History
The Hellenic tradition places value on education and scholarly achievement. Significant milestones throughout human history directly correlate with the study of Hellenism and Hellenic ideals. The Renaissance was one such movement that recognized Hellenism and celebrated its ideals and efforts. Philhellenes have always played a role in the support and protection of Hellenic Studies. At the same time Misograecism (Anti-Hellenic) has obstructed efforts for a greater network of Hellenic Studies institutions.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“It is remarkable how closely the history of the apple tree is connected with that of man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is the true office of history to represent the events themselves, together with the counsels, and to leave the observations and conclusions thereupon to the liberty and faculty of every man’s judgement.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
