==== Assessments ==== In 1868, Gobineau wrote that, without Greece, he would not have been able to do many of the things that he did ("''Sans la Grèce, je n'aurais pas fait beaucoup de choses que j'ai faites. La Grèce y est pour beaucoup''").{{sfn|Budil|2008|p=154}} According to anthropologist Ivo T. Budil: {{blockquote|Gobineau’s experience of Greece involved permanent controversy between ideology and reality, while reality prevailed. In Greece, Gobineau managed to come to terms with manifestations of modernity, nationalism and economic development... [He] was in a certain sense intellectually "liberated" by Greece and forced sometimes to abandon his racial schemes and stereotypes and accept the diversity and contradictions of real life.{{sfn|Budil|2008|pp=153–154}}}} Gobineau's legacy in Greece after his death was ambivalent.{{Sfn|Dimaras|1936}} The Greek philologist and historian {{Ill|Konstantinos Dimaras|el|Κωνσταντίνος Δημαράς|fr|Konstantinos Dimaras|}} considered him a genuine [[Philhellenism|philhellene]] whose words and actions were misunderstood.{{Sfn|Dimaras|1936}}
