Summary/Abstract: The article examines the formation of political elite in Greece during the „long nineteenth century“, the process of rethinking the role and place of traditionally influential people and families and changes in political conditions under the influence of certain external and internal crisis situations. Like most social phenomena, elites are a historically evolving phenomenon, and in times of crisis they die out or lose their decisive influence in order to give way to new "players" on the political scene. The aim of the study is to trace the emergence, change and disappearance of some elites, the extent to which this occurs under the influence of crisis situations and the relationship. The article examines specific moments of crisis in the selected period, which influenced the development of the Greek state such as the crisis in the mid-40s of the XIX century after the uprising in 1843 with a request to introduce a constitution; the crisis over the change of monarch 1862-1863; the crisis around 1878; "The Long Depression 1873-1896"; the crisis of the Greco-Turkish War of 1897; the crisis of 1909 after the Goody coup; The Balkan Wars.
