Abstract

Why was Rigas betrayed by a fellow-Greek in 1797, and did this betrayal constitute high treason? The author shows that these questions can only be answered within the larger social context of the Greek 18th century diaspora communities. She also shows that interest for Rigas was not always as great as today, and why this is so. Celebration of historical events depends on the ideological demands of the society at least as much as on the historical events themselves.
