Greek Americans
Definition
- Greek Americans are an ethnic group whose history embraces ancient Hellas (Greece), Byzantine Orthodox Christianity, and the creation of the modern nation of Greece, a country estimated to have a population of 11.2 million people in 2007, during the early part of the 19th century. Since ancient times, Greeks have migrated to foreign lands and established communities, but their nostalgia for their homeland can even be found in Homer's Odyssey.
