Sorry, but if your religion allows women to be raped and sold in slave markets, maybe it’s time to look at yourself in the mirror and realize your religion is not a religion of peace. It’s pure evil!
Athanasios Psilopoulos, a Greek marble mason who has been working on the restoration of the Parthenon since 1995, talked about what he discovered:
"When we took down the last column from the pronaos (the porch at the front of the temple), we found an ancient wooden dowel that had been there for 2.500 years. The fact that it hadn’t rotted away means that not even air was getting in. They took it and immediately put it in a vacuum chamber so it wouldn’t deteriorate. This is astonishing, two pieces of marble sealed so airtight that no air could enter. It’s incredible that you can join two marbles together and, after 2.500 years, find the wood inside still perfectly intact, and discover what was inside. I was stunned when I saw it. I said to myself, “We are nothing.” That’s what I said."
I hope that one day we get to see the Parthenon fully restored and complete, exactly as it was 2,500 years ago, with its original colors and the mythological representations of the ancient Greeks on the pediments.
To Japan with love.

We honor Vasos Mavrovouniotis (1790–1847), a hero of the 1821 Greek War of Independence, who in 1826 arrived in Beirut, connected to his concern for the Romioi of Antioch and Jerusalem in the Levant.
May his memory be eternal

Lesley Keen’s 1984 animated short Orpheus and Eurydice reimagines the Greek myth through visuals inspired by ancient red-figure vase art. Following Orpheus’ journey into the underworld, the acclaimed film earned a Palme d’Or nomination at Cannes in 1984.

@jk_rowling No society can function that way. This is why murderers, perverts, scammers are sent to prison. This is why we have laws, a justice system, … and elections.
Ce beau portrait de terre cuite - figurant un soldat grec coiffé d’un casque attique aux paragnathides marquées du foudre de Zeus - fur découvert sur le site de l’antique Nisa, capitale de l’Empire Parthe.
