@YorubaCowboy @Slootoot @BradyYourTutor_ I prefer to believe the story like many that they held the pass for 3 days only to be defeated because of Ephialtes betrayal. Lose the battle but win the war. We can go into Salamis next but I won't.

@Slootoot @enteraccountid @BradyYourTutor_ Thermopylae was a lost battle, they didn't overcome the odds everyone on the Greek side died and there's not really any substantial evidence that it was necessary either beyond morale, Platea and Marathon broke the invasion Thermopylae got famous bc it's great propaganda

Wow He Jumps High

@YorubaCowboy @BradyYourTutor_ Yes we all know this, the Thespian, Theban contingents etc etc. Focussing on the 'not only 300' detracts from its importance. The battle at Thermopylae is about its strategic necessity and overcoming almost impossible odds.

@enteraccountid @BradyYourTutor_ incorrectly, there were neither 300 soldiers, nor were they all Spartans

@Illyrianzz @NS_Vamp05 @HellenicEchoes weird way to admit you obsessively stalk this guy

@NS_Vamp05 @HellenicEchoes He’s always had this complexion though, whenever he posts his hand it’s the same colour

Once again the Germans were right about Cabbage.

@RodneyEcho @fandompulse It was my understanding that those of the Afri tribe of Carthage no longer exist. Apologies, keep them alive.

@TheOMStore @fandompulse Yeah I represent the Africa tribe living in my new york city penthouse

Greek City Times published an open letter to Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey this week. It reads in part: "We did not vanish. Greek people did not disappear after the age of myth. Greek culture was not frozen in classical marble. We are still here. For more than 3,000 continuous years, Greek identity has persisted." The addendum: "Given Hollywood's insistence for minority representation, authenticity and diversity — where are the Greeks, or the Greek Americans in this Greek story?" The film shot in Greece, with Greek funding, across Greek locations. Not one cast member is Greek. Hollywood required diversity for every production except this one.

@RodneyEcho @fandompulse Yeh no Greeks in Australia? Wait till you find out where the largest population of Greeks after Athens and Thessaloniki reside.

@fandompulse It’s not even in Greece 😂😂😂

@HellenicEchoes So you are saying Greeks have the N-pass

Greek culture is under attack from all sides and we need to defend it by educating them. The "black" skin colour he is talking about is in many cases a tan. Men were always depicted with a tan in Ancient Greek art as their work and war outside would have them exposed to the sun a lot.

@Rainmaker1973 No never did

In case you ever thought they had smooth skin

Neha in the clip is Neha Madhok, an anti-racism activist and Labor-Greens swing voter. Her family migrated from India to Sydney in 1991 when she was young. This is from a recent SBS Insight episode on One Nation's rise, where she shared her childhood memory of Pauline Hanson's 1996 "swamped by Asians" speech and the fear it caused in her family.

Neha sounds like she's talking crap for one thing but aside from that she doesn't seem to comprehend that the Australian people have every right decide who comes to their country. We didn't agree to mass migration and will elect whoever we think will best enact our wishes. If that's Pauline Hanson, well suck it up.

@sergioa94679493 Whats your point here. This was already taught in high school.

Australia appeared in old maps before 1606 Australian history is fake and ghey

@MadsMelbourne Wtaf

Curious why it is that the Chinese symbol 送 appears on every page of the governments Budget Appropriation Bill currently before parliament?! 送 translation to English means ‘to deliver’ or ‘to give’

@Zencapital2 @SydneyLWatson @Malic_X Who are YOU to comment on Greeks? Have you been to Greece in the winter? They are not all sun-kissed.

@SydneyLWatson @Malic_X Greeks are olive to brown skin. The men and most women look like Super Mario with a heavy tan.

This Odyssey thing has pissed me off so much. And I'm not even Greek. We've seen this same thing play out so many times over the years - remember everyone insisting Cleopatra was black, or that Vikings had a "diverse" society? I'm sick to death of leftists trying so hard to destroy European cultures. White populations are entitled to our own unique stories, histories, mythologies that DO NOT INCLUDE non-whites. And when you make this point and say, "hey, it's shitty to erase white people from their own history", leftists will scream at you that mythology isn't even real, so why do we care? Well, you guys race-swap our historical figures, too - like casting Anne Boleyn as a black woman, trying to insist Queen Charlotte was black, adding black people to Viking stories, telling us constantly how multicultural ancient Rome and Greece were. But, the mythology thing, to me, is the worst of all. Because it means you think you're entitled to fuck with the fabric of European cultures. These narratives often tell a people who they are, where they came from, and what they value. Some of these mythologies are so impactful and enduring that they have shaped Western art, literature, philosophy, law, identity. And it's why they continue to be useful today in helping to explain who our ancestors were and what mattered to them. You don't just get to erase that bc you have diversity quotas???? It is disgusting that dismantling the cultural heritage of white people is so socially accepted. But, it has gone far enough. And it needs to stop.

@EndWokeness @RoadknightThe Greeks have the N -pass. Interesting

Hostin: "If you think Helen of Troy cannot be black, you don't know history" She says Greek culture is from Africans

@UniversalTrendX @elonmusk @ericmetaxas I don't believe he's ever cast a Greek in any of his films. Antihellenism is on the rise it seems.

@elonmusk @ericmetaxas criticism is fair but saying Nolan has total contempt for Greek people feels exaggerated without clear evidence. Creative choices in films can be debated but that doesn’t automatically mean disrespect toward an entire nation or culture.

The Odyssey is one of the greatest works of literature in history. As a lover of Western Civilization -- and as the proud son of a Greek immigrant -- I denounce Nolan's sacrilege in perverting this great epic with DEI & trans lunacy. Shame on him & shame on Hollywood.

@muscari748 @AncientHistorry This is not part of the Iliad. Troilus fought in battle and although youthful was a commander. The myths you write are much later fill-in texts not attributed to Homer.

@AncientHistorry Далее он еще и убил другого сына Аполлона — Троила, ребёнка кстати, но ладно бы просто убил, по некоторым источникам он собирался его изнасиловать(или сделал это в процессе) и убил за отказ, а затем расчленил.

Everyone's fighting about Achilles again. Whatever side you're on, most of the takes are flattening him into a meme. Let me remind you who he actually was. Achilles was raised by Chiron, the wisest of the centaurs, who taught him medicine, music, and philosophy alongside war. He could heal wounds and play the lyre. He was never just a killer. His mother, the sea goddess Thetis, knew the prophecy. He could live a long, peaceful life at home in obscurity, or die young at Troy and be remembered forever. He chose Troy. Knowing. When his best friend Patroclus was killed wearing his armor, Achilles' grief broke him. He tore his face. He poured ashes on his head. He refused to eat. Homer gives him the most devastating mourning scene in Western literature, and then Thetis appears and confirms it: if you go back to kill Hector, you will die soon after. He went back anyway. But here's the scene people forget, the one classicists call the moral heart of the Iliad. After killing Hector and dragging his body around the walls of Troy, Achilles is visited at midnight, alone in his tent, by Hector's elderly father, King Priam. Priam, the father of the man Achilles killed, kneels and kisses "the terrible, man-slaying hands that had killed so many of his sons." And Achilles weeps. They weep together. He lifts the old king up, feeds him, gives him a bed for the night, and returns Hector's body for burial with full honors. He even pauses the war so the Trojans can mourn. That's how the Iliad ends. Not a duel. Not a sack. An act of mercy between two grieving men. This is why, six centuries later, Alexander the Great sailed to Troy, anointed himself with oil, ran a footrace around Achilles' tomb, and slept every night with a dagger and a copy of the Iliad under his pillow. This is why the Greek word for hero, hērōs, was practically synonymous with his name. He chose to die for his friend. He wept with his enemy's father. He's been a hero for 2,700 years for a reason.

@classicg3n3tics @RolloRouen You're discounting the minoan-mycenean connection

@RolloRouen Here

Greeks should spend less time proving that modern Greeks are related to Ancient Greeks, and more time asking why people wonder to begin with.

@nonregemesse Turkish identity is a 20th century construct
