Kompromiss-Gegner werben mit Schäuble-Dracula
In Griechenland werben die Gegner eines Kompromisses mit Athens Geldgebern vor dem Referendum am Sonntag mit einem deutschen Politiker für "Nein"-Stimmen. "Seit fünf Jahren saugt er euer Blut, nun sagt 'Nein' zu ihm", steht auf Plakaten der "Oxi"-Kampagne. Dazu prangt ein Foto von Bundesfinanzminister Wolfgang Schäuble (CDU) auf dem Poster. Auch die griechische Regierung appelliert an die Bevölkerung, mit "Nein" zu stimmen.
Mittwochnacht war das Hilfsprogramm für Griechenland ausgelaufen. Seitdem sind das letzte Angebot der Geldgeber und das Hilfsprogramm laut Bundesfinanzminister Wolfgang Schäuble (CDU) ohnehin hinfällig.

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...

- Greece has already lost in the case of the name issue. Ninety – five percent of the countries in the world accept the name Macedonia, and we continue to discuss this, said Nikos Dimou, a member of the Greek political party “Potami” (River) when guesting the show on Sky television. Dimou, a renowned Greek writer with more than 60 published books , said he supports a solution based on a composite name with a geographical qualifier, but added that he agrees that Macedonia can be called whatever they want “Macedonia as well”. - The name issue was mismanaged by the Greek government from the very beginning. It is a question for which we have already lost, Dimou said. As MIA reports from Athens, he added that it is his personal view and not the party’s, as he said, ” it has not established a position on this issue”. Dimou’s statement met with strong reactions by some Greek media. The electronic edition of “Hellene Elisis” commented that “the new party discovered their g...

The Greeks were never what the Germans thought of them

 "The Greeks were never what the Germans thought of them" On the criticism of philhellenism For a long time "Greece" was the projection screen for idealized ideas. But what made the Philhellenes so special? And what about philhellenism today? Caricatures are currently playing an aggressive to mean role in Greek-German relations. May I help you look at an older caricature by my friend Kostas Mitropulos? [1] A delighted, laughing man in antique hoplite armor stands on the right: round shield with meander pattern, breastplate, the open storm helmet, greaves and hand spear are easy to see. The gaze and the words are directed towards the person opposite, identified by their cap, black hair and mustache as the prototype of a Greek named Jorgos, Kostas or Jannis, whose gaze seems somewhat perplexed. The former applies the ancient Greek sentence Άνδρα μοι έννεπε μούσα πολύτροπον ... ’to the latter, whereupon the razor-sharp conclusion: ah German - that can only be a German....
