In 1818 he was initiated into the Society of Friends and then took part in the Revolution in the Danubian Principalities. After its unsuccessful conclusion, he followed Alexander Ypsilantis until the latter died in Vienna in 1827. He then returned to Greece and, after the foundation of the Greek state, held various military and political positions. Lassanis died in Athens in 1870. Τόπος και Χρόνος Γέννησης 1793, Kozani Τόπος και Χρόνος Θανάτου 1870, Athens Κύρια Ιδιότητα scholar, member of the Society of Friends 1. Birth – Early Years Georgios Lassanis was born in Kozani in 1793.1 At a very early age he lost his father, who was a merchant and was killed on a journey back from Vienna. He received his first education in his birthplace, where he stood out for his performance and brilliance.2 At the age of twenty he went to Budapest and worked at the shop of his compatriot Nikolaos Takiatzis, where he fell in love with his daughter and got engaged to her. To his dismay the girl’s parents married her to another young man from Kozani and Lassanis, deeply hurt by the separation, went to Leipzig to study.3 According to a different version, Lassanis left in 1813 for Leipzig, where he studied at the philosophical school of the local university for four years. After he returned to Budapest in 1818, he travelled to Moscow and met Konstantinos Pentedekas, who initiated him into the Society of Friends. But his frequent journeys due to his involvement in the Society of Friends annoyed his father-in-law, who finally broke off the engagement.4 2. Activities as a Member of the Society of Friends During his stay in Leipzig, Lassanis contacted Greek merchants and scholars of Diaspora and was influenced by the speeches of the German idealist philosopher Johann Fichte. His mind was directed to the Greek national issue and after completing his studies in 1817 he left for Moldavia, where he stayed for a while before moving to Russia and finally settling in Odessa (1818). He worked as a teacher at the Greek Commercial School, one of the best educational establishments of Odessa, together with Konstantinos Vardalachos and Georgios Gennadios from Bucharest (both served as principals of the schools).5 Lassanis introduced pioneering teaching methods, particularly the monitorial system, which had already been implemented in the German education. At the same time he demonstrated increased intellectual and political activities. He published articles in newspapers, prepared school textbooks, translated German writers, and wrote and directed tragedies put on by the local theatre. As a member of the Society of Friends he promoted the plans of the organisation. Lassanis frequently travelled to other Russian cities, such as Kishinyov (modern Chişinău), Moscow and Saint Petersburg in order to meet members of Greek communities. The list compiled by Panagiotis Sekeris including the names of those initiated into the Society of Friends until 1818 reports Georgios Lassanis as follows: “Georgios Lassanis, son of Ioannes. From Kozani, Macedonia. Age 25. Through Konstantinos Christodoulos Pentedekas. Moscow, March 18, 1818”.6 The excerpt clearly indicates the date Lassanis was initiated into the Society of Friends, while the adjective “great”is probably an indication of the esteem some of the members of the Society of Friends held for him and his activities rather than a byname, since there is no such reference in the code lists of the organisation.7 Philemon reports that Lassanis was initiated in 1818 by Nikolaos Galatis.8 Lassanis became one of the most important and active members of the branch of the Society of Friends in Odessa. In 1819 he met Δημιουργήθηκε στις 26/9/2021 Σελίδα 1/5 IΔΡΥΜA ΜΕΙΖΟΝΟΣ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΣΜΟΥ Συγγραφή : Ανεμοδουρά Μαρία Μετάφραση : Βελέντζας Γεώργιος Για παραπομπή : Ανεμοδουρά Μαρία , "Georgios Lassanis", Εγκυκλοπαίδεια Μείζονος Ελληνισμού, Εύξεινος Πόντος URL: <http://www.ehw.gr/l.aspx?id=11503> Nikolaos Ypsilantis, together with Antonios Tzounis and Ioannes Ambrosios, and cooperated with him in initiating new members into the Society of Friends, as it happened with the brothers Georgios and Nikolaos Manos, Gregorios Soutsos and Iakovos Rizos Neroulos. The activities of the circle of Nikolaos Ypsilantis displeased the earlier members of the Society of Friends in Odessa and Constantinople, who were suspicious about the creation of a third centre of power.9 According to Philemon, the heads of the Society of Friends in Constantinople accused Lassanis of scheming and “were contemplating even strict measures against him”.10 Τhe leading figures of Constantinople considered that the enthusiasm and the general attitude of the new members of Odessa were putting the Society of Friends at risk.11 3. Acquaintance and Collaboration with Alexander Ypsilantis The disputes between the two sides were put aside when Alexander Ypsilantis became the head of the Society of Friends. On May 12, 1820, following encouragement from the Odessa members, Lassanis sent a letter to Ypsilantis inviting him to visit the city. The new head of the Society of Friends arrived there in early August of the same year and Lassanis was among the first to meet him. He immediately gained the confidence of the prince, resigned as a teacher at the Greek Commercial School and was appointed his secretary. This was the beginning of a close collaboration and friendship that was to last until Ypsilantis’death. On October 1, 1820, he accompanied Ypsilantis to Izmail, Bessarabia, where the Society of Friends convened in order to define its action plan. The meeting decided to put off the onset of the Revolution, planned for November, and give priority to the preparations for the struggle in the Danubian Principalities. By order of Alexander Ypsilantis, Georgios Lassanis left on January 1, 1821 for Iaşi in order to organise military corpses in the principalities and initiate the ruler of Moldavia, Michael Soutsos. At first, he disputed with the ruler and the great postelnic Iakovos Rizos Neroulos, mainly over the organisation of the revolutionary army and the participation of the Moldavian guard.12 However, thanks to Lassanis’diplomatic efficiency, Soutsos was finally convinced to actively participate in the struggle and offer a great amount of money.13 On February 21, 1821, the army under Alexander Ypsilantis crossed the Prut River. On the 23rd of the same month, Ypsilantis arrived at Iaşi and started the Revolution by publishing the revolutionary proclamation “Fight for your Faith and Fatherland”, whose largest part is attributed to Georgios Lassanis, as it happened with the other revolutionary proclamations of Ypsilantis. On the following day Lassanis was appointed the prince’s aide and chiliarch of the Greek army, while together with Skoufos and Orfanos he became one of the prince’s confidants.14 Lassanis was later appointed governor of the city of Targovishte and was among the founders of the Hieros Lochos (Sacred Band). On June 7, 1821, he participated in the battle of Dragasani and was only saved thanks to the intervention of Georgakis Olympios. After the unsuccessful end of the campaign, Alexander Ypsilantis together with his brothers Nikolaos and Georgios, and his confidant Georgios Lassanis left the Principalities and fled to the House of Habsburg, where they were arrested by the Austrian authorities.15 Alexander Ypsilantis maintained his close friendship with Lassanis until he died. In January 1827 the fighter from Kozani filed a discharge petition with the Austrian authorities because the bad living conditions prevailing in jail had harmed his health. He was also asking for a passport to travel to Leipzig, but his petition was rejected. Shortly before he died, in November 1827, Alexander Ypsilantis and his companions were discharged from Theresienstad (modern Terezin) and, after wandering around several Austro-Hungarian cities, they arrived in Vienna on December 10 of the same year.16 Lassanis and his old servant Kavalieropoulos stood by the side of the prince until the end, as it happened with two friends of the prince, the sisters Lulu Tierheim and Konstantina Razumovski Tierheim. After Alexander Ypsilantis died in early 1828,17 Lassanis left for Greece via Munich, where he was accepted by King Ludwig on June 6, 1828.18 He also visited various German cities and Paris before he arrived in the revolted Greece in July 1828, where he put himself at the disposal of Demetrios Ypsilantis. He participated in the battles of Steveniko, Thebes and Livadeia as well as in the last battle of the Revolution given at Petra, Boeotia. In 1834 he got married to the Achaean Euphemia Lianostafida, but their marriage Δημιουργήθηκε στις 26/9/2021 Σελίδα 2/5 IΔΡΥΜA ΜΕΙΖΟΝΟΣ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΣΜΟΥ Συγγραφή : Ανεμοδουρά Μαρία Μετάφραση : Βελέντζας Γεώργιος Για παραπομπή : Ανεμοδουρά Μαρία , "Georgios Lassanis", Εγκυκλοπαίδεια Μείζονος Ελληνισμού, Εύξεινος Πόντος URL: <http://www.ehw.gr/l.aspx?id=11503> remained childless. After the instauration of the modern Greek state, he was appointed general inspector of the army of eastern Greece. He also served as Minister of Economics in Otto’s years as well as prefect of Attica and Aetolia and Acarnania. In 1868 he was awarded the rank of major-general. Lassanis died in Athens in 1870. 4. Writings by Georgios Lassanis Lassanis wrote school textbooks, theatrical plays, poems, historical and political essays as well as translations of theatrical plays. His most important works are: 1. ΣτοιχειώδηςΕγκυκλοπαίδεια(Elementary Encyclopaedia). 2. ΗΕλλάςκαιοΞένος(Greece and the Foreigner), one-act drama. 3. ΑρμόδιοςκαιΑριστογείτων(Harmodius and Aristogeiton), tragedy. 4. ΟαρνησίθρησκοςτουΜοριά(the Apostate of Morias), drama. 5.

  • George Jarvis
    GEORGE JARVIS AN AMERICAN FIGHTER FOR GREEK INDEPENDENCE presented by James L. Marketos AHI Noon Forum March 23, 2006 INTRODUCTION I thought it would be fitting to commemorate Greek Independence Day by examining the brief but eventful life of George Jarvis, the first American volunteer in the Greek war of indepence. We know regrettably few details about Jarvis. He reached Greece nearly three years before the better-known American Philhellenes, Samuel Gridley Howe and Jonathan P. Miller. He died young, near the end of the conflict. So almost nothing is known of Jarvis apart from what is contained in his own handwritten record of events and in occasional references to him by others. Jarvis did not live long enough to see the invention of the camera, so we have no photo of him; and there is no known painting. His co-Philhellenes gave us glimpses, however. Miller said that “[Jarvis] possessed an uncommonly strong constitution and great energy of character,” and that “He has probably seen more fighting and undergone more hardships than any foreigner who has taken part in this contest, having been frequently sick and wounded.” Howe described Jarvis as having “become a complete Greek in dress, manners, and language.” Jarvis was born in Germany in 1798 and was educated there as well. His father, Benjamin Jarvis of New York, had a position with the U.S. government at The Hague. Jarvis was fluent in English, German, and French. By the time he died of “natural causes” (presumably disease) on August 11, 1828, he had also learned to speak, read, and write Greek.

  • American Philhellenes Society Northeastern Illinois University May 15, 2012
    American Philhellenes Society Northeastern Illinois University May 15, 2012 Ladies and Gentlemen, I feel especially honored to address such a distinguished audience here in Chicago. My warmest thanks to the Authorities of Northeastern University for hosting this event, and of course the American Philhellenes Society and its zealous President Mr Pete Nikolopoulos, who for years tirelessly has been working in promoting Greek-American friendship on the basis of common ideals for freedom and democracy that our two nations needed to fight to succeed their Independence. The same values that still tie them strongly after two World Wars and a Civil War in Greece, at the same side of Western Allies. Going back, however, in late eighteenth, beginning of nineteenth century, we will trace those profound affiliations on which the Greek-American friendship edifice has been built up: America’s founding fathers from one side, inspired by the glory of ancient Greece, turned against the British monarchy in 1776 and to protect their new and fragile democracy they articulated a stirring vision of Periclean Athens. And so when the Greek people rose up to seek their freedom in 1821, Americans felt at once that they had a debt of gratitude to repay. In his long, memorable speech to the 18th Congress, as it was recorded in the minutes of its first Session on January 19, 1824 Daniel Webster, perhaps the most well-known Philhellene Congressman from Massachusetts, thanks to whom the Greek cause was introduced for debate for the first time in the American 1 Congress,

The cry “Freedom or death” became the motto of the revolution. The date of March 25 is also a religious holiday, the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary when the Archangel Gabriel appeared to the Virgin Mary and told her she would be the mother of Jesus, the Son of God. The double celebration honors the Mother of God, the Theotokos, and the faith that sustained the Greek people through the hard years of Ottoman oppression and then through the brutal years of war in the fight for freedom.

  • The Relationship Between Homeland and Diaspora: the Case of Greece
    THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HOMELAND AND DIASPORA: THE CASE OF GREECE AND THE GREEK-AMERICAN COMMUNITY A dissertation presented By Panagoula Diamanti-Karanou To The Department of Political Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the field of Political Science Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts April, 2015 1 THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HOMELAND AND DIASPORA: THE CASE OF GREECE AND THE GREEK-AMERICAN COMMUNITY by Panagoula Diamanti-Karanou ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University April, 2015 2 ABSTRACT In an increasingly global world, diasporas are unique actors since they represent a fusion of the cultures, interests and mentalities of their old and new homelands. Thus, the relationship between homelands and diasporas becomes quite significant. Nevertheless, it remains understudied. This dissertation attempts to contribute to the study of this phenomenon through an in-depth examination of the relationship between Greece and the Greek diaspora in the United States. The Greek state and the Greek-American community are interdependent on each other. The state relies on the community for assistance in the areas of development, economic cooperation, humanitarian aid, and advocacy for foreign policy issues. The community relies on the Greek state for support with respect to Greek education and the preservation of Greek culture in the United States. The relationship between the two entities reflects the dynamics of a partnership although the state has tried in the past to extend its control over the Greek-American community.
