Abstract
After the establishment of the new Greek state in 1830, the
Greeks looked into the past as a model for creating of their identity which
did not exist before. However, there were two different ideal types for
tracing of their origins. The supporters of the ancient Hellenic ideology
sought to shape the identity of the new Greek state within the framework
of the ancient Hellenic ideal by denying and excluding the Byzantine
and Ottoman past form the newly projected modern Greek identity.
Thus, the clash between the Hellenic way of interpreting the Greek past
and the Romeic was inevitable. The tensions between the Hellenic and
Romeic models was reflected in the distinction between katharevousa and
demotic Greek language. Here we are examining the tensions between
the two mutually opposed forces in the cultural and linguistic field. The
rift between these two concepts exists even today despite the fact that the
wast majority of the Greeks affiliated themselves with the Ancient Greek
tradition.
