# Philhellenism Philhellenism is an admiration for Greek culture and, in a particular nineteenth-century political form, foreign support for the [[wiki/Greek War of Independence|Greek struggle for independence]]. American expressions of sympathy for that struggle included Daniel Webster's address to Congress, later quoted by Marco Rubio at the [[wiki/Pnyx|Pnyx]]. Admiration, diplomatic support, and material participation are different forms of philhellenism and should not be conflated. ## Related [[wiki/Greece-United States Alliance|Greece–United States Alliance]] · [[wiki/Hellenic Cultural Inheritance|Hellenic Cultural Inheritance]] · [[wiki/Neo-Westernism|Neo-Westernism]] ## Sources - [Philhellenism and the Greek Revolution](https://www.hellenicparliament.gr/en/Enimerosi/Grafeio-Typou/Deltia-Typou/?press=8c87e38c-a558-4881-9a40-ad590131d5e6), Hellenic Parliament. - [[research/Secretary Rubio Delivers Remarks from the Acropolis in Athens|Rubio speech dossier]].
