To conclude, we perceive in Gregorios, as in Laskaris, Blemmydes, and other writers of that age, a powerful ideological crisis. The Roman and Christian identities that the Byzantines had worn comfortably for 800 years had now become sources of tension. After 1204, Christianity no longer differentiated them sufficiently from their national enemies. Roman, likewise, could refer to the Byzantines, but it could also refer to the Roman Church, a bitter enemy to the end.

- 눈막고 귀막고 스스로가 로마인이라고 800년간 혼자 우겨대던 똥롬인들. 그들은 1204년 야만족이라고 멸시하던 서유럽인들에게 복날 개맞듯 쳐맞고 시궁창에 쳐박히면서 중대한 정체성의 혼란을 겪게 된다.

로마라는 호칭은 그들의 원수인 로마 교회를 지칭하는 용어이기도 했기 때문

따라서 그들 자신을 서방인들과 구분짓기 위헤 새로운 용어가 필요하게 됨


Graikos was also not a term that the Byzantines could easily accept, being pejorative and imposed by those outside. It could be ameliorated as ‘‘Greek-speaker’’ (this was attempted by Nikolaos Mesarites) and at least it avoided the semantic problems of ‘‘Hellen.’’ Hellen did step in to fill the breach, providing the Byzantines with an ethnonym of which they could be proud and which clearly differentiated them from the Latins, but it carried with it too much baggage from a Christian point of view and implied histories that no one wanted to write. No one was yet interested in hammering out the historical and ideological problems of that word.

-그래서 로마인이라는 명칭에 대한 대안으로 제시된것이 Graikos와 Hellen임

근데 Graikos는 서방인들의 똥롬인에 대한 멸칭이라 절대 받아들일수 없었고 Hellen의 경우 확실히 똥롬인들도 자랑스러워 할수있는 민족명이었지만 이건 종교적이나 역사적으로 받아들이기 힘든 면이 있었다

So we see in the changes and complexities of its usage the effects of a revolution, but unfortunately we cannot see the revolution itself. An ideological crisis that churned beneath the surface of our texts to1ssed up Hellenes in the thirteenth century, but did not produce a satisfying explanation of where they came from, of how they were related to the ancient builders of famous cities, to the authors of that great literature, to the deluded pagans who converted to Christianity, or for that matter to the Romans of Romania.

- 13세기에는  스스로를 Hellenes라 칭한 경우에도 헬레네스 그들이 어디서 왔으며, 고대 로마인과 어떤 관계가 있는지, 로마니아 즉 똥롬의 로마인과는 어떤 관계인지까지는 설명하지 못함


Those problems would preoccupy later generations of Byzantine thinkers, and are still with us. In due course, they produced hybrids such as Graikoromaios and Graikolatinos, Latinellinas and Romaioellinas, Romanos vs. Romaios, and also Philoromaios (for unionists).

- 그러던게 후대에 가서는 Graikoromaios and Graikolatinos, Latinellinas and Romaioellinas, Romanos vs. Romaios, and also Philoromaios 같은 그리스와 라틴 로마의  혼합적인 개념, (그리스계 라틴인, 그리스계 로마인 등)으로 발전하고

In the past, foreigners became Romans when they changed their dress, language, customs, faith, and mentality; by the fourteenth century, the same process was being described as ‘‘adopting the way of thinking and the habit of a Greek.’’ Moreover, Hellenism and Christianity had previously been polar opposites, but now Byzantine writers could call their Church ‘‘Hellenic’’ to differentiate it from the Church of Rome.

- 외국인이 똥롬의 언어와 문화를 받아들이는 것을 과거에는 로미인이 되는 것이라 표현했지만, 14세기에는 같은 과정을 그리스의.전통과 사상을 받이들이는 것 이라 표현하게 되고,

그들의 교회를 로마 교회와 구분하여 그리스(hellenic) 교회라 스스로 칭하게 됨

그리고 이후로는 로마 정체성은 소멸하고 그리스 정체성과 그라스 정교회만 남게 된건 다들 알거임

결국 똥롬의 본질은 그리스인데 천년가까운 세월동안 지들이 로마인이라고 자기최면 걸어온거지
