Damn the Turks to hell.

Being Sicilian I have had to listen to Italians saying we were more Greek than Italian, fact of the matter is we faught off an invasion from the Athenians, with the help of a single Spartan, and Promethius, not bad for a backwards little island who want nothing to do with any foregn power, and have never invaded, or started a war with anyone, yet every conqueror in history has used our island for an invasion point, of a fallback position. Sorry no love for the greeks lost here.
