text_original: The Greeks themselves were divided between those who looked for help to the West and those who hated any idea of the union ; Italians were dishked by the Greeks who considered them as rivals in trade, and the Italians themselves were split up into Venetians and Genoese, bitter enemies of long standing. One man, however, commanded universal admiration and was obeyed by all parties alike.
