When fairytales like…

“300 Greek superheroes killed a million Persians!”

“Baby Hercules squeezed the life out of two snakes in his crib!”

“Achilles could only be killed by wounding his heel!”

“The sirens lured and condemned men to stay on the island forever!”


…and dozens of other stupid fantasies are echoing in Greek children’s minds all day what kind of grownups do you think they’ll end up as?

Pretty fucked in the head I’d say as they have no idea where the fairytales end and reality begins! :roll:

Young children are adversely affected by such stories so Greece needs to remove ALL this rubbish from her primary and secondary school curriculums and make it a university-only subject for mature individuals who understand fact from fiction and have voluntarily chosen to learn mythology for what it is.

One 4th Century Greek, Pytheas, went to Britain in about 325BC and you think he'd been to the moon, when in fact the Phoneicians had probably been coming to Britain since aboout 1000BC or earlier, for Tin and possibly for copper. Indeed Visitors from the Med had probably been coming to Britain since 1550BC or so, according to Burial evidence near Stone Henge so poor old Pytheas was a bit of Ioannis-come-lately.

What's there to discover if the area was already inhabited? :?

You are the only making up fairytales, just so that you can shoot them down again. Please see someone about that schizophrenic tendency.

And these Cypriots were the same group of people that inhabited Greece. And it wasn't called Cyprus till the Greeks coined the name.
