I don't have to prove anything to you or anyone else who is sitting comfortably in their ignorance, amidst the glories brought to them by the civilising products of Greece. In that way, the whole world is a by-product of Hellenism ... it's just that some have

Of course you don't have anything to prove, because you know I am right and can't disprove anything I have to say!

This bit is the only correct thing you have said!
Modern Greece, as it so happens, is so far from this fountain. In fact, most countries have actually added and embellished the "Pillars of Western civilisation" that Ancient Greece started, whilst Greece has actually regressed and gone backwards and offered nothing more that is of value and is constructive!

But, the guidelines to the Hellenic Doctrines are well guarded and you must prove yourself capable of unlocking their secrets to fulfillment and enlightenment. Illumination is a heavy cross to carry ....
GR! has passed the first stage: deconstruction of all he held dear; and has only unlocked the first box to the teachings of our Academy forefathers of the Temples to Pallas Athene ... He obtained the secret of fire and now has to learn to control its passage to others .... you have been handed the beacon to soon perhaps and your fingers are scalding.
Modern day Greece has lost touch with the Doctrines of Hellenism. In fact, modern day "Greeks" have
betrayed and
destroyed Hellenism, so how stupid can you get....
Perhaps Pallas Athena can once again give much needed
wisdom to modern day "Greeks", but I think Zeus ate Metis and hence wisdom is in very limited supply...
Now back to the Barbarian cult of Christianity! This Barbarian cult
exterminated Hellenism whilst it was still alive, and Hellenes allowed this Barbarian cult to do it. It then
vilified its dead and much mourned (:() victim. For a thousand years, "Hellene" in Byzantium meant "pagan" and Hellenism was a term of
abuse meaning "paganism", "heathen enormity" and in the 14th century, when Europe descended even further into the
dark ages as the Christian Byzantine Empire declined under the monstrosity of Ottoman Islam, the Greeks realised where they came from and restored the true meaning of Hellenism, but by that time, it was too late, as these so called "Greeks" had already pushed the self destruct button. Modern Greece has never recovered, and has now
regressed so far away from the fountain of Hellenism you mention....
So as you can see, Byzantium was destructive to the core, and the Ottomans just finished those poor Hellenes off!
I must be off to get some valuable sleep. But I will be back to continue this interesting discussion....
Good night....

Grow Up!
You are
delusional and a barbarian who helped kill Hellenism and Cypriotism my friend, and I can't forgive you for that!
