Modern „greeks“ as you call us we used to call ourselves Ρωμιοί which means Roman. The idea we call ourselves Hellenic is a new one. and admittedly it was beat onto us.

The terms „Roman Empire“ and „Roman“ referred more to who was the true successor to the ancient Roman Empire and the splendor of its golden age, as it evolved into the Eastern Roman Empire and the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, founded by Charlemagne.
In essence, neither of them was truly Roman, especially after their conversion to Christianity and the introduction of religion into politics.
We draw on historical memories and traditions from the Eastern Roman Empire, but as for the concept of being Roman in the sense that I have roots in the classical Roman Empire, I would say no.
It is more a matter of origins from the historical transformation of this empire, which from the 6th century onwards was Roman in name only for the most part.
