"Not even a drop of noble and undiluted Hellenic blood flows in the veins of the Christian population of present day Greece." : Jakob Philipp Fallmerayer  While we mostly look to the future in this podcast, today we delve into the past to understand the enduring identity of the Greek people. Join host Panagiota Pimenidou as she welcomes back historian Dr. Marios Koutsoukos (University of Liverpool, Hellenic Open University, National and Capodistrian University of Athens) to confront the misconception that modern Greeks are disconnected from their ancient ancestors.We'll unravel the complex relationships between ancient Greek tribes – the Dorians, Ionians, Aeolians, and Achaeans – explore their links to the Minoan and Mycenean civilizations, and investigate the distinct impact of the Argead Macedonians. We'll also delve into the legacy of Byzantium and examine the evidence that fueled the Greek War of Independence, tracing the unbroken thread of Hellenism to the modern day.Connect with Panagiota:Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Facebook: Global Greek Influence PodcastYouTube: Giota PimenidouX: @global_greekTikTok: @The Innovation Catalyst
