The paper deals with the discursive peculiarities of Edward Gibbons’ presentation of the last days
of the Byzantine Empire and the rise of the Ottoman Turks. This particular topic will be used to address the questions of the Enlightenment’s construction of the decadent East through the decline of the Greek Empire and the emergence of the progressive West through its colonization of Hellenic knowledge. Gibbon’s History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire presents the paradigm of Orientalist discourse and, as such, will be addressed through post-colonial critical theory in our pursuit of the decline trajectory of the Roman Empire, which transmogrified from the Roman to Greek Empire in its final, decadent phase. The most important question regarding the Fall of Constantinople in 1453 to the Turks will be the perception of the Romans, the Greeks, and the Ottomans in the Age of Enlightenment and the birth of the Orientalist discourse, which justified the ‘civilizational policy’ of ...the West through its colonization and privatization of the Hellenic culture. Special interest will be put on the issue of Hellenic paideia as a crucial aspect of one’s cultural progress. In this sense, the Fall of Constantinople did not feature in Gibbon’s narrative as the ultimate end of the Greek civilization. Its continuity was preserved by the West, and that is what essentially turned the ‘barbaric’ West into a ‘civilization’.
