revolution broke out on March 25, 1821, many would come to Greece and fight for her freedom.
		It is estimated that over 300 philhellenes died in the war including: 142 Germans, 42 Italians, 60 Frenchmen, 11 Swiss, 21 Britons, 11 Dutchmen, 11 Poles, 10 Scandinavians, 3 Americans, etc.

		Compared with the young Hegel's or with Nietzsche's philhellenism, Arnold's vision of a culture that can embrace both Homer and the Bible must inevitably appear timid, conservative, somewhat schoolmasterish.
		No doubt it is closer in spirit to British parliamentarism than to the ancient Polis or to more recent attempts to establish unified national cultures.

		His philhellenism was a key strategy of the great tactitian.
		Furthermore, Pella had been a resort or refuge of great Greek thinkers, a curiosity given that there is no indication that he was truly a man of the arts and humanities.
		His philhellenism was tollerated due to Macedonia's military strength, although it was well-known that it was not genuine and overrated; and Demosthenes knew how to use it.

		About the age of 20, in 208 B.C., he was elected a military tribune and in 205 was put in charge of the southern Italian city of Tarentum, with the rank and powers of a propraetor.
		After holding various minor offices, in (or before) 199 Flamininus became quaestor and in the same year was chosen consul for 198, although he had neither been aedile and praetor nor attained the required age of 30.
		His election was probably dictated by the combination of philhellenism and diplomatic skills which he had already displayed, for Rome was involved in the Second Macedonian War and needed the support of Greece.

		According to Marchand, their efforts were, in the long run, self-defeating, inasmuch as the humanist enthusiasm that gave rise to classical studies was destroyed by the professionalization of the field: "the triumph of historicist classical scholarship over poetry and antiquarian reverie gradually eroded the very norms and ideals that underwrote philhellenism's cultural significance" (p.
		Ultimately, however, "grand-scale" archaeology was able to challenge the philologists and aesthetes, because it received support at the highest levels of Germany's Imperial - and imperialist - regime.
		From the philhellenic perspective, the pickings on Ottoman soil were potentially rich, but not unproblematic.

		Thus, Romantic Hellenism was a very good basis for philhellenism.
		I would very briefly like to outline the specificity of the reception of ancient culture in the First Republic of Poland, which ceased to exist as a state as a result of being partitioned among Russia, Prussia and Austria at the end of the 18th century.
		This will allow you to get an idea of the soil on which philhellenic ideas fell in the late Enlightenment and early Romanticism.

	Hellenic Studies - Colloquium May 10 - Princeton University
		For Jews urging assimilation into modern Europe, the ancient Jewish encounter with Hellenism was presented with admiration, while for others that encounter was an example of the loss of Jewish religious and national identity.
		My paper will argue that philhellenism was replaced in German-Jewish historiography by a philislamism, and that Hellenism’s impact on Judaism became a contested issue between Jewish and Christian historians, in their respective efforts to construct the origins of Judaism and Christianity.
		By and large, the paper treats obscure German scholars, but an occasional big name will be dropped in a perhaps vain attempt to avoid being both obscure and soporific.

	Hobby-O - (The Diary of John Cam Hobhouse, edited by Peter Cochran)
		Romantic Philhellenism was no vision, for it enabled nothing to be seen, and virtually no decent poetry to be written.
		Rather it provided its adherents with a set of “ideological blinders” (a phrase occurring three times on p.21) from behind which the real Greece – that of both Thucydides and Mavrocordatos – could be blanked out.
		But it was not from Byron’s deflationary prose notes that romantic philhellenism thought it took its inspiration.

	Down from Olympus: Archaeology and Philhellenism in Germany, 1750-1970:0691043930:Marchand, Suzanne L.:eCampus.com
		In Down from Olympus Suzanne Marchand attempts to come to grips with German Graecophilia, not as a private passion but as an institutionally generated and preserved cultural trope.
		The book argues that nineteenth-century philhellenes inherited both an elitist normative aesthetics and an ascetic scholarly ethos from their Romantic predecessors; German "neohumanists" promised to reconcile these intellectual commitments, and by so doing, to revitalize education and the arts.
		Focusing on the history of classical archaeology, Marchand shows how the injunction to imitate Greek art, especially sculpture, was made the basis for new, state-funded cultural institutions.

		Down from Olympus: Archaeology and Philhellenism in Germany, 1750-1970
		Since the publication of Eliza May Butler's Tyranny of Greece over Germany in 1935, the obsession of the German educated elite with the ancient Greeks has become an accepted, if severely underanalyzed, clichÃ©.
		Tracing interactions between scholars and policymakers that made possible grand-scale cultural feats like the acquisition of the Pergamum Altar, she underscores both the gains in specialized knowledge and the failures in social responsibility that were the distinctive products of German neohumanism.

	Greek mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Germany, a generation of Romantic artists and poets idealized the myths created, they were convinced, by a specially-gifted nation in a time of pristine cultural nobility, unsullied as yet by Rome.
		This literary aspect of the Greek Revival was an expression of the Philhellenism of the Romantic generation.
		On the other hand, British classicists continued to see the Greek myths as examples demonstrating how far the modern mind had progressed from its childhood simplicity and superstition.
