The Greeks basically survived through language and education and their newly formed consciousness was Christian and Roman.

Thalia Dragonas, secretary general of the Greek Ministry of Education and university professor from Athens, nowadays faces an avalanche of attacks for stating Greek identity was created in the 19th century.
The charges came in Greek Parliament by the leader of the nationalist party LAOS George Karadzhaferis who pointed at Dragos for writing in her book "What is our country," positively on the Ottoman Empire and Greek claims that identity is created (manufactured by Germany and UK) `in the 19th century.
LAOS claimed Dragos is not a patriot, and has Anti-Greek views for ... stating the obvious.
