🚨SON DAKİKA: Türkiye'nin Lozan Anlaşması kapsamında Yunanistan'a devredilmeyen Ege’deki 152 ada için Kurban Bayramı sonrası çıkartacağı kanun ile egemenlik ilan etmeye hazırlandığı söyleniyor.

Kasta Tomb: The countdown to the great return to light has begun! A historic moment for Greek archaeology is drawing near. Starting in early 2028, the global public will finally be able to cross the threshold of the largest Macedonian monument ever unearthed.

An ancient score (4th-3rd c. BC) found on a marble slab in Vrasna, Thessaloniki. Letters in Chalcidic/Attic script reveal a symphonic-instrumental melody. Deciphered by experts, its notes Φα-Ρε-Ρε-Μι-Φα-Λα (F-F-D-D-E-F-A) echo a unique musical heritage. 🎼🏺 #MusicHistory

A foreign woman (tourist)on Eleusis' Sacred Way stops at the House of Heralds. Touching an olive tree, she stands still, as if the ancient soil transmits its memory, mystery, and soul to her bare hand—bridging the gap between past and present. 🏛️🌿 #Eleusis #Greece #History

Greek George Charalambopoulos is the European champion in hand-to-hand wrestling. He humiliated the Turk and climbed to the first step of the podium.

When the Greeks open their flag in Turkey they are arrested, on the other hand when the Turks come to Greece with armies of flags and with a depiction of the genocidal Kemal they enjoy their freedom.

One competitor managed to stay on top for 2000 years and that was Leonidas of Rhodes who was on top 12 times for individual sports. This record was broken in 2016 by the American Michael Phelps, when he won the 13th gold medal. Pausanias described him as the most famous runner

The suicide of Ajax. Metope from Paestum (6th c. BC). This masterpiece from Magna Graecia proves how Greek colonies preserved their heritage. Founded by Achaeans in the 7th c. BC, Paestum kept the hero’s tragic legacy alive far from the mainland. A gem of the Paestum Museum.

@Elnoranis 🙏

@FreshSummerWind Thank you!

Professor Jiang states that greek civilisation flourished because it was based on two values, Arete and Eudaimonia, both coming out of Homer's epic poems Iliad and Odyssey.

@SeyidP193 Islamofascist Turks, your end is coming.

@FreshSummerWind Life without parole to cuck suckers. Imrali Island right next to Ocalan.

1/2) Two Greek tourists face up to 4 years in a Turkish prison for simply holding a Byzantine flag in Hagia Sophia. Turkey's Islamist regime used CCTV to hunt them down and now accuses them of "inciting hatred". Pure authoritarian persecution. #FreeTheGreeks #HagiaSophia

@Aster_Rex_I People must follow the Greek way of thinking. It is the only way.

🇬🇷 This is peak civilisation. While others chased power or piety, the Greeks chased Arete — becoming the best version of themselves — and Eudaimonia, the flourishing that follows. No wonder their ideas outlived empires. 👑 In an age of mediocrity, we need this reminder more than ever. Homer didn’t just tell stories. He set the standard for humanity.

@korhanism Said an idiot Turk.

@FreshSummerWind 2 greek tourists wanted to open a Greek flag in Hagia Sophia in order to show how friendly and peaceful Greek nation is. But evil Turks put them in jail because they think this is provocation. This narrative is better for you.

Some tourists visit the Acropolis first... Metallica choose straight gyros, souvlaki and ice-cold beers like true legends. Some bands ask for champagne...🍾🥂 Legends ask for extra "tzatziki".

4/4 Rituals & Mourning: Before marriage, girls cut a lock of hair as a sacrifice to Artemis or Aphrodite for blessings. In contrast, cutting one's hair short voluntarily was the ultimate sign of deep mourning, sacrificing their finest asset to honor a deceased loved one.

3/4 Age & Marriage: Unmarried girls wore their hair long and free, symbolizing youth and purity. Upon marriage, women were required to bind their hair up in elegant buns (like the korymbos) or cover it with veils, signaling they now belonged exclusively to their husband’s oikos.

1/4 In ancient Greece, a woman’s hair was never just about beauty. It was a powerful cultural tool functioning as a social, religious, and political symbol. Your hairstyle instantly revealed your status, age, and freedom to the entire polis. 🧵
