Eugenios Voulgaris or Boulgaris[ (1716–1806) was a Greek Orthodox cleric, author, educator, mathematician, astronomer, physicist, and philosopher. He wrote about every discipline: legal, historical, theological, grammatical, linguistic, astronomy, political, mathematics, archaeology, music, secularism, euthanasia, and the tides. He wrote speeches, poems, appeals to Catherine II for the liberation of Greece, and hundreds of letters. He edited valuable editions of Byzantine writers and classical books and translated many texts from Latin into French. He was one of the students of Methodios Anthrakites. He translated many important foreign language academic documents into Greek. He was bishop of Cherson (in Crimea). He was a leading contributor to the Modern Greek Enlightenment

The Greek Enlightenment was given impetus by Greek dominance in commerce and education in the Ottoman Empire. This allowed Greek merchants to finance large numbers of young Greeks to study at universities in Italy and the German states. There, they were introduced to the ideas of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution. It was the wealth of the extensive Greek merchant class that provided the material basis for the intellectual renaissance that was the prominent feature of Greek life during the half century and more leading up to 1821. It was no accident that on the eve of the Greek War of Independence the epicenters of Greek learning, i.e. schools-universities, were located in Ioannina, Chios, Smyrna (Smirni) and Aivali (Kydonias), also Greek commercial centers.

The Zosimades (Greek: Ζωσιμάδες) or Zosimas brothers were 18th-19th century Greek benefactors and merchants.
