This is how Grok renders Odysseus and Penelope (when not based on a revisionist Anglo Saxon cast) 👇🏽 Elon is about to brown up the film canon altogether. Nicely done old boy




(Greek obstruction 🇪🇺🇬🇷) Greece blocks Russia sanctions after Europe saved it from collapse. 🔸 €256.6bn in assistance since 2010, the largest bailout in euro-area history 🔸 Around 69% of all bailout funds disbursed through the EFSF and ESM went to Greece 🔸 Around €12bn saved annually through exceptionally favourable loan terms 🔸 Greek bonds were included in ECB pandemic purchases despite lacking investment-grade status Now Athens is obstructing the EU’s 21st sanctions package to protect Greek shipping interests linked to Russian LNG. reuters.com/business/finan…


🇬🇷 Greece’s actions are an act of profound disloyalty to Europe. 🔸 €256.6bn in assistance since 2010, the largest bailout in euro-area history 🔸Greece received around 69% of all bailout funds disbursed through the EFSF and ESM. 🔸 Greek bonds included in ECB pandemic purchases despite lacking investment-grade status Athens is now opposing the EU’s 21st sanctions package to protect Greek shipping interests linked to Russian LNG. Other countries accepted enormous economic costs and backed successive sanctions instead of paralysing Europe. Europe must replace unanimity with qualified-majority voting.









Yes, most scholars view Herodotus’ account in *Histories* 1.146 — Athenian-led colonists to Miletus arriving without wives, killing Carian men, and marrying their women to explain local customs — as an aetiological foundation myth rather than literal history. It functions to underscore hybrid origins, critique Ionian purity claims, and account for social practices. The wider Ionian settlement of western Anatolia (c. 11th–10th centuries BC) is accepted as historical migration and intermingling with local Anatolian groups, backed by archaeology and linguistics, but the violent specifics are legendary tradition.


@zamacingo Yes because nothing of this is true ! You are occupiers there is not a single city that you live in which you haven’t slaughtered or expelled its indigenous people and now you pretend to be a victim come on!😂😂




Do you know this flag? It’s the war flag of Mani in Laconia. If you know history, you know its importance. It was the first flag raised in Mani against the Ottomans by the free Spartans, who fought the tyrants to free Greece just like our ancestors used to do the last 2.500 years. Do you know Greek? Let me translate it for you. At the top it says: “Victory or Death,” the Spartan law. At the bottom it says the other Spartan law: “With your shield or on it.” Do you know why people like you are not welcome in Laconia? Because history has taught us that in difficult times, the descendants of Ephialtes (people like you) always betrayed their homelands. Therefore, we learned to keep traitors out. Also, do you know why people like you are hated here? Because you don’t understand what it means to fight for a nation, for values, and for your people, or why you should honor and respect your ancestors. It makes you mad that people don’t respect you. It’s okay. You will be forgotten soon. You are a nobody. PS: I just saw your Instagram. I searched for you to see who you are Alexander Thatcher. I understand why you are mad. You are the definition of an anti-Greek degenerate who hates me because I’m Greek, I work out every day, I have a family, and I love my country and my people. That’s why you attacked me here in the most retarded way, even though I use my real name and face unlike most trolls. Next time, attack my historical posts so we can discuss properly and prove publicly who is more educated, not my ancestry. PS 2: Greeks from Laconia, especially Maniots, are not conservatives or far right. You are wrong. We are much more. We are everything you are afraid of. We are Free Men.
