St. Cyril
Hey, guess what, if your mother is a Slav from the hinterlands of Thessaloniki, as the hagiography of Sts. Cyril and Methodius recounts (and since you are Greek, you must be Orthodox), and your father is Greek, you can fairly be called both Greek and Slavic. CRCulver 19:28, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- No, ethnic designations are not mutually exclusive. Just look at the number of people who identify themselves as both Mexican and American, or people in antiquity who felt they were Roman and spoke an Iberian language. As a result, the sources which ascribe a Slavonic mother tongue (Nandris, Schenker, Schmalstieg, Gardiner, Lunt, Auty) to them are just as valid as the ones saying they were Greek. Do you accept the hagiography or not? Some patriotic Greek you are if you'd discount the Church for no real reason. CRCulver 19:54, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
