I will surprise that the most philhellene Roman Emperor was the Neron
when Neron arrived in Delphi and comes the gold
and wants to get over the Delphi
looks around and saw only the Romei following, and asked: 'Where are the Hellenes?"
someone replies that there are no Hellenes
and Neron said: "memfone ton neona anef elinon"
this was the Roman time, when the Christianity had secured its place based on the Hellenic language.
now we reached the Byzantine things
during Byzantine times
it is not the same between the State with the Ethnic
every Empire is multiethnic, so, there is one State with many nationalities (ethnos)
Byzantine is one multiethnic Empire
the continuation of the Roman Empire
MultiEthnic empire which had the her education Hellenic
which has all the basis in the Hellenic language
and this from the start of the Christianity
from the time when the cappadocian priests
have secured and organized the Christian education
the Hellenic language become the official language of the Byzantine empire
on the start of the 7th century from Heraclio
which had won over Persia at that time,
obtained the title of King over Kings
and we have the complete the Hellenism of Byzantine
while the name Hellene only meant Sun believers during Byzantine times
this Sun believers needed to be forced out and must not intermix into political things of the State
Justinian, is his youth, had one writing who said that the half Hellenes should not have the rights neither to teach, neither to this or that...
so, they were half of representatives Hellenes
which mean that the name Hellenes, stopped being used as a ethnic one, but just the name of the Sun believers religion.
(on 1453, when Ottoman took Constantinople)... which left with a few (7) Cretan ship
which were over there
but the people were not forced to live the City
so do not think it was a great migration, like the time when the German come into Athine (WW2)
no one, only few left
but after o Muhamet brought the Turks in the City,
because could not have the City Turkish otherwise, with whom?!
His army were mostly Albanian!
