In war i agree with spartan 300
in politics i belive that pisitratus was the greatest because if it wasnt for him athens would have remained the small village it was before he took over
in myth i would have to say odysseus"He who knows, does not speak, He who speaks, does not know"- Lao-Tzu

Pericles . the perfect synthesis of political and military leadership .
For 30 years under Pericles , Athens was the greatest city in the Mediteranean . After his death , everything went to hell . Everything may have anyway , but since he died he gets the benefit of the doubt .

The man who invented gyros?
Sorry, I'm aware of the great cultural history of the greeks but the current living Greeks are in my bad book. They are such unfriendly persons as long as you doesn't blast your money into their asses.>Facit Omnia Voluntas<

I'm part Greek, and as such have been exposed to their culture pretty well. They're fun-loving, very family-oriented people, but with a distinct distrust for non-Greeks. They're very clannish people, and their closest friends are rarely non-Greek."The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world. So wake up, Mr. Freeman. Wake up and smell the ashes." G-Man

He certainly did some heroic things, but I don't know if I would put him above Prometheus, who was willing to endure days upon days of endless tourcher, to give man fire.Last edited by Praxus; 25 Dec 05,, 22:44.

Originally posted by PraxusFrom what I can tell, Modern Greeks have more in common with the modern Turks then they do with the Ancient Greeks.
Greece has been independent since 1830 and it has had a long time to shake off its hated Ottoman cultural edifices.
Damn the Turks to hell.

The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."- Isaac Asimov
