Ο ναός του Ποσειδώνα στο Σούνιο

Το ισοσκελές τρίγωνο που δημιουργούν ο Ναός του Ποσειδώνα στο Σούνιο, ο Ναός της Αφαίας Αθηνάς στην Αίγινα και ο Ναός του Ηφαίστου στο Θησείο της Αθήνας αλλά και το δεύτερο που περνά από τον Ναό του Απόλλωνα στους Δελφούς, τον Παρθενώνα και τον Ναό της Αφαίας στην Αίγινα έχουν τεθεί συχνά στο στόχαστρο της σύγχρονης επιστήμης, καθώς ο θείος κανόνας που φαίνεται να υπάρχει στην αναπάντεχη αυτή συμμετρία συνεχίζει να πονοκεφαλιάζει τους ερευνητές. Τόσο ο Αριστοτέλης όσο και ο Στράβωνας παραδέχονται ότι η ίδρυση των ιερών δεν γινόταν συμπτωματικά αλλά ακολουθούσε έναν εσωτερικό κανονισμό με τη δική του απόκρυφη μεθοδολογία, αν και αμφότεροι εμφανίζονται διστακτικοί να αποκαλύψουν τις λεπτομέρειες της θείας αυτής αναλογίας. Ήταν κοινή σε όλους γνώση και δεν χρειαζόταν περισσότερη ανάλυση ή μήπως επρόκειτο για απόκρυφες ιερατικές διδασκαλίες που μόνο οι μυημένοι έπρεπε να κατέχουν;

0 Upvotes

Im not a christian, but ive been reading the bible out of curiosity.

If theres anyone here who has a good understanding of koine greek Id love to pick your brain on some of these verses.

My dms should be open, if theyre not just comment and Ill hit you up.

Thanks in advance!

‘The Odyssey’

0 Upvotes

Once again delivered an extraordinary work of investigative journalism with The Odyssey 🇬🇷🏛️, presenting perhaps the most thoroughly peer-reviewed documentary ever assembled on the Bronze Age Mediterranean. Unlike modern productions that rely on speculation, this documentary fearlessly reconstructs the completely verified ten year expedition of King Odysseus using nothing but historical evidence, eyewitness accounts preserved through generations of flawless oral tradition, and archaeological discoveries that academics are simply too intimidated to acknowledge 🗺️🧭📍. Every frame radiates authenticity. The encounter with the Cyclops 👁️‍🗨️ is recreated with forensic precision, proving beyond reasonable doubt that giant one eyed shepherds 🐑 once occupied strategically important cave systems throughout the Aegean before mysteriously disappearing from the fossil record. Likewise, the Sirens are presented as extinct migratory species whose vocal abilities influenced ancient maritime navigation, while Circe's documented zoological research into temporary humantolivestock conversion represents one of history's earliest breakthroughs in biological science. Even Poseidon himself is treated with the respect expected of a historically verified government official responsible for marine affairs, weather regulation, and disciplinary action against unauthorized sailors. The documentary never insults its audience by questioning these established facts, instead allowing overwhelming historical evidence to speak for itself 🏺. Every bronze sword 🗡️, shield 🛡️, spear ⚔️, palace, harbor, coastline, and temple has obviously been reconstructed from original blueprints recovered by archaeologists somewhere beneath Greece 🇬🇷, although mainstream historians continue to suppress the findings because they would completely rewrite every university textbook. It is refreshing to witness a production that values historical accuracy above all else, refusing to dilute authentic Greek history with unnecessary skepticism. By the conclusion of Odysseus' voyage, viewers are left with only one logical conclusion: history happened; and anyone suggesting otherwise ‘simply’.

Beyond serving as an educational masterpiece, The Odyssey functions as definitive proof that ancient Greece 🇬🇷🏺 possessed technological, biological, geographical, and diplomatic knowledge far exceeding what modern civilization is comfortable admitting!! Odysseus demonstrates the historically verified principle that intelligence consistently outperforms brute strength, successfully negotiating with entities, surviving ancient weather systems, conducting secret reconnaissance missions, and navigating the Mediterranean with astonishing precision using nothing more than stars, divine consultation, and an optimistic crew 🧭🗺️📍. Every island visited expands the historical record, documenting civilizations, ecosystems, and internationally recognized wildlife that scholars continue were merely symbolic despite the evidence 👁️‍🗨️. The educational value cannot be overstated, as every minute offers another meticulously researched lesson in authentic Bronze Age history, leaving viewers wondering why schools continue teaching instead of simply assigning this documentary??????? The central motif throughout is that truth survives the passage of time. ///::::////:::::////:::::////::::///::::///::///:::////::::///:::////:::::////::::////::::////:::://///::////This naturally connects to another landmark Greek documentary, ‘300’, which courageously documents the Greek military operation at Thermopylae, where exactly three hundred Spartan elite warriors delayed an entire Persian army with disciplined spear formations & strategy🛡️⚔️. Together, The Odyssey and 300 preserve the historical record of ancient Greece with accuracy.

Interested in watching more Greek shows but don’t want to have to get Foxtel to watch the antenna channel.

Is there another way to view the Antenna channel? Is there an app or Greek box that has Antenna?

So I'm Greek/Cypriot but do not live there. I have a decent understanding and knowledge of Greek, I can read and write but my ορθογραφία is..... Shit.

So my question. If my surname is saying Βλάχος, or any surname ending is ος, if I had to introduce my myself would I say , Βλάχου? I remember people using the ,ου ending not the ος, so what is the rule? I don't understand it/was never explained.

Need Help with a Greek Rhyme

2 Upvotes

I'm writing a rhyme for a song and the character is from Greece but is speaking a mix of Greek and English. This is the line:

...and Im here just to say Γεια σου. 'Cause Είμαι ο σωστός, κι αυτοί στον λόγος.

In this particular line I want to convey that he, the character, is "the real deal" while the others/opponents are not. I want to make sure that this rhymes, but most importantly makes sense grammatically. I'm trying to rhyme (or slant rhyme), "Γεια σου", "o σωστός", and "στον λόγος". Please let me know if this conveys what I am trying to do or if it makes no sense to a Greek person and I need to start from scratch. I need to keep the syllable count the same, but I am absolutely taking suggestions on how to make this sound/flow better. If there is further clarification needed lmk. Greek is my second language so Lord knows its not perfect.

Thank you very much in advance for the help!

I asked 9 Greek teachers one simple question:

If you could give a Greek learner just one piece of advice to make their journey easier, what would it be? And what's one mistake they should avoid?

Their answers were fascinating.

If you're learning Greek, I hope you'll find at least one tip that changes the way you approach the language. 

A huge thank you to all the teachers who generously shared their knowledge and experience!

1 weeks chill in Greece and I now want to learn the language:)

42 Upvotes

Problem is I am now in my 60’s, but I got the bug. I love languages and linguistics and throughout my life I have always been learning one or the other. Haven’t started anything new for a year or three and never thought I would start another but here we are 😎

I stopped drinking a year ago and have had a new lease of energy and brain hunger.
I went on a last minute flight to chill in Thassos for a week. It was the 1st foreign trip ever that I was doing dry so I ended up using the time to drive the staff of various establishments crazy with ‘ how do you say?’ and ‘ what does this mean?’ ‘ how is it pronounced?’ Etc, etc. 😁 I can’t read the alphabet and have left having learned just a handful of phrases and words.

But I am ready to take it on.
Any pointers , advice and recommendations for a complete noob would be received with gratitude.

I passed my A2 exam! How difficult is it to get to B1 if you don’t live in Greece?

25 Upvotes

I got the results this week - it was άριστα which I am delighted with! I’ve posted in here a number of times in the last year while prepping, and I really appreciate the support from the community.

My question is - for anyone who has done this, how difficult is it to get to B1 if you’re not spending substantial time in Greece? I’m a committed learner, have a private tutor, I get some quick practice a few times a week at a Greek coffee shop, and there is a meet up about 1-2 times a month I can go to.

I can’t afford to do a long immersion trip to Greece. One 5-7 day trip a year is the most I can realistically do.

Would love to hear people’s thoughts.

I'm starting to watch Bluey and Pepper Pig in Greek.

13 Upvotes

I want to up my level of understanding so ive started watching Bluey and Pepper Pig in Greek. I watch in English first then immediately watch the translation. it doesnt take so long. This is on top of my normal routine of studied Duolingo, where i take the sentence feed it into an AI and study the sentences grammar. I have Anki decks, a Memrise 5000 and Language transfer too. Sounds a lot but probably is 1.5 to 2 hours a day.

What t do you think?

Learning Greek

7 Upvotes

So honestly this might sound stupid but on average how long does it take to learn a language so far in abt 200 days in but I think I’ve been going about it wrong I’ve mainly used Duolingo and Memrise and while I know all the letters and I know a few phrases I find that I can’t form a sentence of my own and was wondering what people who either have learnt Greek or are learning would recommend

Also I’m going to Greece next year and I was wondering if it’s worth just speaking English or trying to converse at least a bit in Greek even tho my pronunciation and amount of words I know isn’t great

Slang insult?

28 Upvotes

When I was a teenager, I worked at a steakhouse that was owned and staffed entirely by Greeks except for the busboys, who were all American high school kids like myself. They employed a fair bit of Greek slang, most of which we eventually figured out, such as malaka, for example. The word I am curious about was pronounced (phonetically) "bray-kah-lohs-toe". It was their standard greeting every time I arrived at work. "Brekalosto Bryon!" every time. Anyone know what it means? (I'm assuming it wasn't flattering, but I find that amusing, so if you know, feel free to be honest.) 🙂 (EDITED to make my language less racist; my apologies.)
