An essay on the formation of a "Greek nationality" in the 8th-10th centuries within the Byzantine framework.

Historian of Hellenism, Byzantinist and Neo-Hellenist, Spyridon Zampelios (1815-1881) was a leading figure of scholarship in the newly established Greek kingdom; his contribution to the shaping of a Greek "national narrative" grounded in a mythical continuity with Byzantium proved essential to the forging of a national consciousness.
