This article aims at presenting the idea of change within the collective self-understanding of what we are used to designate as the "Greeks", primarily focusing on the 19th century. Despite the frequent use of the category "Greeks" as a diachronic entity, a more minute examination rapidly shows that a constant change of collective self-perception took place. To put it in a nutshell : a Greek-orthodox, hence religious, group with fuzzy boundaries in terms of ethnicity was replaced by national groups in the 19th century and fully institutionalized with the creation of Balkan modern nation states and in 1923 the Treaty of Lausanne that expelled all Greek-orthodox people from Modern Turkey and Muslims from Greece in a compulsory exchange of population (with minor exceptions). Despite this population engineering, the only real success of nationalism in the region, cultural traces among today's Greek population still bear an ironical or nostalgic testimony for what used to be "Greek", thai is "rômaíiko", before this letal ideological rupture.
