THE GREEK HERACLES WAS A BLACK MAN AND THE AFRICAN INFLUENCE ON GREEK AESTHETICS

By Samuel David Ewing It has occurred to me lately as I pondered about the next article for this section that the lineage, pedigree, or family tree of the Greek Heracles must be clarified once and for all. Diodorus Siculus and Herodotus recorded that it was the Egyptian Heracles who was the hero who performed the legendary 12 Labors, subdued the animals of the wild that had threatened the people, ushered in the building of cities, water systems, fortifications, and laws. Walter Burkert has estimated that this original Heracles was renowned as far back as 20,000 years ago. The Greek Heracles ended up receiving honors for the accomplishments of his predecessor, having the title of "Heracles", furthermore by the Bronze Age of Greece in which the Greek Heracles was said to have lived the taming of the wilderness had already been accomplished. The Greek Heracles was not likely to be wearing lion skin armor, wielding a club, with spear as weapons, and the danger of lions ru...

Griechenland: Spielunterbruch wegen Molotow-Cocktail-Wurf

Das EM-Quali-Spiel zwischen Griechenland und Kroatien stand am Freitagabend kurz vor dem Abbruch. Hooligans stürmten den Gästesektor und warfen einen Molotow-Cocktail, Leuchtraketen und Rauchbomben. Wüste Szene beim EM-Qualifikationsspiel zwischen Griechenland und Kroatien vom 7. Oktober 2011: Nur drei Minuten nach Anpfiff flog im Stadion von Piräus mindestens ein Molotow-Cocktail in den Gästesektor. Der Spitzenkampf der Gruppe F war kaum angepfiffen, als griechische Hooligans den Gästesektor stürmten und Leuchtrakten und Rauchbomben in die Menge warfen. Ausserdem zündeten sie mindestens einen Molotow-Cocktail, der mit einem riesigen Feuerball zur Explosion kam. Nur weil dieser an eine Scheibe bei einem Aufgang geschleudert wurde und nicht mitten in die 700 Fans, passierte wohl nichts Schlimmeres. Die angegriffenen kroatischen Anhänger ihrerseits wehrten sich, indem sie Sitzschalen aus der Verankerung lösten und auf ihre Gegner warfen. Die Polizei musste einschreiten und die beiden P...

A picture from the porn movie (Screengrab) Greece’s biggest porn production company has released a controversial movie in which terrorists rape ministers’ wives and then blackmail the politicians threatening to publish video online if they do not stop austerity measures. The movie, entitled The People’s Revolution Upon the Ministers' Wives, has been produced by Sirina (Siren) Productions and can be included in the genre of “politicised or austerity porn”. “2012.
