@AtreiLeonidas In the movie? I prefer an actor who's far closer genetically and phenotypically to Greeks than one that looks nothing alike. If you have a solution to achieve an all Greek cast please provide it, I'm open to seeing what it is.

@Noticing_Evil It's exceptionally vivid for a reason. You keep arguing FOR your replacement. You just have a preference for the person who replaces you.

Afrocentrists Eurocentrists. Two sad wings of the same sick bird, trying to lay its egg in someone else’s nest. Greek culture: the nest. If they’re so similar, why are they always fighting?

@AtreiLeonidas I'm not, these are the genetic distances, also please try to discuss like an adult. The pron imagery is unnecessary.

@Noticing_Evil You're confusing genetics with phenotype. I could be incredibly pedantic and point out the differences. You are still refusing to see the point, choosing instead to defend your violators provided they're not two shades darker than you. The dick in your ass is immaterial.

@AtreiLeonidas What is the difference between this Greek and Michael Fassbender? Are they closer genetically than a black man? You can't have an all Greek cast in a Hollywood movie, wish it was possible but it's not.

@Noticing_Evil I don't disagree that they'd rather eat their own shit than cast us in our own stories. That's why ANY other casting is pants and I'm not interested in qualifying the degree to which it violates me. Hence the pushback against: "Meh...I'll settle for the 5inch."

@AtreiLeonidas Yes that's the point, realistically casting a Hollywood movie with Greek actors alone is not happening for many different reasons. Do you disagree?

@Noticing_Evil Better as to what? Whom? Are you giving me a choice between whether I want a 5inch dick in my ass or a 10inch dick in my ass? The entire point is not to have one in my ass at all.

@OneArmedBoh They were wrong.

They were right.

@dardanidae1 @theHellen_ @BernhardCz If we wanted we could claim the rights, the Egyptians sued Netflix for making Cleopatra black, a Greek queen. You virtue signal at the expense of someone else's cultural heritage.

@theHellen_ @BernhardCz You do not own the Epics.

Reducing the story of Troy to mere “fiction” is a superficial view. Archaeological evidence has shown that Troy was a real city, and it is highly likely that a historical conflict took place there. Over time, this historical core was transmitted through oral tradition and eventually transformed into epic poetry. But even if we assume, for the sake of argument, that the story is entirely fictional, it still does not exist in a vacuum. It is deeply rooted in Ancient Greek culture, religion, values, and character archetypes. In this sense, it is not just a story—it is an expression of a civilization. In art, fiction is often an imitation of reality; yet this imitation is never independent of its source. On the contrary, it preserves and reflects the truth it imitates. The Trojan narrative, therefore, embodies the intellectual and cultural reality of Ancient Greece. For this reason, dismissing such works as “just fiction” and altering their fundamental elements severs them from the cultural context to which they belong. In cinema, remaining faithful to the source material is not merely a matter of accuracy, but of integrity. Otherwise, the result is not simply an adaptation—it becomes a distortion. Because what is at stake here is not merely a story, but a cultural heritage that forms one of the foundations of Western civilization.

@PolishLiberty @bulgarkhan Ah yes, the Albanian-Bosnian-Thracian Turk.

@user7741366 @HellenicEchoes Όλοι μας κάνουμε λάθη που και που, δε σημαίνει κάτι απαραίτητα. Στο κινητό υπάρχει και η περίπτωση μια λέξη να αλλάξει αυτόματα χωρίς να το καταλάβεις.

@HellenicEchoes Είσαι σίγουρος; Αυτό είναι μόνο ένα από τα παραδείγματα.

Can some Greek fellow explain to me, how is it possible that this guy reads the Odyssey in ancient Greek but his modern Greek is full of mistakes & has a random word order & wrong prepositions? I know some of you follow him.

@InsaneCope I agree, certain nordicists seek to appropriate our history the same way certain afrocentrists do with european history in general.

@TroyTrellman @theHellen_ The 300 movie was also a joke, even as a kid watching it I felt like it ridiculed the Spartans as well with the way they matched to battle half naked, let alone the Persians.

@theHellen_ Helen of Troy is described as λευκώλενος, white-armed in English. These people are imbeciles. A black portraying Helen would be like Ben Kingsley portraying an Zulu king. Ridiculous. But this started with 300 where a black portrayed a Persian. Equally absurd.

I’m convinced that Blacks are an unintelligent people; from now on, I’ll take being called a racist as a compliment.

🚨🇬🇷🇹🇷 BREAKING: Greece warns it is ready to respond firmly to Turkish aggression, per Defence Minister Nikos Dendias.

The Athena Promachos was a massive Ancient Greek statue on the Acropolis, a work of the famous Phidias. In the 5th century it was sent to Constantinople to adorn the Forum of Constantine. The Athena Promachos stood there until superstitious locals destroyed it in 1203AD! Niketas Choniates, a contemporary source, records this sad episode: “The wine-bibbing portion of the vulgar masses smashed the statue of Athena that stood on a pedestal in the Forum of Constantine, for it appeared to the foolish rabble that she was beckoning on the Western armies. She rose to a standing height of thirty feet and wore a garment made of bronze, as was the entire figure. The robe reached down to her feet and fell into folds in many places so that no part of the body which Nature has ordained to be clothed should be exposed. A military girdle tightly cinctured her waist. Covering her prominent breasts and shoulders was an upper garment of goatskin embellished with the Gorgon's head [the aegis). Her long bare neck was an irresistible delight to behold. The bronze was so transformed by its convincing portrayal of the goddess in all her parts that her lips gave the appearance that, should one stop to listen, one would hear a gentle voice. The veins were represented dilated as though fluid were flowing through their twisted ways to wherever needed throughout the whole body, which, though lifeless, appeared to partake of the full bloom of life. And the eyes were filled with deep yearning. On her head was set a helmet with horsehair crest, and terribly did it nod from above. Her braided hair tied in the back was a feast for the eyes, while the locks, falling loosely over the forehead, set off the braided tresses. Her left hand tucked up the folds of her dress while she pointed her right hand toward the south; her head was also gently turned southward, and her eyes also gazed in the same direction. Whence they who were wholly ignorant of the orientation of the points of the compass contended that the statue was looking toward the west and with her hand was beckoning the Western armies, thus erring in their judgment and misapprehending what they beheld.” “As the result of such misconceptions, they shattered the statue of Athena, or, rather, guilty of ever-worsening conduct and taking up arms against themselves, they discarded the patroness of manliness and wisdom even though she was but a symbol of these.” Though most statues were preserved in Constantinople until destruction by the Crusaders who melted them for monetary gain in 1204, this one was destroyed by the local Romans. Choniates shows his disappointment with his compatriots in his retelling of it.

Η Ελλάδα πρέπει να μηνύσει τον Christopher Nolan όπως έκανε η Αίγυπτος στο Netflix.

Croats were a part of the Austro-Hungary. Serbs were the ones fighting Ottomans and Tattoing children or cutting their fingers or ears off so the turks don't take them away. Ottomans imposed blood taxes. Taking young Serbs to serve as their soldiers.Bosniak Muslims are remainants

@Kain_Deacon @AtillaEng We should share Anatolia in the name of friendship.

@AtillaEng I don’t know Atilla. I think your shores are too close to the Greek islands mate. I believe its fair to divide these shores. Shall we say 50-50? Lets call this deal “The Greek Homeland”.

It doesn't make any sense, but the mainland you are referring is Anatolia, not Greece. When I look from a Greek Island, I can see the Turkish shore. How is your view of your islands from Greece?

@AtillaEng Is that jewish logic and why they keep taking Palestinian homes?

@rabatheritage @UpMyKilt_ @TheNewTrueBlue @CameronCorduroy I prefer to use "most" for brown eyes since apparently we have ~15 blue or green eyes, ~ 30 hazel and ~55% brown. But for hair color you could use the phrase "vast majority", apparently 4% are blond, I'm not sure about red hair.

very Ancient Greek looking man right here, yes indeed
