What is Hellenism?
originating from Ἕλλην (Éllēn, “a Greek”)
The emulation of ancient Greek culture, civilization, principles and ideals, including humanism, reason, the pursuit of knowledge, the arts, moderation and civic responsibility.
Friedrich von Thiersch
Friedrich Wilhelm von Thiersch (17.06.1784; † 25.02.1860) was a German philologist, also known as the "Praeceptor Bavariae" (teacher of Bavaria) and the "father of humanistic education" in Bavaria. He supported the Greek Revolution by collecting financial aid for Greece and promoting the creation of a German Legion to fight at the side of the Greek rebels.
