Explanation:

The Ottomans are Seljuk Turks, a tribe from Central Asia who appeared in the area of Anatolia in the 11th century. After a period of Mongolian rule, they conquered more and more land until the 15th Century when they were attacking the Byzantine Empire from all sides. With the Venetians in the west and the Turks in the east, the Greeks are sandwiched between two major powers, both taking what they want and fighting over the rest. Unfortunately these battles take place on Greek soil. Though subjugation by any power is a bitter pill to swallow the Ottomans are preferable to the Venetians. As long as you pay your ridiculously high taxes they let their subjects live their lives, which is mostly working to make enough to pay your taxes and maybe eat. But the Venetians treat their subjects as slaves with no rights.

From 1520 to 1566 the Ottoman empire expands under Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent. In Greece the monasteries become the centers of learning and many intellectuals escape there with their books and libraries to keep Hellenism alive during these dark ages, or at least this is the popular mythology. During the reign of Suleyman in the 16th century and into the 17th - the Rumci, as they were called in Turkish: Byzantine descended Greeks, had enormous privileges under the Turks. If they paid extra taxes it was because they did not serve in the military. More important from the time of Mehmet II the Greek clergy had enormous benefits and were paid by the Ottoman state. The Patriarch was literally the head of all of the Orthodox Christians and had a position like that of the Vizier. His authority was quite emphatic and bishops (for the first time) were funded from Imperial sources as they acted as leaders of the Christian citizens of the empire and were responsible for their behavior.

Greeks were put into all of the patriarchates - Jerusalem, Antioch and Alexandria. Arabs were not allowed into the higher clergy and there was actually a form of paedomazoma with young boys taken from Greek villages and sent off to these places to eventually become the clergy. It was a real kind of Greek colonialism. When the Ottoman Empire fell, the civil authority over these patriarchates shifted - eventually it was parceled out between Syria (over Antioch), The Jordanese (over Jerusalem) and Egypt (over Alexandria). The very fact that the present-day Greek government (as it did under the Junta) is assuming some sort of right over these Patriarchates is of interest and actually based on no historical precedence... after all, there was no such phenomenon as 'Greece' in a political sense prior to the Revolution of 1821 EVER! For this reason it is also incorrect to say that Greece was occupied by the Turks for 400 years. There was no Greece to occupy. We use the name Greece to refer to the geographic area in which ancient City States (that were independent countries after all) evolved and fought. In Roman times it was a province as it was during Ottoman times. But when we speak of 'Greece' prior to 1829 we are actually speaking of a geographic territory and not a state since it had never been one. More on the Orthodox Church under the Ottomans
