No comment. "the Odyssey is also the most American of ancient texts" "deep similarities between the ancient Greek epic and the American character."

A big day for me. The final copy of my forthcoming book,“American Odyssey,” was transmitted to the printer this morning. I began writing this book on December 13. Not even six months later, we squeaked under the deadline for its scheduled publication date on July 21. The cover is below, along with a link to the book @C_and_C_Books. Add the code AMODYSSEY20 for a 20% discount. The jacket photo was taken just two weeks ago in the Agora of Athens. Altogether an amazing several weeks, and a very fruitful several months. creedandculture.com/books/american…

@hellas_history you answered a different question to the one posed. You said it yourself- Hellenic is ethnic and cultural. 'Cypriot' is mostly toponymic. (A Cypriot passport can be held by anyone). you understand that Cypriots feel and vote as Hellenic, not a "Cypriot Federation" as per Annan.

@Dvolni The term "Hellenic" has mainly an ethnic and cultural content. Cyprus is the name of an island. I'd be equally adverse to a name like "Cypriot republic of Cyprus" , simple because it's a πλεονασμός (I don't know the English word). And I'd vote against the Annan plan.

@hellas_history Interesting. So, you are also equally adverse to having it named, hypothetically, “the Hellenic Republic of Cyprus”? (bonus question: had you been a Cypriot of that time, would have voted to accept the Annan Plan?) Ευχαριστώ προκαταβολικά

@Dvolni @theo_nash "Hellenic republic of Greece" sounds like "Magyar Republic of Hungary" or "Shqiperian Republic of Albania"

@theo_nash Hellenic just means Greece? I do not know that to be true. Arab having a “wider remit” (actually referring to the then union of Egypt & Syria) still offers no concrete basis for absurdity

@Dvolni Both Arab and Islamic have much wider remits than Hellenic, which just means Greek.

"We don’t want Armenians to be able to serve in Congress.” Randy Fine. Not a smart move: the Armenian diaspora managed to be loved in all places: Beirut, Aleppo, Palestine, California, NJ, Venice ( San Lazaro), Marseille. Fine panicked into generalizing his fight ag. Armenians.

Her name is Lorna Hajdini. She is 37 years old. Executive Director at JPMorgan Chase in New York. One of the most powerful banks in the world. She has worked there for over 14 years. In March 2024, an Indian origin banker named Chirayu Rana joined her team as a Senior Vice President. He was married. He had worked hard to get there. Within weeks, according to a civil lawsuit filed in court, she allegedly began using her position to pressure him into a sexual relationship. When he said no, she allegedly told him “If you do not fk me soon, I am going to ruin you. Never forget, I fking own you.” She allegedly showed up uninvited at his home. When he refused, she said “Do you want to get promoted at year end or not. Do you want a future at JPMorgan. I do not know why you are fighting this.” She made racist remarks about his Indian origin, calling him her little brown boy. She made insulting remarks about his wife, saying “I bet your little Asian, fish head, wife does not have these.” She allegedly told him “You really think management wants some Brown boy Indian leading Originations. If you do not fk my brains out tonight, I am going to sabotage your promotion.” The complaint further alleges she drugged him with Rohypnol before engaging in sexual acts without his consent. He says he pleaded for her to stop. Two witnesses in the complaint support parts of his account. He stayed silent for months out of fear. When he finally filed a formal complaint with JPMorgan in May 2025, he was placed on leave within days. His work access was cut. He received threatening messages referencing his immigration status. When he looked for other jobs, his former colleagues allegedly gave damaging references that blocked every opportunity. He has been diagnosed with PTSD. JPMorgan investigated internally and said it found no merit to his claims. The bank said he refused to cooperate with their investigation. Hajdini’s legal team said she categorically denies every allegation and was never even at the location where the alleged assault took place. The New York Post has also reported that Hajdini may not have had direct authority over his salary or promotion given their separate reporting structures at the bank. The lawsuit was initially filed anonymously and has since been withdrawn for corrections before refiling. No criminal charges have been filed. All allegations are unproven and before a civil court. Chirayu Rana is seeking damages for lost earnings, emotional distress and reputational harm. The case is ongoing. Follow for real stories India never makes headlines about.

@ShippingManJr Komsu, the 1st of May commemorates the Haymarket Sq. protests and deaths in Chicago. You all try to re-write Greek history. You are not allowed to re-write Chicago history. Also, when is a good time to invest in Türkiye bonds? What’s good with the hyperinflation?

@jm_edwards_ Yes, he sees Christianity as carrying over the Jewish mentality into the rest of the world. It is, in his eyes, the instrument by which the Jewish mentality won out against the Roman.

I understand that Nazi thinkers significantly distorted Nietzsche's thought and that Nietzsche was appalled by the antisemitism of his day, but he really doesn't help his case by equating the Jewish mentality with hatred of humanity and warning of its danger for the species.

Παρατηρώ συνέχεια ότι οι περισσότεροι άνθρωποι θέλουν να είναι πλέον μόνοι τους. Οι περισσότεροι θέλουμε να γυρνάμε σπίτι μετά τη δουλειά και να μην έχουμε επαφή με κανέναν για όσες περισσότερες μέρες γίνεται. Το νιώθω σωστό για εμένα, αλλα μου φαίνεται περίεργο για το σύνολο.
