Philhellenism ("the love of Greek culture") and philhellene ("the admirer of Greeks and everything Greek"), from the Greek ''philos'' "friend, lover" and ''hellenism'' "Greek", was an intellectual fashion prominent mostly at the turn of the 19th century. It contributed to the sentiments that led Europeans such as Lord Byron or Charles Nicolas Fabvier to advocate for Greek independence from the Ottoman Empire. The later 19th-century European Philhellenism was largely to be found among the Classicists. ==Philhellenes in antiquity== In antiquity, the term 'philhellene' ((ギリシア語:φιλέλλην), from ''φίλος'' - ''philos'', "dear one, friend" + ''Έλλην'' - ''Hellen'', "Greek"〔(Philos, Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, "A Greek-English Lexicon", at Perseus )〕) was used to describe both non-Greeks who were fond of Greek culture and Greeks who patriotically upheld their culture. The Liddell-Scott Greek-English Lexicon defines 'philhellen' as "fond of the Hellenes, mostly of foreign princes, as Amasis; of Parthian kings(); also of Hellenic tyrants, as Jason of Pherae and generally of Hellenic (Greek) patriots.〔(Philellen, Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, "A Greek-English Lexicon", at Perseus )〕 Some examples: *Evagoras of Cyprus () and Philip II were both called ''"philhellenes"'' by Isocrates() *The early rulers of the Parthian Empire, merging Iranian and Greek culture described themselves as philhellenes 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Philhellenism」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
