Italian article: "We are all Greeks"

Article entitled "We are all Greeks", the Italian professor of ancient Greek and Roman Law at the University of Milan, Eve Kantarelis, published in the newspaper Koriere Della Sera. " The title of the article refers to the famous saying of British poet Percy Shelley and philhellene at the beginning of the revolution of 1821.
The Italian professor, with a brief review of the 19th century and the classical period, wants to remind Europeans debt, such as notes, to Greece. At the same time, it sends the message that today must demonstrate genuine solidarity with Greece.
"In 1821 there were reports in the Greek miracle, the country in which, during the 5th century BC, had blossomed philosophy, historiography, art, democracy, namely culture," writes Eve Kantarelis.
Professor at the University of Milan explains that "today we know that the Greeks were in contact with other peoples of the Mediterranean and that quite a few aspects of their culture from the eastern influences. But this does not detract in any way our debt to this people.
Eva Kantarelis cites the example of historiography, which the Greeks invented as a "literary genre".
As regards the current situation, the distinguished Italian university stresses that "surprise and leaves us speechless that Europe today, or at least a part of our continent, seems to be so indifferent to the fate of the country served as a cradle culture, not just European, but the entire West. In this case, I believe it is our duty to repeat, along with Shelley, that we are all Greeks. "
