AN INTRODUCTION TO THE HELLENIC CULTURE

“A slave is he who can not speak his thoughts”
Euripides

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE HELLENIC CULTURE

The world History has taught us all that old civilizations were not destroyed from an external foe, but from the ignorance, apathy, and greediness of the people, when they became satiated and complacent.

With this given, I appeal to all Greeks, inside and outside of Greece, to read carefully my INTRODUCTION below and to unite for a GRAND
Attempt to preserve and perpetuate our HELLENIC civilization and History.

EXPRESSING MY PERSONAL FEELINGS

“It is my intent to speak and express a deeply rooted feeling that I’ve carried all my life, and that is to loudly proclaim to the entire world my immense respect and pride for my Hellenic heritage.

The immortal and unique History created by the Greek philosophers, architects, mathematicians, legislators, warriors, generals with their pioneer, avant-gardist and unprecedented genius, stands as a world Beacon, just like the Olympic flame, that lives on……….

THERE is where DEMOCRACY WAS FOUNDED!!!!!
THERE is where Olympic games were created!!!!!

THE ancient Greece gave us Socrates, Demosthenes, Hippocrates, Pythagoras, Solon, Archimedes, Phidias, Asklipios, Plato, Aristotle, and the list is very long…. Homer, Alexander the Great!!!

It is the immortal culture that became the very cradle of our Western civilization.
No born soul will contradict that!!!!!
It is that civilization that we intend to preserve, protect and help stay alive for all Peoples and for the future generations.
