The arrival of the Spanish diplomat Antonio de Zayas came at a key year for the Ottoman Empire. He wrote two works about his experience in the «Sublime Porte», in which he reflected the living conditions of the Greek population and his particular view of the Byzantine past. These characteristics lead me to suggest the existence of a «Greek-Byzantine Orientalism», which runs parallel with the Classical Orientalism.
