Greatest Greeks of the World: John Argyropoulos, an Apostle of Greek Language and Philosophy

Academic and Byzantine thinker John Argyropoulos pioneered the revival of classical Greek learning in 15th-century Italy, contributing hugely to the restoration of the classical studies and connecting humanists with the Greek spirit. With Leonardo Da Vinci counted amongst his numerous notable students, Argyropoulos' translations and teaching of Greek philosophy helped to disseminate Greek culture to the Western world.
