It's probably in places like Italy, Corfu and other Ionian Islands, Crete and other Aegean Islands as well as Cyprus where you will find the true link bank to Ancient Greece.
Only in those isolated pockets. Those that came from the east or lived under Ottoman Rule for 400 years have bought something else which is why Greece is the way it is.
Somewhere along the line, this cradle of western civilization got bastardised.
As for Alexander The Great. The so called "Divide and Rule" strategy we talk about on this forum when we accuse Britain, was a strategy that was reportedly perfected by him. Which potentially makes it a Hellenic Military Invention.
SS Lazio?
Società Sportiva Lazio from the Italian Seria A - only one of the best Football teams in the world. It also bears the National Emblem of Greece.

I thought this was the national emblem of Greece
The supporters of Lazio claim some connection or affiliation to Greece hence the blue and white colours of the team which they say represents Greece itself.
Lazio Fans are renowned for their Nationalism to Italy and Greece and are actually quite fanatical, often bringing out Fascistic symbols and swastikas as well. Often, there are many Greek Flags as well. It's not uncommon to see RoC Flags at their games either, as well as other Italian and Greek Nationalistic Symbols.

So you are saying that Lazio has some Greek supporters, among many other groups such as Nazi wannabe fascists.Their colours may have been Greek inspired, but saying their emblem is the same as that of the Greek state is an overstatement.
I am saying that the Italian Club Lazio seems to identify with some kind of connection to Greece. It is however an Italian Club. I am not sure why it identifies with Greece but it might be due to some perceived historical connection.
It's also known at times to have a hardcore cell of supporters who are "fascist wannabes" if you like.
The Greek symbolism is what Lazio actually claim on their official website. They actually claim Greek National Emblems as some kind of connection to Greece. I am not sure why, but they just do. They also have various supporter groups which are actually called Lazio Hellas. The supporters there are not actually Greek but for some reason they identify with Greece.
One time, when Apoel were playing Lazio, the Italian supporters were unfurling Cypriot Flags, flying Apoel Ultra flags next to theirs as if they were playing a sister club. It was quite interesting.
There is also another pro club in Italy called Hellas Verona.
It just seems that there are thousands of not a million or so Italians who actually identify themselves as being of Greek Heritage and they are well organized in Italy's professional Football Leagues.
I am not saying Lazio is Greek because of the blue and white strip because if that is the case you could say Everton is Greek because they have a blue and white strip. The club Lazio actually state that their strip symbolizes the National Colours of Greece and they are fanatical about it too because sometimes there are more Greek Flags than Italian and sometimes they have Grivas Banners etc when they play Apoel.
Who is your enemy ? I hope your not referring to tc s as your enemy ? We don't look upon you as our enemies but our future partners just as we were before all the troubles but in fact we are people who live on a small island that need to find a alternative to this seperation of Cypriots. Who is this imaginary enemy that you have ? Do you think Turkey even gives you that amount of energy to hatred . I don't think so . Most Turks in Turkey 99.99 % don't care about Cyprus . So you are creating a imaginary enemy .
Nice to hear that they are an imaginary enemy. So they can take their imaginary army and the thousands of equally imaginary settlers off our properties and go back to their dreamland!
Not can do? I thought so. Not so imaginary after all.
