#Greek Far-Right MP Vandalises 'Blasphemous' Exhibit at National Gallery
https://balkaninsight.com/2025/03/10/greek-far-right-mp-vandalises-blasphemous-exhibit-at-national-gallery/
A far-right MP who has been arrested for vandalising a temporary exhibition in the National Gallery in Athens said he did it because the artworks insulted the #Christian #religion.
Like every year, Kyrá Sarakostì, translating to Lady of Lent. She is a salty dough creation with seven feet, one for every week of Easter Lent.
This is not just a fun tradition but a very old one layered and filled with symbolism and traditional references.

It really boils me when people doing these Greek myth movies are using the wrong attires (800 years off target!). The new pic released from Chris Nolan's #Odyssey ( https://variety.com/2025/film/news/the-odyssey-matt-damon-odysseus-christopher-nolan-1236311018/ ) shows an attire from the Classical period, and not from the #Mycenaean times. Here's how they really looked at the time instead.
Also, please stop showing Greek landscapes completely bare in #movies. We have trees. Especially on the mainland.

"#Ladino is one of the most important diasporic #languages in #Jewish history. Also known as #Judeo-#Spanish, or #Judezmo, Ladino is a Romance #language — a variety of Spanish that includes both words and phrases from #Hebrew, #Turkish, #Arabic, #Greek, #French and #Italian. It originally developed in medieval Christian #Spain; after the expulsion of the #Jews in 1492, it moved along with Jewish exiles, and then developed independently of #Iberian Spanish. For 500 years, Ladino thrived, and was the mother tongue of generations of #Sephardic Jews.
If you think you’ve noticed snippets of Ladino lately, you’re right."

"During the reign of Emperor #Hadrian, two #Jewish outlaws stood trial for a series of crimes including the freeing of slaves without paying the required fees and inciting rebellion against the #Roman Empire. Details of the gripping case were lost for almost 2,000 years, but have now come to light after researchers translated the longest #Greek #papyrus ever found in the #Judaean Desert."

I think we all need a timeline cleanse right now….
An adorable #Greek rhyton in the shape of a #cow's head. Vessels such as this one were used in drinking parties. Since they didn't have a base, their contents had to be consumed before the vessel could be put down

#Greek Coast Guard Abandons #Asylum Seekers at Sea Amid European Crackdown
https://www.democracynow.org/2025/1/2/dead_calm_mediterranean_deaths
As we move into 2025, we look at how the world is cracking down on migrants and asylum seekers, and the dangers they face when trying to flee their countries due to persecution, economic conditions, the climate crisis and more. As Greek prosecutors open a murder investigation of “unknown perpetrators” following a damning exposé of the deadly crackdown on asylum seekers by the Greek coast guard, we revisit the BBC film, Dead Calm: Killing in the Med? The investigation revealed evidence the coast guard routinely abducted and abandoned asylum seekers in the #Mediterranean Sea. The film found the Greek coast guard caused the deaths of dozens of migrants over a period of three years, including of nine asylum seekers who had reached Greek soil but were taken back out to sea and thrown overboard. “We really have no real clue about the true numbers of the people that are crossing [the Mediterranean Sea]. Many people don’t make it,” producer Lucile Smith told Democracy Now! in an interview last year, when the film was released. “And when people do arrive, they tend to disappear, because … if you are caught by the authorities in #Greece, you will be most likely subjected to some very serious violence.”

I think basically I’ll follow this recipe. I like the lemony version more than a tomato version. And I’m inclined to use lamb mince instead of beef (sorry to the vegetarians out there).
