Saw the quote from worst 19th century cliches.
"Greece will go from non-existent in 1800 to becoming the Byzantine Empire by 1900, and the Byzantine Empire will of course be one of the Great Powers of Europe. It will also not be called be Greece, but literally called the Byzantine Empire and style itself as the successor to the original Byzantium, and Europe willtreat this as a normal course of affairs."
So I've been wondering, since the name Byzantine itself is an outsider construct, what would they call themselves if Byzantine were restored?
