Filled Under: ARTS AND EVENTS
The Philhellenism movement that developed in Europe in the 19th century was decisive for the development of the 1821 Revolution and the creation of the modern Greek state. Their ideals: Freedom, justice, a vision and a dream. Today a new movement has inspired people from all over the world to declare that they too are Greek (We are all Greeks). Has anyone wondered why? What is their aim?
