the panhellenic world created by alexander was never destroyed - it merely expanded in every direction, fractured, recombined and fractured again.

we remain panhellenes, today.

there are two counter-examples in the old world - the strong counter-example (subsaharan africa) and the weak counterexample (china, which flirted with panhellenism when it embraced offshoots of buddhism). and, there is the new world, which is built strictly on panhellenic values - despite the indigenous substratum.

so, there is no orient.

we are (almost) all greeks.
