Ellada

How and in what manner is this transaction to be accomplished? / In the manner in which the Greeks regained possession of their historic land—the Ellada and its islands. / As a reward to Ellada of antiquity for her presenting the world with her philosophy, art and wonderful science; as an appreciation of gratitude for the great sons she has given to mankind in the persons of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Æschylus, Sophocles and other men of genius who have enriched mankind and who have presented humanity with marble gods and goddesses, such as Minerva, Apollo and the ox Forneszky; in recognition of all these the Powers of the world agreed to have Ellada restored to her descendants.

We should remember that in antiquity, during the period of the greatest flourishing of classical art, elementary education in the public schools of Ellada consisted largely of the Homerian epos and its recitation to the musical accompaniment provided by the pupils themselves.
