In Greece, we name our sons Achilles and Odysseus, and our dogs Hector and Paris.

The fact that nobody names their kids Achilles, Menelaus, Agamemnon or Odysseus these days, but here are tons of Hectors around says a lot.

We give those names in Greece. Go ahead. Guess why.
Also I have an uncle named Menelaus, I had a student name Odysseus and I’ve met a few Achilles.

Trek med nogle af de mest crazy beslutninger nogensinde. Ikke meget i dette løb har været klogt.
Men underholdende har det været

#TDF2026 - I can't believe what I am witnessing. Trek is pulling in the peloton now to close the gap they contributed to create in favour of Ayuso and Skjelmose, they could've done it way before as the sprint for Pedersen was already secured at least 40 km before it.

@apeattacksne @EternalGamrrst @nonregemesse Thank you for informing me what YOU mean by "Greek." Now the world knows that if a black or Asian person ever moves to Greece, raises a family there, learns the language, and becomes a citizen, you believe he does not have the right to call himself Greek.

“places where only one race existed” - the Mediterranean
Paulo Costa@BorrachinhaMMA
This trend where every movie has to feature people of all races—even historical films set in places where only one race existed—is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen in cinema.

The longest World Cup has come to an end - with the right champions. But on the way to the final whistle, the tournament had lost its credibility. Politics must not be allowed to overshadow the game. Now it is up to the fans, players and national associations to reclaim football and bring it back to its roots under new leadership. #Fifa #worldcup #fifahalftimeshow #donaldtrump #gianniinfantino

@oresundsbaron De leaker det nok ikke offentligt, men du kan være sikker på, det bliver delt internt.
Dansk
To do or not to do - that is the question.
Radio 4 skriver de godt kan garantere at de ikke deler min identitet med offentligheden eller frembringer den på anden måde.
Men at de er nødt til at få Baronens identitet verificeret inden interviewet.
Hvad siger I? To do or not to do? Afstemning i kommentarsporet!😎
Baronen af Øresund@oresundsbaron
Jeg kan bekræfte at være i kontakt med journalisten Andreas fra Radio 4 om et eventuelt interview. Det skal dog være med den betingelse at min anonymitet bevares, så hvis det kan aftales, så er der håb for at høre Baronen i radioen. Time will tell😎

Odysseus sails home in a Viking ship.
The vessel in Nolan’s Odyssey is Draken Harald Hårfagre, the largest Viking ship built in modern times. Built in Haugesund, Norway. Named after Harald Fairhair, our first king.
The Odyssey is set around 1200 BC. Ships like this appeared around 800 AD. The Viking Age is closer to us today than to Odysseus.
Homer’s ships were black, low, open galleys, light enough to be dragged onto the beach at night. Not a 35-meter dragon ship built for the North Atlantic.
A sailing reconstruction of a Mycenaean warship already exists: the Argo, 50 oars, built in Volos, Greece. Nolan filmed in Greece. He still picked the Viking ship.
This week Draken sails down the Norwegian coast to the Oslo premiere. She will be the most authentic thing on screen. She is 2,000 years off.

@BlackKnight10k @IfindRetards found another one from the Netflix generation
the only racism is towards greeks
English
For gods sake. Have you ever even looked at a map? Greece is closer to Africa than it is to to France. It's closer to the middle east than it is to England. You dumbfucks just don't know shit. Just living in ignorance and racism.

@rikkestenpigen @oresundsbaron @btdk Tæller din stemme til folketingsvalget kun, hvis du offentligt viser, hvad du har stemt?
Eller er fakta vigtigere end behovet for at vise, hvem man er?
Dansk
@oresundsbaron @btdk Pragtfuld kommentar👌🏼
Hvis du kan, så undlad at tage det personligt og tænk over det en gang: Skulle vi tage journalistik seriøst, hvis det bygger på info fra en anonym SoMe-profil? Altså som også er anonym for journalisten, der viderebringer informationen?

@cycletips123 Why should he post about a rider crashing out in his winning post ?
Such a danish way of thinking.
English
The one guy has 9 pictures of his win and not a single mention of Jonas crashing on that exact stage.
The other guy….
Mr Blue(Pede B)🇩🇰@cycletips123
Actually not… Despite riding for Uae, Pogacar is much more likeable. Havent heard postrace interview from Pog yet, but I am sure he will mention Jonas as the first thing.
