Original Title:
Μετασχηματισμοί του εθνωνύμου Ἕλλην τον 4ο αιώνα. Ο Ιουλιανός σε διάλογο.
Translated title:
Reformations of the ethnonym Hellen during the 4th century. Julian in dialogue.
Summary:
After the first half of the fourth century, the Christian doctrine appeared to be the indisputable, sovereign cult, in the religious conflicts that took place in the vast acreage of Late Roman Empire. Earlier this period, the ethnonym “Hellen” adopted a novice, “religiousbased” meaning, designating “pagans”, which would prevail among others in the following centuries. Emperor Julian’s reign (361-363) comprised a brief disruption of the inevitable domination of Christianity. In the present paper, we study the functions of the ethnonym “Hellen” in the julianic corpus, as well as in contemporary scholars, in order to illuminate the julianic philosophical and religious thought, as well as to contribute in the broad literature about ethnic identities in Late Antiquity.
