@Ayran_Enjoyer Makes you wonder heh? Food for thought

The West likes to romanticize and idolize Alexander the “Great” because he was of western origin. If he were Turkish or from another eastern civilization, the same West would focus far more on the massacres, destruction, and atrocities committed during his conquests. Here are some instances where Alexander wasn't so "Great": • The Sack of Thebes (335 BCE) — over 6,000 killed, around 30,000 sold into slavery, one of the most important Greek cities erased from the map as collective punishment. • The Siege of Tyre (332 BCE) — roughly 8,000 civilians massacred after the city fell, 2,000 crucified publicly along the coast, tens of thousands enslaved. • The Sack of Gaza (332 BCE) — adult male population exterminated, women and children enslaved. Governor Batis was tied to a chariot and dragged to death around the city walls. • Burning of Persepolis (330 BCE) — allowed mass looting and destruction of the ceremonial capital of Persia before burning large parts of the city to the ground. • Scorched-earth campaigns in Bactria and Sogdiana — villages destroyed, crops burned, populations wiped out to suppress guerrilla resistance. • Branchidae Massacre — entire community slaughtered, including women and children, for the alleged “sins” of their ancestors generations earlier. • Mallian Campaign in India — after Alexander was wounded, Macedonian troops reportedly massacred entire populations in revenge, including civilians. • Mass enslavement across Asia — tens of thousands of civilians from conquered cities sold into slavery as war booty. • Execution of Cleitus the Black — murdered one of his closest companions in a drunken rage, despite Cleitus having once saved his life. • Torture and execution of Philotas, assassination of Parmenion — removed senior commanders through executions and political killings out of paranoia. • Callisthenes execution — Aristotle’s nephew imprisoned and killed after criticizing Alexander’s attempts to be treated like a god. • Gedrosian Desert march — led his own army through a deadly desert campaign that caused catastrophic losses among soldiers and civilians alike.

@aravosis No she wasn't beautiful because she was Greek, but because she was Greece.

If we’re going to play this game… Helen of Troy wasn’t beautiful because she was white. She was beautiful because she was Greek. Elon’s cultural appropriation of Helen on behalf of all white people is… interesting.

@Placebo_0 What you guys need is a border with Israel.

Sevgili komşular, eğer hepimiz eski zamanları ve toprakları hayal etmeye başlarsak, bölgede kaos çıkacak. Ve Yunanistan harita çizip eski Yunan topraklarını göstererek anlaşmazlık çıkarabilir! Neden sebepsiz yere bu kadar gerginlik yaratıyorsunuz?

@BlazarCoon Νόμος

Όσο περισσότερο καθυστερούν τις εξηγήσεις για την βρομιά που αναπνέει ο πληθυσμός της Αττικής, τόσο πιο χροντρή η μαλακία που έχουν κάνει.

@priest_099 Kilo from Greek Χίλια meaning thousand

can I ask a dumb question… what’s the K for “thousand” stand for

Imo if Nolan wanted to flip the script in Odyssey he would give us the Cretan lie plot

@TheKanehB @RealDutchsinse Usually because a better tech exists

@RealDutchsinse A friend was just telling me that in 1990 her family had a phone at the end of the road that just bounced signal down the canyon and worked reliability Or Nextel phones? Why is that tech no longer available?

How did pagers have service absolutely everywhere before cell towers? There were no dead zones w the beeper and no towers. What happened to that tech?

@filopsek @Hayaled58 @NDEMRA Turks should just be honest and say that they are the chosen people and that those islands were promised to them by Allah.

Yunanlı soruyor. Türkler Sevilla haritasını neden kabul etmiyor? Sevilla Üniversitesinde bir prof. çıkmış Yunanistan'ı memnun edecek (!) bir harita çizmiş Yunanlılar da akıl , hukuk , bilim dışı bu haritayı gerçekmiş gibi Türklere dayatıyor. Bu kadar cehalet ancak eğitim ile olur

@IMAO_ well if culture is movies... we offered the world weird greek cinema

I really don't know much about the Greeks. My understanding is that they invented democracy, but then the Romans conquered and stole all their gods and mythology. The Greeks then didn't contribute anything more to culture until the 2002 movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

@nikosarantakos Να ξυπνάς νωρίτερα ντε και να ζυμώνεις

Καλησπερίτιδα Η μανία να λέμε "καλησπέρα" με τον ήλιο ντάλα μεσημέρι, επειδή έχει περάσει η δωδεκάτη ώρα, έχει προχωρήσει κι άλλο. Προ ολίγου, στις 11.03, πήρα μέιλ από μεγάλη εταιρεία, που ξεκινούσε: Καλησπέρα... Να την καταργήσουμε εντελώς την καλημέρα, αν είναι έτσι.

@Th_Angelopoulos Oinops could well be alcohol, blue tinted liquid. Pure blue color is generally not easily found in nature anyways, to the point blue inks and dyes are modern invention. Greeks used language to describe reality, didnt use it to shape it.

No, the ancient Greeks really did categorise and perceive colours differently from us. It was not merely a matter of “describing them differently”. Homer uses χλωρός (chloros), the word that later gives us “green”, for fresh honey, young wood, pale faces sick with fear, and even blood in certain contexts. The same word covers a range of fresh, bright, or living qualities that do not map neatly onto our modern colour boundaries. They had no dedicated word for blue. Homer famously calls the sea οἶνοψ (oinops) aka wine-dark or wine-faced. This description puzzled translators and later readers precisely because it does not match to our fixed colour spectrum. Our language and our culture shapes what our mind notices, understands, and names.

@Nyrros λοκάλια

Ας ρωτήσει κάποιος τον Δένδια, τι ακριβώς κάνει; Εθνοφυλακή (μάλλον) κυκλοφορεί στον ΒΟΑΚ έξω απο τα Χανιά. Με οπλισμένους πάνω στην καρότσα Να σημαδεύουν (wtf ρε γρόθοι) οχήματα περαστικών και τουριστών. Με όχημα του στρατού Με καλυμμένες πινακίδες. Χώρα πάμε και όπου βγεί

@CricketSurfing @tonyannett like what we have now?

@tonyannett Dude. If they had been allowed to continue their reckless spending, they would have experienced hyperinflation.

Greece went through a Great Depression to protect French and German banks.

@functi0nZer0 @CHOPPAtheSHARK if the second was "what do you want?" you met the inquisitor

@CHOPPAtheSHARK The first one was “Who are you?”

Had my first session yesterday, and am somewhat disappointed that he read me like a book within an hour “Good luck working me out in all my complication and flux!” *lets me talk unprompted, thinks and then asks two questions that stun me into silence* Ah! Well, nevertheless

@Atlantis_Scout @noemonas My take is that Homer intentionally strips the history from the story and shrouds it in myth in order to abstract it and bring focus to his lessons.

@noemonas I doubt. The abstract of the book you mentioned (Astronomy and Constellations in the Iliad and Odyssey) says that the constellations did not change. So, where are the Cyclops, Laistrygones, Circe, Skylla, etc. in the sky? They are not there.
