i find it bewildering that the greeks, know as the byzantines are known for no name, but a date: 1453 (the sacking of Constantinople), while greeks per se, are known for the philosophers and the mythology prior... thus the timelessness of the latter... and the insignificance of the former; the latter have been simply bleached, a milder ethnic cleansing to erase their pre-history with a non-history that history is said to have taken place, even though it has; one greek i met at university said the pride of greece was Constantinople rather than Athens... how unified Greece and Turkey now seem when having to ***** the Syrians and wonder why the plagiarism of Trojans (that's Rome) seems to be caught unaware to what further ascription of furthered plagiarism is necessary to keep a vitality.
