Greeks need to realize its not what happened BC, its what's happening AD.
Kudos(and I mean it from the depths) to the real Byzantine Greeks who preserved their culture and identity for an entire 400 years!! under Anatolian gypsy rule.
But Constantinople fell in 1453 to the savage Anatolian Islamic trash, independence was achieved through the a war from 1821-1830.
Modern 'Greece' did not exist until 1830.
What is happening NOW is what matters! You just simply can't grab ancient Greek glory and add it on to Modern Greece.
It just doesn't correlate.
