El Greco was a painter of Greek origin from Crete, who lived and worked in Spain. That's where he got his nickname from. Dominikos Theotokopoulos was his real name.

@98bigbutt The Muslims also played an important role in preserving and reintroducing Greco-Roman knowledge back to Western Europe. They translated Greek texts into Arabic and distributed them to libraries throughout Islamic lands. Then Western European scholars traveled to Muslim ruled Iberian Peninsula to study, translated books into Latin and brough them back to Western Europe.

It was because of the fall of the Constantinople in 1453 is the reason why the European nations went to colonize the Americas,Southern Africa and Australia. But he forgot to mention that during in the Dark Ages because of the Islamic conquest in the 8th century AD,the people in the Iberian Peninsula had knowledge as well as the Byzantine Empire.

The downfall of the Byzantine Empire was sadder than the downfall of the ancient Roman Empire.

The Byzantine term is a term invented by French writers of the 18th century who did not want to permit the utilisation of the term "Roman" by Greeks. Lets not forget that Greeks of the 18th century were aready under a huge revolution and huge games were played between France, England, Austria and the... 3rd Rome, Moscow. A revival of the Roman Empire was meant to be a negative. Hence, "Romans" (i.e. Greeks) had to re-become Greeks.
For the whole of its history, this was the Roman Empire
