Prologue
For thousands of years the Greeks, grandchildren of the Titan god Prometheus, were pioneers in their political and scientific views and creations. The polymath Pythagoras of the 6thth century BC, he was a philosopher, musician, mathematician, astronomer, cosmologist, theologian and biologist. His social and philosophical teaching was for the peaceful coexistence of humans and nature. All beings were sacred. No man had the right to sacrifice any animal to the gods or for his dinner. Vegetarianism, Pythagoras said, was the highest virtue. But Pythagoras used mathematics and music to understand the world. His ideas about harmony, science, philosophy and cosmology reached Plato and Aristotle and, from them, were established in civilization.
Greece

Pythagoras was one of many scholars of ancient Greece. The homeland of the Greeks, Greece, was and remains in southern Europe and the Aegean and Ionian Seas. In 5being century BC, the Greeks controlled not only mainland Greece (mainland Greece, northern Greece, the Peloponnese, the Aegean with its numerous islands and the large island of Crete, the islands of the Ionian Sea, Ionia (Asia Minor), the coasts of the Black Sea, northern Africa, southern France, southern Spain and the largest part of Italy, which the Romans called Magna Graecia).
Such a vast Greece of hundreds of independent city-states was a universal force of freedom, education, science, language, art, architecture, sculpture, athletic competitions, theater and culture. The other Panhellenic power flowed from the piety of the Greeks for their gods, whom they honored with festivals, the sanctuaries of Apollo and Demeter at Delphi and Eleusis, the Dionysia in Athens celebrating Dionysus, athletic games such as the Olympic Games in Olympia in the Peloponnese in honor of Zeus and the Panathenaic Games in Athens in honor of Athena. This piety for the ancestral gods was not bound by sacred texts, doctrines and priesthood, which did not exist in ancient Greece.
Freedom

The Greeks demonstrated their strength with courage and virtue in defense of freedom and the rule of law. They defeated numerous Persian armies that attacked their homeland Greece at Marathon in 490 BC, Salamis in 480 BC and Plataea in 479 BC.

These victories sparked the golden age mainly of Athens with the building of the Parthenon in honor of the virgin goddess Athena, daughter of Zeus. In addition, Athens became a school of culture, science, commerce, theater and freedom. The theater of Dionysus was a school of freedom. Plato and his student Aristotle created the foundations of moral, scientific and political civilization. They were the pillars of the ancient Greek, Arab and Western world of the Renaissance.
Civil
Sparta, a military superpower, feared the growing power and prestige of Athens and, according to the historian Thucydides, began the Peloponnesian War, 431–404 BCE. The Persians financed Sparta. This devastating civil war also caused the unstoppable decline of Greece.
The ecumenical Greece of Alexander the Great
In the fourth century BC, Alexander the Great, who had Aristotle as his teacher, revived the universal Greece of power, science and culture for about 300 years. In Alexandria, Egypt, the capital of his empire, the first university or Museum was founded by his general and king of Egypt Ptolemy, which the ancient Greeks considered to be an institution of the Muses / gods of knowledge and education. The Museum of Alexandria had a large Library in the early 3rd century BC.th century BC. Euclid, Archimedes and Hipparchus, great scientists of mathematics, astronomy and technology, passed through Alexandria. The scientific and cultural wealth of the Greeks, approximately 500,000 books, was concentrated in the Library of Alexandria.
Discord
Discord among the Greeks, culminating in the Peloponnesian War, helped the Romans conquer Greece in 146 BC. More than 5 centuries later, in 4being In the 4th century AD, the Roman emperor Constantine ordered the forcible introduction of the Jewish Christian religion into Greece and the Roman Empire. What happened next is almost indescribable. This incomprehensible and self-destructive policy caused unimaginable barbaric destruction to ancient Greek monuments, temples, government buildings, schools, theaters, libraries, science and culture over time. At the end of the 4th century, Christians burned the Library of Alexandria and, in 415, monks dismembered the Platonic philosopher Hypatia in Alexandria.

For the first time in its long history, Greece began a life of near obscurity which, with the addition of 4 centuries of Turkish-Mongol-Islamic yoke, 15th — 19th centuries, continue on a much smaller scale in the 21stbeing century.
Hellenism and Christianity
The biggest problem remains. Hellenism was a millennia-long synthesis of piety towards many gods, who were virtues of the soul for perfection and bliss as well as anthropomorphic forces of nature and the Universe. Gaia, Earth, for example, was, according to Homer, mother of mortal men and immortal gods and mother of all things (Homeric Hymns 30). And Hellenism was a child of Mother Earth. But Hellenism was also a mixture of reason, science, philosophy, justice, sobriety, wisdom and the rule of law. On the contrary, Christianity was and is a Jewish monotheistic religion. It is impossible for someone to mix Hellenism with Christianity because they are different cultures. But this was done by force for centuries. The result is that the “Christian Greeks” are schizophrenics. They do not know themselves. The known to them remains foreign, problematic, almost impossible.
This radical change, which also brought centuries of slavery, does not mean the loss of Greek identity or the elimination of the virtue of freedom and elements of culture. The inhabitants of “Deep Mani,” on the southern tip of the Peloponnese, are relatives of the Bronze Age Greeks, that is, Greeks who had their own culture about 3,100 years BC (Communications Biology, Feb. 4, 2026, 9:157). A previous study published in the journal Science in 2017 tells us even more important news, that the Greeks have an almost mythical continuity, the modern Greeks are relatives of the Mycenaeans of the Peloponnese and the Minutiae of Crete of the second millennium BC.
With the exceptions of Ephialtes (in the ancient era) and ethnonihilists (in the modern era of Greek Christians), the Greeks (even Greek Christians) never submitted to foreign conquerors. They became rebels with continuous uprisings. This was the main cause of the Greek Revolution of 1821. Freedom or death, a mixture of virtues from ancient and modern Greece.
After Kapodistrias — xenocracy
The assassination of the patriot and first President of free Greece, Ioannis Kapodistrias in 1831 by local and foreign anti-Greeks, unfortunately, brought to Greece European rulers who had studied Greek history. Unlike the Ottoman barbarian rulers, the Westerners knew the scientific and cultural achievements of the ancient Greeks, but in no way did they want the modern Greeks to understand that they were related to the ancients. This also explains the racism of the Austrian German Jacob Philipp Fallmerayer, who, after his mishellenic writings, wrote that the ancient Greeks disappeared, and that the Christian inhabitants of Greece were not Greeks but mostly Albanians. “Not a single drop of ancient Greek blood,” the anti-Greek Fallmerayer tells us, “flows in the veins of the Christians of the Morea [Peloponnese] of our time” (Our history is peninsula moray eel, 1830). The German occupiers of Greece during World War IIth World War I agreed with Fallmerayer's lies and insults to justify the crimes they committed in occupied Greece.
Fallmerayer's lies were fashionable. The Greek Revolution of 1821 had many political enemies in monarchical Europe. It had upset the European governments that had been patronizing the Ottoman despotism. Fallmerayer dreamed of the Austrians in Greece without Greeks. He also advertised that the Albanians, not the Greeks, revolted against the Ottomans. That there were relatively small numbers of Albanians and Slavs in Greece before and after its fall by the Mongol Turks in 1453 is not disputed. The Muslim Albanians served the Muslim Ottomans. But the most vile slander of the Austrian German Fallmerayer was that the Peloponnese and the Morea were full of Slavs.
For the Peloponnese a century before the fall, we have the writings of a Platonic philosopher. This great scholar, George Gemistos Plethon, 1355 — 1452, was an advisor to Emperor Emmanuel II Palaiologos. He began at the University of Constantinople and ended up in Mistra near Sparta. In Mistra he continued his Platonic teaching and advice to the King. In 1415 — 1418, Plethon made proposals for the reorganization of the Greek state for the salvation of the Greeks. With the Ottomans surrounding the small kingdom, Plethon suggested to the King that he resist the Turks from the Peloponnese. Why? Because the Peloponnese, Plethon replied, had always been the center and heart of Hellenism. Its population was indigenous Greeks, not Albanians and Slavs. Plethon's strategy required three other political changes. (1) The end of the agrarian oligarchy and the establishment of peasants to cultivate the land. If the peasants could not continue their work after a few years, the lands reverted to the state. (2) The replacement of foreign mercenary troops with a national army, and (3) The return to ancient Greek piety towards ancestral gods. Christianity in Greece would come to an end. Unfortunately, the King ignored Plethon and in 1453 Greece ceased to exist for 4 centuries.
European scholars who dealt with the relations between ancient and modern Christian Greeks, scholars of the history of ancient Greek art, either worshipped the Greeks or had racial views on art. The other reason for this hostile behavior of European scholars was religious hatred. The modern Greeks were and are Orthodox Christians, while the Europeans were and are Catholics and Protestants. These Christian camps had been divided by curses and official anathema since 1051, when the Pope and the Patriarch hurled insults at each other. Religious hatred gave rise to both jealousy and the long-standing Western strategy of appeasement and understanding with the Turkic Mongols.
NATO dictators
The Europeans in independent Greece wanted to plunder the country's archaeological treasures and convince the Greek ruling class that there were no relations between ancient and modern Greeks. And so it happened.
France, Britain, Germany and America divided Greece among themselves for archaeological excavations and studies.
When the Germans conquered Greece, April 1941 – October 1944, they stole many Greek archaeological treasures, but, as of 2026, they have not returned the stolen items from Greece. The Greek government, always in debt and obedient to NATO security doctrines, shows no interest in or love for Greek culture. It prefers official silence. It does not ask Germany for the stolen Greek archaeological treasures and the debts that Germany owes to Greece for its war crimes. Economists estimate that the German debt in Greece is about one trillion Euros.
Meanwhile, in the decades after World War IIbeing Since World War II, foreign archaeologists and researchers in Greece have increased greatly. Theoretically, Greek employees of the Ministry of Culture would show concern for the work of foreign researchers in Greece. But the poor and ravaged Greece from loans, debts, wars and civil wars, which had been planned and executed by the allied Europeans to satisfy their NATO obligations towards Turkey, was not in the position and power to resist the European provocations and Turkish conquest views and policy in the Aegean. On the other hand, the foreign (European / NATO and Turkish) anti-Greek policy continues, even in articles, books and academic conferences. Greek academics wrongly imitate their foreign colleagues and, darkly and silently, admit the anti-Greek theories of the foreigners.
All foreign ideas act like radiation and make it difficult for the state and Greek researchers to work. That is, to organize a “normal state” with laws, justice, education, science and the lessons of Greek history: freedom or death. The Greek national state was created by Kapodistrias. But his assassination brought to Greece the German Bavarians, who organized the state in the 19th century. This foreign construct remains a prey to xenocracy, foreign interests, anti-Greek NATO strategy for the benefit of Turkey and local ethno-nihilists in the government, universities, press and national deception/information media.
At the same time, most foreign scholars of Greece write and speak about Greek history and archaeology with the NATO ideology and strategy of turning Europe and America against Russia. Such devotion to the imaginary orgies of armed geopolitical hegemony obliges them to serve Turkish interests, like the caresses that Britain made of Turkey in the 19being century. Why Turkey? Because the Anglo-Saxon hegemony insists on the mistaken notion that Turkey will fight Russia for the sake of Europe. Turkey has never won a war against Russia.
At the same time, Anglo-Saxon academics question major events in Greek history (with the excuse of the Dark Ages) and voluntarily mythologize archaeological treasures. In other words, foreign researchers create myths to educate the morals of Greek scholars and professors with an almost futile narrative:
That ancient Greece also had dark ages from the 12th centurybeing until the 9thbeing century PAE, like the European Dark Ages, which lasted in Europe from the fifth to the thirteenth century,
That the Greek alphabet came from the Phoenicians,
That it is possible that the Minoans of Crete were not Greeks, and
That there is no connection between ancient and modern Greeks – a continuation of Fallmerayer's mishellenic and civilizing theory. But as I have already mentioned recent scientific studies, modern Greeks have an almost mythical affinity with the Greeks of the Middle Ages, Ancient Greece and the Bronze Age.
The non-Greeks, however, are not interested in science. For example, they still doubt the existence of Homer, the teacher of the Greeks for thousands of years.
Homer, painting by Evi Saranteas.
And so Aristotle, 384 — 322 BC, the greatest philosopher and inventor of science, always had the Homeric Epics as a model and source of scientific and moral knowledge and virtues. Aristotle peppered his ethical, political and scientific writings with references to Homer. He also published the Homeric Epics for his student Alexander the Great.
21being century, most non-Greeks, foreign archaeologists, historians, philologists and strategy scholars, if they read Aristotle's ethical, political and scientific works, do not read them for knowledge and education. They read Aristotle for political reasons. They look at ancient Greece with secret admiration and understanding for imitation and what the state they represent could one day become with ancient Greek knowledge and culture. Ancient Greek architecture adorns the great buildings and houses of European countries and America and Russia, just as it adorned the villas of the Roman conquerors. The greatest Museums of the Western world are full of stolen Greek archaeological treasures.
When I first saw the government buildings of America's capital, the Library of Congress, the White House, the Supreme Court, the Capitol, and the beautiful buildings of the House of Representatives in 1974, I understood the invisible admiration that the American ruling class has for Hellenism. In the Thomas Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress there is a mosaic from 1896, which presents us with Athena (and her Latin counterpart, Minerva) in all her divine beauty and power.

Greek art, like architecture, gives beauty and culture, virtues that make these treasures sought after almost all over the world. However, foreign scholars, while admiring the works of the ancient Greeks, as I explained, want Christian Greeks to remain Christians, that is, to avoid the truth about ancient Greece and its culture, which the religion and church have cursed and anathemaed them.
This is the ongoing tragedy of Oedipus in Natoian Christian Greece. If Christian Greeks learn the truth about Christianity's crimes against Hellenism, will they imitate Oedipus in blinding themselves?
Of course, I don't want any Christian Greek to lose their eyes or their sight. I just want them to open their eyes to the historical truth and try to become Greek again, which means a Greek with a love for the truth and a love for their homeland, an independent country of science and culture.
I did the same thing at university. It wasn't easy. My professor in our senior medieval Greek history class told us that the change from Hellenism to Christianity was normal. It was incredible. But as a student, I didn't continue the discussion. I discovered what happened to my research and love for the truth. The result is excellent. Not only are ancient texts understandable to me, but they are also dear to me. I traveled and travel through time. In museums, I see the ancient treasures as if I had them at home. Hellenism for me is not theoretical. It lives and reigns. When I am in the Parthenon, I feel the presence of Athena.
With such a change and transformation, with the Greeks celebrating the naked Olympians in Olympia and the festivals for the gods, and rebuilding the temples, then Greece will once again become as strong as it was in the early 5th century.th century BC. A country self-sufficient in food, weapons, military defense, agriculture, a sufficient population, with agricultural villages for excellent and healthy food and protection of the Earth and water.
Epilogue
I belong to an academic association of Greek professors and doctors called the International Hellenic Association. The members are mainly from Greece and America, as well as from other countries. We meet often via zoom for lectures. We also correspond. In January 2026, one of the professors, Xenophon Dion. Moussas, who, like me, is interested in the Antikythera Mechanism, a true masterpiece of science and high technology of the 2th century PAE, proposed a copy of the MA to be presented during the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Another professor, Elias Stampoliadis, reacted and wrote a letter, which succinctly brings to the surface the dramatic and third-world ignorance of the ruling class and state of Athens, as well as the discord, a construct, for the most part, of foreigners who do not want Greeks to become Greeks.
“Greece,” Professor Stampoliades writes, “reeks of corruption, the Democratic regime of which we boast… we have degraded it to an elective despotism with the rouffeti constituting the mechanism for electing party irrevocable representatives in parliament and the judiciary subordinate to power….
Let us first learn to respect ourselves and then demand it from others.”
I agree with Elias Stampoliadis. The Greece of 2026 is not only not a democracy but also not a homeland with a future. It produces almost nothing. It constantly borrows to import, even food. It is in a miserable economic, political and strategic situation. The author Elias tells us that Greece “does not manufacture the tools we use such as… our military equipment, being descendants of Archimedes, our airplanes, being descendants of Icarus, nor even our ships that we once defeated at Salamis.”
Yes, indeed, shame. Neighboring NATO Turkey is threshing in the Greek Aegean with warships and fishing boats for years. What happened to Greek sovereignty of the Aegean? Turkey is violating international law and of course provoking Greece into war. Does such hostile behavior by Islamic Turkey not worry NATO members, especially America? Apparently not.
And instead of the Greek government making the weapons for defense in Greece, so as to create its own arsenals, it is buying very expensive frigates from France and possibly America. In early 2026, Turkey was threatening that half of the Aegean is its own. The NATO allies are keeping their distance. If there is a war, they will tell each other, we will make money.
The existential threat from Turkey adds more logic to the utmost need for the Greek renaissance of Greece. It would be suicidal to let NATO and Christian religious fanaticism bring us back to Ottoman rule. The European Union could replace NATO and together with Greece and Cyprus neutralize the Turkish threat.
