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.
