Besides i want to clarify something about what i said earlier:

Rusyn said : lets be honest Byzantine Empire was just Eastern Roman/Latin Empire)

not exactly!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantine_Empire

Although the Roman state continued and its traditions were maintained, modern historians distinguish Byzantium from its earlier incarnation because it was centered on Constantinople and not Rome, oriented towards Greek rather than Latin culture, and characterised by Eastern Orthodox Christianity, instead of Roman Catholicism or Paganism.

During the high period of the Roman Empire known as the Pax Romana, the western parts of the empire went through Latinization, while the eastern parts of the empire maintained to a large degree their Hellenistic culture.

Look i never denied that Byzantine was mostly built on Greek culture and that most inhabitants of the Empire were ethnic Greeks hence making Greek an official language of empire. But what i am refering too is that Royal Family of Byzantine Empire, even in times when it already got helenized, was still of Latin origin. First few centuries since the Establishing of Eastern Roman Empire, the official language was Latin here too just like at the Western Roman Empire. However due the Helenization process that Latin language got lost and replaced by Greek. That is what happens when Romans try to make another (Eastern Empire) in the territory full of Greeks.

ORTHODOX as taught by the Holy Fathers (Vasileios, Grigorios, Chrysostomos) had few to do with Greek.

Greek-Orthodox is an oxymoron, a much later ANGLO invention.

Yes,these Orthodox fathers that you talk about,are Greek orthodox christians from Asia minor.That's why they happen to have Greek names and they preached in the Greek language.Which  was the lingua franca of the Byzantine empire,also known as Imperium Graecorum.you understand?

The term Greek Orthodox Church has two meanings. The broader meaning designates "the entire body of Orthodox (Chalcedonian) Christianity, sometimes also called 'Eastern Orthodox,' 'Greek Catholic,' or generally 'the Greek Church'". The narrower meaning designates "any of several independent churches within the worldwide communion of [Eastern] Orthodox Christianity that retain the use of the Greek language in formal ecclesiastical settings".

At the time, Kapadokian Greeks were TRU Greeks, absolutely no doubt about it.

BUT in Istanbul the language was LATIN, at the same time.

WHATS MORE.

GRIGORIOS considered the work : Greek as an insult, and taught that the ethnic-Greeks were an alien culture to Orthodoxy.

So, those 3, and ALL early Orhtodox Christians were FIRST OF ALL ORHTODOX.

Ethnic affiliation was not even a secondary concern.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?

"there's no need to repeat the same things again and again.we just disagree.This thread is locked for now,the last posts are irrelevant to it's subject.this thread is for biographies of prominent modern Greeks only."

Stay on topic!

Emmanouil Karalis Wins Silver for Greece in European Championships

Pole vaulter Emmanouil Karalis won silver for Greece on Sunday at the European Indoor Championships that took place in Istanbul.
The Greek champion came second in an ultra-tight competition that saw five men finish on a best of 5.80m.
Karalis was edged out of the gold medal by Norway’s Sondre Guttormsen, who helped his nation to top the medal table with four golds.

Karalis shared the silver with Piotr Lisek of Poland. Guttormsen won via a flawless series up to and including 5.80m, putting him in firm command as the bar moved to 5.85m, where no one was successful.
Grecian Delight supports Greece
Karalis recorded just one failure before that, at 5.60m, while Lisek’s sole failure came at 5.70m.
Karalis, the son of a Greek father from Pyrgos, and a Ugandan mother, has the Greek pole vault record of 5.86m, set on Feb 18, 2023, in Athens, Greece.

The Greek champion narrowly missed a medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021

Current positions

Associate Professor in Genetic Epidemiology and Public Mental Health
Bristol Medical School (PHS)

My research focuses on using genetic epidemiology to understand the causes and consequences of mental health problems in the general population. My group investigates childhood mental health and (neuro)developmental problems, including ADHD, autism and cleft lip and/or palate and their progression across the lifespan.

We use polygenic risk scores, Mendelian randomization as well as other causally informative designs and longitudinal observational investigations to study the natural progression of mental health traits across the lifespan, factors involved in developing mental health problems at different time points and outcomes.

I currently lead an MRC research grant focused on improving mental outcomes in children born with cleft in collaboration with the Cleft Collective, one of the largest genetic studies of cleft lip/palate, and the MRC Centre for Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics in Cardiff University. Our work aims to investigate common and rare genetic factors (Copy Number Variants) implicated in mental health problems in children born with cleft.
