The Greeks of Marseille during the second half of the 19th century : a national and transnational perspective. Erato Paris. This article has a double objective. First, to bring the reader beyond the most common prejudices and stereotypes concerning the Greek community of Marseille. Because the city is reputed for its commercial activities, everybody concluded : merely commercial, without a bit of cultural or intellectual initiatives. As to the Greeks living in the seaport, they were seen as a small, low-educated minority of simple shopkeepers. They were often called « cosmopolites », meaning they had cut off every bit of their Greek roots and adopted those of their new country. Our second objective is to assign that community to its proper place, within the global frame it is entitled to : Hellenism is strongly linked to the history of the Mediterranean Sea (in the broader sense) and of Europe True, the Greeks of Marseille are few : their population goes between 500 and 800 during the whole of the second half of the 19th century. But this community is made up of international traders and shipowners : they take great interest in the survival and betterment of their first culture, investing lots of efforts and money into the social and artistic life of then booming city, in part for that very reason. The article deals among other things with the settlement of the Greek community in Marseille, its wide intermediate trading activities and international networks, and its socio-cultural strategies, in France and in the rest of the world as well
