This proposal demonstrates Greece's continuity with the Byzantine Republic, suggesting historical influences remain impactful.
The proposal advances the normative hypothesis that the modern Hellenic Republic may be regarded as the continuator state of the Byzantine Republic. Challenging modernization-based readings of the Greek Revolution, it draws on recent Byzantine scholarship, which reconstructs Byzantium as a res publica, and suggests that Ottoman rule amounted to a prolonged illegal occupation rather than a constitutive historical rupture. This hypothesis is explored through three indicia: the survival of state institutions and titles, the case of Maniot Republic as a connecting link, and cultural continuity as a carrier of state identity.
