Abstract
In the aftermath of the economic crisis, there has been a notable shift in focus within Greek society towards matters of a more historical nature. In the fields of literature, art, cinema and television, there has been a notable shift towards a focus on historical sources in the creation of new works. This has resulted in the reappearance of themes from the Ottoman era up to the 1970s in public culture since 2010. This paper examines the emergence of Entertaining History, to contextualise it within the socio-economic milieu that gave rise to it, and to identify ruptures and discontinuities with the conventional historical narrative in its products, with a particular focus on television series broadcast from 2015 to the present.
