Thank you! 💙

It's definitely not something that is easy to recognize given how the Western mythos so heavily appropriates a Hellenic veneer while having little in common with the people or civilization itself, especially not since Western Hegemony means cultural domination and thus the Western imagination of Greece is going to supplant understanding of the real thing.
