So, did not the Spartans throw kids into Caeada? Did not Alexander the Nice minimize the Gordian Tie? Are you additionally going to inform us that not all Byzantines worshiped their final emperor? Wasn’t Hagia Sophia designed by a bee? Did not the Secret Faculty ever exist both? Not even the dance of Zalongos? Neither is the disunity of the Greeks answerable for the civil wars of the Revolution? Did English loans assist the Revolution in spite of everything? Did not Metaxas create the IKA? Was Kazantzakis by no means excommunicated? Wasn’t Belogiannis’ carnation pink? Wasn’t the Evros sabotage finished with sugar within the tank tanks? Actually, did not even Churchill say that “heroes battle like Greeks”? Did not even Theodorakis invite us to decide on “Karamanlis or tanks”? Did not Ritsos write concerning the tanks “dancing within the streets of Prague”? Neither Andreas Papandreou was the primary to say that “Greece belongs to the Greeks” nor did he open and shut the “time closet of Historical past”? In a short time, you’ll inform us that Kapodistrias did not trick us into studying to eat potatoes, that Einstein did not steal the idea of relativity from Karatheodoris, and that we did not even lose the prospect for People to talk Greek for one vote. However why do you hate our myths a lot?
