Fine. Isn't it preferable to teach them about fighting for justice than to expect free gifts from a flying fatman? :)

(Besides, the Battle of Thermopylae was not a myth even if we have no fast and hard record of the actual number of Persians. Please resist this old habit of mixing up facts with myths.)

Not any more than Cyprus being known as Aphroditia and you being Aphroditian! :? :lol:

Very funny. Aphrodite was synonymous with Cyprus. For example, please see Sappho's poems.

We've heard it all from you before. As soon as someone writes the English word for "Greek", your response is that no such term existed. Understandable since English is your first language! According to your logic, no "Cypriots" existed until the British told us they did.

Goodnight.

I cringed all the way through this video presentation, and I can't believe that even the Greek Wannabes watched this too without cringing.

I knew things were bad in Greece, but after watching this presentation, I didn't realise it was even worse as the buffoon giving the presentation was representing the Greek "intelligencia" and secondly was incapable of actually presenting in Greek.
