The rebirth of Ancient Greek in Europe was promoted by Humanist education and ideas to such an extent that we can consider the Greek language as a formative element of Humanist culture. Next to Latin, the default common language, a Humanist has to know and use Greek, because he is not, cannot and will not be a barbarian: βάρβαρος οὐ πέλομαι, as Julius Caesar Scaliger claimed in his verses in 1600. Wreaths (στέφανοι) have been the symbols of the cult of Muses from ancient times. After the love for Greek Muses had been revived by Renaissance Humanist poets and scholars, it has remained with us both in poetic activity and in scholarship. The Hellenostephanos volume presents a collection of papers by scholars who study Humanist Greek, aspiring towards another revival of Hellenism, and trying to avoid being barbarians. The volume includes papers by Christian Gastgeber, Gita Bērziņa, Janika Päll, Charalampos Minaoglou, Erkki Sironen, Kaspar Kolk, Tua Korhonen, Johanna Akujärvi, Bartosz Awianowicz, Jean-Marie Flamand, Walther Ludwig, Alessandra Lukinovich, Martin Steinrück, Tomas Veteikis, Grigory Vorobyev, Vlado Rezar, Pieta van Beek, and Antoine Haaker.
Anastasius Michael was the first Greek to become member of a scientific Academy of modern times. He was appointed external fellow to the Prussian Academy of Sciences (Academy of Bradenburg) in 1707. He was an Hellenist, who taught and especially edited Greek texts in Germany and Russia for many years. He was a major scholar among the Hellenists and Orientalists of Halle. He wrote in Latin, Russian, modern Greek and of course in humanistic Greek. His Speech on Hellenism is a real monument of the humanistic Greek of the early 18th century. This work is a treatise both philological and historical on the Greeks and the Greek language. He dedicated that Speech to the Academy of Bradenburg and it seems that this was his Speech of admission. In it, Anastasius is addressing himself to the Academy and he states clearly his belief that he is a Greek both in origin and in language. In this treatise he fights the opinion of some European scholars of that time who believed that Modern Greek was not Greek language but a barbaric dialect and that both the Greeks and their language had been extinct during the Middle Ages. In order to be more persuasive apart from his philological arguments based on comparative linguistics he uses the ultimate argument: he writes his treatise in excellent atticising Greek proving that the Greeks of his time could still use their ancient language form and indeed in a very aesthetically successful way.

Hellenism? An Introduction2017 •
This chapter introduces the themes of the volume and the individual contributions. It argues that the cultural history of the Hellenistic East transcends the political time frame often associated with the period in Anglophone publications. Therefore, the framework of this study is extended to include the fourth century BCE as well as the first three centuries CE in order to closely investigate the processes of cultural interaction often associated with the term Hellenism. It offers examples of the presence of adapted Greek cultural and political elements in the communities of the Eastern Mediterranean, it raises the question of cross-cultural exchange and its impact on Greekness itself, and it opens the debate on whether terms such as Hellenism, Hellenistic, and Hellenization are still useful to describe the cultural processes in the period under investigation.
