The Idea of Greece is a seven-part podcast exploring the Greek Revolution of 1821. This podcast is produced by the Hellenic Heritage Foundation (HHF) and hosted by Georgia Balogiannis. The series is also under the auspices of the Greece 2021 Committee. Sponsored by Agape Greek Radio. Original music by Demetri Petsalakis. This is not the history you learned in Greek School!

Georgia Balogiannis and Professor Sakis Gekas, the HHF Chair in Modern Greek History at York University in Toronto, go beyond the larger-than-life narratives of the Greek Revolution's heroes to look at who they really were.  Also, what exactly makes a hero in the first place?
