Greek antiquity serves as the cornerstone of Western Culture, underpinning our understanding of rationality, philosophy, arts, and sciences. The ancient Greeks provided a remarkable legacy to the rest of the world, a legacy which modern science is rooted in and continually affirms. Yet, the modern Greeks face a disregard for their cultural contributions and are subjected to anti-Hellenism and Hellenophobia.

This not only negates the undeniable contributions of ancient Greeks but also fosters a climate of hostility and discrimination against modern Greeks. Greek antiquity is not only the founder but remains a permanent interlocutor in modern culture and the contemporary world. It is unjust and unfair to overlook these facts.

Moreover, research illustrates the significance of ancient Greek contributions to modern society, including philosophy (Plato, Aristotle), mathematics (Euclid, Pythagoras), democracy, and the arts. Modern Greeks carry on these traditions and continue to enrich our global society.

It is time we end the cycle of anti-Hellenism and Hellenophobia. We must ensure the recognition of and respect for Greek antiquity for its foundational role in western civilization and Greek heritage. Let's work together to ensure the valorization of Greek contributions and to extend the respect and rights due to modern Greeks.
