🦞Dear Friends using Firefox,
I was advised to use #Firefox web, it is a bit more #secure than the ubiquitous data brokers #google based #browsers. It was good advice, so I swapped from #Brave and #Seamonkey. Just used it to synch between my apple phone and #Linux running #laptop. Ooh, I am so #techy! Not techy at all, in fact. It will take me at least a day to stop swearing at the mobile phone, with its tiny screen and direct leaks to Apple Core.😤
Talking of #apple who knows how to make real #Swiss #Muesli? It starts with a #grated apple and #lemon juice. Soaked with #oats overnight AND then in the #morning #seasonal #fruits and #nuts, #cream (yes cream) or #greek #yougurt are added - It is so much better than the bird cage droppings in cardboard that are availble in some regions. Muesli is a #meal, a #pudding a #shared #feast

#Sunak accuses #Greek PM of ‘grandstanding’ over Parthenon #marbles
Sunak’s words will do little to heal the rift between the two countries caused by his last-minute decision to cancel the bilateral meeting that was due to take place on Tuesday afternoon.
Diplomacy? More like petty, petulant prickery !

Can't avoid the conclusion that the #Greek government is looking much more adult than the #UK #Conservative side in this dispute about the #Parthenon sculptures.
#SendThemBack
#Sunak's appalling behaviour re #Greek PM suggests more pandering 2 the extreme nationalism of this Tory party. Such behaviour divides human beings, it shows the depths the UK has plumbed. Sunak does NOT speak 4 British people. https://tinyurl.com/bdfmu2pw #RejoinEU #ToryCorruption
Rishi Sunak loses his marbles™ Politico: Who knew, but the #UK PM clearly has a sensitive soul that cleaves to the marble representations by #Greek sculptor Phidias to decorate the 2,500-year-old #Parthenon temple. Unless, it’s all about #politics https://www.rashmee.com/rishi-sunak-loses-his-marbles-politico/
#Postmodernism is an intellectual stance or mode of discourse characterized by skepticism toward the "grand narratives" of modernism; rejection of epistemic (scientific) certainty or the stability of meaning; and sensitivity to the role of ideology in maintaining political power
econd Sophistic is a literary-historical term referring to the #Greek writers who flourished from the reign of #Nero until c. 230 AD and who were catalogued and celebrated by Philostratus in his Lives of the Sophists.

Did you know that, while in many languages the word for the color #orange is the same as the word for the fruit, in #Bulgarian the word for the fruit comes from #Greek (портокал / portokal) and the word for the color comes from #French (оранжево / oranzhevo)?
Three major #Greek shipping firms have stopped transporting Russian oil in recent weeks in order to avoid U.S. sanctions now being imposed on some shipping firms carrying Russian oil, four traders told Reuters and shipping data showed.
The development is a blow to Russia as it narrows the number of shipping firms that are ready to transport Russian oil to consumers in #Asia, #Turkey, the Middle East, #Africa and South America.
Latin tendō (“stretch, extend”)
From Proto-Italic *tendō, from Proto-Indo-European *tend-, extension of Proto-Indo-European *ten- (“to stretch, draw”). Sihler traces the /d/ back to the ordinary present suffix -ye in position after *n (cf. offendō, dēfendō from *gʷʰen-ye-). Cognates include Ancient Greek τείνω (teínō), Sanskrit तनोति (tanóti) and Old English þennan.

It's great to find morphology mashups, partially formed according to one language's rules and partially according to another language's rules.
Reading a #Greek text of the early #Ottoman period, I saw Καραμανλῆδες.
The first part of the word is Karamanlı, #Turkish for "of Karaman." The ending is the Greek third declension nominative plural for a dental stem. (Why? I don't know.)
On the next page I see Ὀτμανλίδες, the same form for "Ottomans."

I just finished the #ClassicalGreek Level A course with the University of Athens and it has really got me fired up to master classical #Greek. I would love to be able to read those inscriptions from the original stone work rather than relying on a curator's translations!
Does anyone have recommendations as to what textbook(s) there are out there for me to properly dive into learning and mastering Classical Greek please? Sadly, Duolingo only has modern Greek.

Duolingo is really teaching me the key phrases this week… #duolingo #greek #volcanoes #geology
New #Greek #law seems completely crazy: as self-employed, you're not allowed to make less than $12k/per year. If you make less, you will still be taxed as if you earned $12k, unless you dissolve your business. As an #artist, earning only a small amount per year, as a hobby+ type of activity, this law makes no sense to me. In fact, being an artist in #Greece would be stupid. I've noticed that #Europe keeps voting such stupid laws that they end up head-slapping themselves after a few months. D'oh.
I wish #English speakers stop using the word "doula". It means "slave" in its original #Greek definition. As a Greek, I cringe every time I hear it or see it written. It's just too strong of a word for us, because it's still used in modern Greek to signify women who have had bad marriages or they're otherwise in "#slavery" work or life conditions. Just use the word "helper" instead. Doula is a bad word to use to simply mean that someone helps you out.

Did you know that the Pastafarians (a delightful allegory for religious questionability), have had to deal with real legal issues?
In 2012, a #Greek adherent was arrested under #blasphemy charges.
Another #Russian Pastafarian minister was arrested when his premises were used by a #democratic political org. & he was assumed to be a member.
He was released from prison this February, after 1 year & 8 months.
Pastafarians are recognised in #NewZealand.
Did you know that we an #ancientgreek #philosopher may have met a funny end?
Heraclitus was known as misanthropic. He spent his life criticizing #people & #politics & disliking other philosophers for their bad ideas. In #Greek fashion, he believed an element represented the #soul: his choice was #fire.
His #philosophy concluded that dryness=#health.
So when he suffered from edema, legend says he tried to dry himself out by laying under a pile of dung & promptly died of dehydration.

Kairos n. Ancient Greek meaning ‘sacred time’ or ‘creative time’.
When you walk with ‘Kairos’ you learn how to tip yourself out of chronological time and are able to decommodify your footsteps to walk in sacred time and to the rhythm of your creative mind.

I just learned that the names Dennis and Dion (Deion, Dionne, etc) are both derived from the Greek god Dionysios. There are variations in every country and #language that had a #Greek influence, and for some reason it had a surge of popularity among Black Americans in the middle of last century. If anyone knows more about that, I’d love to hear it.

I entered the #keto #euphoria state today. That's a feeling some people get while on keto. For me, it makes me feel how I was feeling when I was 10 years old, and was running on the fields in my #Greek village. It's not nostalgia, where you simply remember the feeling, it's instead the exact same feeling: peaceful coherence with earthly life. Keto euphoria is the best thing about the ketogenic diet IMHO.

Did you know that the Minotaur from #Greek #Mythology is connected to a real #palace?
Knossos was the main palace of the Minoans, a people located in #Crete, #Greece during the #BronzeAge.
The labyrinthine palace had many decorative double axes (”labryses”) on the walls.
The Labrys was likely used to sacrifice #bulls, which played a big part in Minoan #religion.
In turn, the Minoans were possibly influenced by the #Ancient #Egyptians & their #sun #god Ra, who rides a heavenly cow.

Narcissus (1599) by Italian Baroque master Caravaggio.
In Greek mythology, Narcissus was a hunter who was known for his beauty. According to Tzetzes, he rejected all romantic advances, eventually falling in love with his own reflection in a pool of water, staring at it for the remainder of his life.
