“Octave Merlier (1897-1976) and Roger Milliex (1913-2006) are two great Neohellenists and Philhellenes who played an instrumental role in cultural relations between France and Greece in the 20th century just as much through their personal work as through the official posts they fulfilled. They never hesitated to unequivocally take a stand in a personal capacity when it was necessary, particularly during the Second World War, but they were known above all for their vital contribution to the forming of Franco-Greek networks of intellectuals and artists thanks to initiatives that were as bold as they were original. Becoming the indefatigable mediators between the two countries, plainly it is the idea of a Mediterranean and, more widely, European culture that they served” (Lucile Arnoux-Farnoux)
