Most of Sicily was a greek and Syracuse was a greek colony. In fact Archimedes helped defend it against the romans. Most of southern Italy was greek, before Rome became big(and conquered other italians, greeks and carthaginians).

And even after the romans conquered “everything”, greek culture was still dominant since the romans were greekaboos(and greek culture was everywhere because of Alexander the OK).
It’s also available on hbo max.
Cyrillic is literally greek+glagolitic and it was partly a diplomatic creation of the Eastern Roman Empire(aka Byzantine Empire), in order to bring the slavs culturally closer to them.
Russians have nothing to do with it, other than them claiming they are the continuation of Eastern Roman Empire, something which is kinda laughable but whatever dont let your dreams be dreams.
Yeah, the lack of microtransactions and theme are its strong points. It even has some light story stuff.
But if you want to play a game of that style, you might be better off playing Star Rail(from the dev that made Genshin Impact), which is a f2p game with tons of microtransactions but you can really enjoy it without spending a dime. And Star Rail’s design and production values are unrivaled.
I havent played the game but from what i understand it seems like your typical mobile gacha game, where you collect characters and they autofight enemies. Except it isnt f2p and doesnt have any microtransactions. It is just a paid game, with all the trappings, design and progression of a f2p mobile game.
I think it is gibberish.
The second word is almost something. It starts with “EYE”. “EY” means “good” and it is a common greek prefix. Words like euphoria, eugenics, eukaryotes, eucalyptus, etc use this prefix. Fun fact, while Europe is also a greek word that starts with EY(in greek “y” and “u” are the same), it comes from a different world(“ευρυς” which means “wide” and “οπς” which means “face”, because europe is wide).
Anyway, after the EYE, it loses it. But the end of the word, looks like “ΕΙΟΝ” which is also a common greek suffix(kinda archaic). Except the last letter is an “Λ”(L) and not an “Ν” but we can give it the benefit of the doubt.
If you wanted to write “BREWERY” in greek, it would be “ΖΥΘΟΠΟΙΕΙΟN”. It also ends with “ΕΙΟΝ”, so the ai got 1/3 of the word right.
You can wash your dog’s feet you know.
Cleopatra wasnt an egyptian, she was a macedonian greek. Alexander the Great conquered the “entire” world, then died and his general Ptolemy got the kingdom of Egypt. Egypt was ruled by the Ptolemy dynasty and was infamously isolated and incestuous. Their court was mostly greeks or hellenized(greekified) egyptians/jews. In fact, Cleopatra was the first(and last) Ptolemy ruler to even bother to learn egyptian, in 200 years of their rule.
Also egyptians arent black, even today they have all kinds of skin colours. Primarily they fucked other mediterranean people, greeks, carthaginians, romans, phoenicians, hittites. Most black people live(lived) below the Sahara desert, so while there was some trade traffic towards/from that direction, it was pretty limited in comparison. You did have things like the kingdom of Kush but for the most part Egypt had more to do with mediterranean(and middle east) states than with subsaharan ones(Sudan/Ethiopia).
So i dont think egyptians are black for the most part and i think most racists would agree.
This isnt a good argument. For Fox News carbon emissions are irrelevant or good or whatever. But since Taylor Swift is saying she cares about the environment and according to her carbon emissions are bad for the environment, it is hypocritical to use a private jet.
The problem Fox News have with Taylor Swift isnt her carbon emissions, it is her hypocrisy.
The audience loved those movies, thats why they became classics. But movie reviewers were much more pretentious back then. Nowadays it is more socially acceptable for a movie critic to say they had fun with a mainstream action movie.
Greece actually. The whole Hanukkah thingie is from when the jews revolted against their greek rulers.

Make Jerusalem Great Again, bring back the hellenistic kingdoms.

Latin and Greek are nowhere even similar to each other. You might as well say that Latin and German are the same language. Greek and Latin are 2 different linguistic branches of indoeuropean languages. Latin is the precursor of romance languages like Italian, French and Spanish. Ancient Greek is the precursor of Greek. Other major European language branches are the Germanic(German, English, Swedish, etc) and slavic(Russian, Polish, Bulgarian, etc).
Cool single indoeuropean individual language branches also include Armenian, Celtic and Albanian.
Finnish and Hungarian arent indoeuropean languages.
This isnt a thing because of religion and capitalism. Religion isnt really relevant for most people nowadays. And since capitalism is using more automation and creates increased inequality, humans are transforming from an asset(potential unit of production) to a liability(potential for rioting).
I think we will see a sharp increase to the normalization of ending someone’s life in the next few years/decades. And i am ok with that but it is important to realize that one of the main factors behind this change will be that we are a liability for an endgame capitalism, heavily automated world.
Greeks living in current western Turkey were called Ionians.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionians
They were mostly athenean settlers, which is why when Persia conquered them, they asked Athens for help. Athens helped them but the ionian revolt failed and Persia was super pissed. The persian emperor had his servant reminding him daily to “remember the athenians”.
This is the main reason behind the persian invasion of mainland Greece. The persians burnt Athens to the ground, which eventually led to Alexander the OK burning Persepolis(Persian Empire’s Capital) to the ground(a couple centuries later).
Since turks came from the East, Ionians were kinda the first greeks they met, so they decided that all greeks are Ionians(Yunans). Or other non greeks in the East were already calling greeks “yunans” and turks just adopted that terminology too. Especially since that term had been mostly depreciated by the time the turks arrived to the neighbourhood.
