		There were three main cultural strands in the population: Greek (mostly on the coast), Persian, and native Anatolian, both associated more with the interior.
		And although there is only one inscription attesting it, he seems to have adopted the title "king of kings." The very small number of Hellenistic Greek inscriptions that have been found anywhere in Pontus suggest that Greek culture did not substantially penetrate beyond the coastal cities and the court.

	Asia Minor : Hellenic Speakers
		Personality I am against others today sharing the fate of ethnic cultural groups which during the course of history were sometimes incorporated into the dominant culture and sometimes assimilated by force.
		However, we must realize that at the end of this century, when cultural nationalism is being fomented and has become fashionable, national states which engage in a war of interests can easily exploit national and cultural identities that are in competition with each other.
		Personally I am of the opinion that we must discuss the subject of our cultural identity in a flexible manner which does not give rise to clashes be aware of the sensitivity of the topic, and not ignore reality.

		Because the Byzantine era was profoundly religious, the future of the ancient Greek cultural heritage -especially literature and philosophy- in the Byzantine Empire was determined primarily by the attitude of the Church toward secular learning.

		TÎ¿ be sure, there was continuity with the Greek thought, literature, history and culture of antiquity, but mediÃ¦val Greek civilization was a new synthesis, something living, organic, changing from century to century, even from generation to generation and from place to place.
