This booklet is a brief introduction to Pontic Greek history for those who are not interested in reading detailed work on this topic. My aim is to produce a well-researched work in English on Pontos to pass onto our youth. In this booklet I use the word ‘Pontic’, the academically accepted term in English for people from Pontos. All the many academic references are included at the end of the booklet.
My many more detailed articles on Pontic history and culture can be found at least on the excellent PontosWorld website here. My book, Topalidis (2007), A Pontic Greek History, can be found in some libraries. I have referred often to the landmark research by Professor Anthony Bryer, the great doyen of Pontic history. For those who can read Greek, I recommend the excellent work by Dr Vlasis Agtzidis.
