Byzantine re-enactment

[Theodosius the Great]

Familiarity breeds contempt.Thats the case in Greece.

I remember that axiom but only used in the context of war or among traditional enemies. :wink:

The hero like image i mean one present in modern Greece like every kid has about theseus,perseus,hercules or miltiades,leonidas,alexander,pyrrhus

I see. Someone who died gloriously whereas Belisarius died in disgrace. There's something to be said for tragic heroes like him. (Hannibal is another example of the tragic hero.) Be that as it may, with Belisarius I thought his Greek background would at least earn him some mention in Greek history classes.

Thracians were hellenized for a long time before belissarius time and a great part of thrace had greek and greek thracian inhabitants.

Oh, I believe it. With that kind of proximity how could they not be ?

Even when they read about byzantine heroes at school in history and poetry classes they never think them "cool".Seems Byzantines are too cool for school!

Maybe it's just as well. Schools often teach wrong when they teach at all. Better to be unremembered than having one's memory defiled, IMO.
