Well-known compatriots, feeling it as their primary duty to preserve our historical and cultural heritage, have written a selected series of books, all carefully chosen, documented, responsibly presented, and their contribution to Pontian history is invaluable from every aspect.
Among these, a prominent place is held by the new book of the distinguished scientist - passionate Pontian and warm compatriot Konstantinos Chionidis, ‘The Greeks on the Shores of Pontus’. In short, with a cinematic recounting of the entire Pontian presence in the historical realm, from ancient times to the present, Konstantinos Chionidis manages to lead us directly to the sources of our tradition.
Shocking events, personal recordings from the many missions he has undertaken in the ‘Unforgotten Homelands,’ and unknown elements that played a crucial role in the development of the Greek state after the Asia Minor Catastrophe are included in the marvelous work of Konstantinos Chionidis, professor at the Boston University School of Medicine.
The popular record of the legends and traditions of Pontian heritage, with the synthesis of deep historical knowledge and the elements that Konstantinos Chionidis has preserved, acquires greater value for each scholar, given the rich bibliography the author so diligently presents. This work is essential for anyone needing to study the history, tradition, and evolution of Greek Pontus.
Specifically for the new generation, this book is the best legacy and cultural endowment the pure fighter, patriot, scientist, and author Konstantinos Chionidis could leave. For this new generation of our homeland and the third and fourth generations of migrants who wanted to learn but lacked the source to nourish them, it is the best that has been presented.
Moreover, the enrichment of international literature with the new work of Konstantinos Chionidis will once again benefit the brilliant Pontian History and Tradition. With the current publication of the exceptional work of scientist, doctor, author, compatriot, friend, and collaborator Konstantinos Chionidis, another brilliant work will enter the Pontian bibliography, making it even more luminous and invaluable.
‘The Greeks on the Shores of Pontus’ will be the link that will connect Pontian mythology, the splendid Pontian history, and the optimistic future, as envisioned by the author from Boston. Thus, the phrase will be validated once again: ‘A people that has forgotten its history and tradition, if it has not died, is on the verge of death.’ Doctor Konstantinos Chionidis, as a prolific author, ensures that the history and tradition of the Greeks of Pontus are not forgotten with his new work ‘The Greeks on the Shores of Pontus’.
