@turkishcy @EYakoby ex-yugoslavia and Syria are no close to what is coming for turkey
English
@turkishcy @EYakoby Our saints are with God (their clairvoyance is divine) and as God has allowed parasites to live has also allowed for the parasitic state of Turkey to live. But now that time is over.
English
Why doesn't anyone talk about the occupation of the Hagia Sophia?
English
@miostudio3 @EYakoby Or you could be the one who gets hit by a Gazap bomb and loses your entire population :D You know there's that option too, right?
English
@turkishcy @EYakoby Dynamics are way faster today. Nuclear mushrooms make all the difference. 1/3 of Turks (20 million) will perish, 1/3 will be saved (they will become Christians) and 1/3 will go east to meet their roots. If the saints say so who am I to speak against.
English
@miostudio3 @EYakoby Do you really think the dynamics of the 1400s and the year 2026 are the same? It's really problematic that there are people as stupid as you among Greeks.
English
@EYakoby Because it happened half a millenium ago... You dont have schools in the kibbutz?
English
@mercifulangel34 @EYakoby so what? Spain was muslim for 800 years. It got liberated though and Constantinople won't wait 800years, it will be liberated in a couple of years or less.

@AntigoneJournal "Yet for all the symbolic resonance of the fall of the New Rome 1453 was hardly a catastrophe for Latin Christendom in its consequences, at least to judge by the muted international reaction"
Wrong terminology leads to wrong hypothesis
It was Germanicolatin (NonRoman) Christendom
English
@AntigoneJournal "can we really say that the notionally Roman rump state of 1453 was the same empire as the Empire of Theodosius, or Justinian?"
well if the Roman state was good enough in Justinian's time then why bother with 468?
English
@AntigoneJournal + Nova Roma was symbolically enough the capital of the Christian Roman Empire (edict of Thessalonica by Theodosius).
x.com/retsinokinitoc… so the end of the Roman Empire is in 1453.
Φίλιππος@retsinokinitoc
No Roman Catholic catechumen learns that the bishop of Rome had never the See of the capital of the Christian Roman Empire. By 380 when Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire, Constantinople was already the capital of the empire for half a century.
English
When did the Roman Empire actually fall? In AD 476? Or in 410? Or a millennium later in 1453? Or, if you apply stricter criteria, did the (Western) Roman Empire actually fall on a completely different date in the 5th century? On why 468 *really* matters: antigonejournal.com/2024/09/when-d…

@noemonas If something that obvious cannot be acknowledged then there’s certainly some antiGreek ideology beneath academic correctness :) I m expecting conclusions “the Egyptian were so fond of Achaean ships and used to take Homer’s catalogs to their graves”
English
You have potentially made a huge erroneous assumption. It is not about the philological weight of the Catalogue vs other more "philologically superior" parts of the text which is relative. Why do you assume the choice was based on philology? Burial customs are all about maintaining IDENTITY.
It is about ethnicity and identity.
Greeks buried themselves holding the Catalogue of Ships so that there is ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT, that they were Greeks.
There is nothing more to it.
Several more mummies from Egypt from Al-Fayoum buried themselves with their Greek names inscribed in their tombs, their pictures attached yet some people claim they were not Greeks but Egyptians or Romans or mixed or anything but Greeks.
Others went even further and put the Catalogue of Ships because it catalogues all the Greeks and they did not wish to leave any doubt to whoever dug them up.

history is fascinating @RomeInTheEast

I’ve visited a few Greek Orthodox Churches recently to feed my Instagram series on London churches. All of them declare they are part of the ‘Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain.’ I am familiar with Great Britain, but where does the ‘Thyateira’ come from?
English
@SElenidis @noemonas just a note for the ignorant, the 1st text is from 150 BC and the 2nd text (same text, don't you think?) from 2026 AD
Koine Greek and modern Greek.
English
These "Indo-European" Pronunciation reconstructionists are using "Sanskrit" to define the Attic Greek, they claim Sanskrit survived orally while lacking a writing system and that their modern reconstructions of Sanskrit are not just awesome but awesome enough to define the Attic Greek too which survived not just orally but also in script, in literature, in continuous education, in law and in instruction by both secular and religious central authorities.
Don't get me wrong, Indo-European is a great field when it comes to archeology, super-families of languages, but not when it comes to pronunciation of anything ancient.
We have barely reconstructed ancient Egyptian with real Greek side by side to it while some IE people cliam to have reconstructed an unattested Proto language for which we have not a single marking.
Kāuśikás@parjanyudu
@APC_Trades See in India, for example, where multiple hyperstrict oral traditions have survived three–four millennials of invasions, diachonic evolution and lack of a writing system. Several Brāhmaṇa families decentralized into preserved different 'albums' of the same artist/composer.

@RomeInTheEast @realCarola2Hope Orthodox Christianity is His One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church as described in the Nicene Creed the latinogermanic geopolitics (that took over eventually the bishop of Rome)altered that Creed with the Filioque addition
Was pope JohnVIII a heretic that agreed with St Photius?
English
@realCarola2Hope Well, Orthodox Christianity can also make a claim to that. But yes, Catholics are obviously Christians too
English
Before denominations, there was the Catholic Church.
Like it or not, Catholics are the original Christians.
Pat@Pat72852006
@realCarola2Hope If you’re Catholic you’re not a Christian either. You’re in a cult.

Saint Christopher - Ο ΑΓΙΟC ΧΡΙCΤΟΦΟΡΟC
13th century fresco from the nave of the Church of Panagia tou Moutoulla, in the village of Moutoullas, in the Troodos mountains of Cyprus.
@ParousiaDay @OrthodoxEthos “Word” or even “Verbum” are not good translations of Logos. Christians can only benefit from the original terms. I only suggest the Divine Liturgy being available for some Sundays, not abandoning the languages of the faithful.
English
@ParousiaDay @OrthodoxEthos Symeon I just explained what Logos means in English. And in English I also explained why it should remain in Greek. Logos is just a good απόδοσις in English of the term Λόγος as Christ is for Χριστός. You are not suggesting that we should translate “Christ”?
So does mean that the Greeks are not to be present in Australia **as missionaries**, following in the footsteps of such great missionaries that Saint Nicholas of Japan, or Saint Innocent of Alaska or holy Father Kosmas of Grigoriou in the Congo?
They all worked tirelessly to translate the Divine Scriptures and Services into the local languages…

FAWKNER, AUSTRALIA — Abp. Makarios of Australia has reaffirmed the central role of the Greek language in Orthodox worship, warning that abandoning it would endanger the Church’s identity within the Greek diaspora. Speaking at the conclusion of the Vespers of the Descent from the Cross on Holy Friday at the Church of St. Nektarios in Fawkner, he stressed that liturgical Greek remains essential to preserving both spiritual and cultural continuity.
