The Ethnic Ancestry of the Orthodox Christians of Syria & Palestine by Pavlos Karolidis (Author) and George Manolopoulos (Translator) “Of your proud line and blood, I claim to be”. «ὑμετέρης ταύτης τοι γενεῆς τε καὶ αἵματος εὔχομαι εἶναι». With this quote from Homer, Empress Eudocia, an Athenian and wife of Emperor Theodosius II, addressed the people of Antioch, proclaiming her Hellenic identity and theirs. And this is what today’s Greek Orthodox (and actually the Catholic) as well of Syria, Lebanon and Palestine want to proclaim to their fellow Greeks and the rest of the world. A self-evident truth for millennia that got replaced by the pan-Arabism propaganda, invented and promoted by the then Russian empire to support an expansionist agenda based on falsehoods. But the people of the region are awakening from this false narrative and seeking their roots with the help of science and history. This book comes to aid in their search for their true ancestry. Written in 1909, it lacks the knowledge of the discoveries of DNA and molecular biology. The latter term didn’t even exist at the time. Discoveries that decades later would only reinforce the premise of this book. However, it is written closer to a time when the Orthodox of the region still knew their true history and their national affiliation was to their brethren spread all over the eastern Mediterranean and the Black Sea.
