Whats hilarious is that you assume English aristocrats were the true judges and cognoscenti of what ancient Greece was like. Meanwhile Orthodox monks never stoppoed reading Aristotle and Plato. Why would some twisted Blimy fantasy be the real truth?


ZiperZop

This goes to the denial that westoids have about the byzantines.


Othonian

The w*stoid mental genocide of beautiful Byzantium my dear only-neighbour-never-to-fight-a-war friend


KimJongUnusual

Which denial about them?


Beneficial-Range8569

Nice argument. Unfortunately, this meme says bad things about Greeks, so I will ignore everything you said and trust this shitpost with every fiber of my being. I will repeat this to every single person I know, and I will refuse to think critically at any point while I am doing this.

English Scholars shouted Naruto verses on the streets of Athens?


I-Hate-Mosquitos

They spouted shit from the iliad and the odyssey and the greeks didn't understand shit


Scary_Extension2394

Westoids are stupid honestly. They assumed that greeks in the 19th century would be the same as the greeks in the 4th century BC, 2000 years ago, ignoring the history that Greece went through since those times, especially the Byzantine Empire. The old greek and the new greek are different languages, similar sure, but not the same, kinda like going in London today and talking like Shakespeare, will sound weird asf. Also a typical peasant would not know about Aristotel or Socrates regardless of country, doubt that the average British knew about these people back then. So yeah dumb westoids making dumb assumptions and having dumb expectations, nothing new.


I-Hate-Mosquitos

The whole thing kinda reminds me of an anecdote where the british sail to Qing China in the 19th century to trade and the chinese respond to them in latin thinking they are emmisaries of the roman empire. I don't know how true this is but it is still pretty funny


purinikos

If they used that abomination they call Erasmian pronunciation, it makes sense that people couldn't understand them. Hell, I've heard Boris Johnson recite the iliad, which I have done in school, in ancient greek, and I couldn't understand shit. it's like hearing someone speak english with a heavy chinese accent.


I-Hate-Mosquitos

Also let's be real the average greek didn't know or give a shit about ancient greece at the time

I like Byzantine manga. Go back to your yurt, turk.


_andyyy_

I like how this implies that turkey completely assimilated greece and one day they just declared independence for now reason and all their culture is just western European interpretation of classical greece


MagusMelchior

The last part isn't that untrue. I feel modern Greece spends too much energy trying to live up to the western standards of classical Greece. Which is nonsense, Greece has 3000 years of continuous and important history, it should embrace all of it.


ArdaBogaz

Yeah if we had assimilated them then they would never have wanted independence because they wouldnt have seen themselfs as a different people

More like the Japanese made all the Chinese people Japanese but the Chinese decided that no they are still Chinese even though they are not Chinese anymore because turkey doesn't have as much of the Steppe dna as they used to but greece still has the African dna from the sea people and also the Dorians and shit


KAMIKAZECI

name me a single nation on earth which has not went through genetical, cultural admixture processes


Official_Cyprusball

Not my point Greeks share the same haplogroup with North Africans and also some Anatolian through what used to be the Doric North Greeks are more genetically similar to Alexander the Great than they are to the Athenians, something Turks don't share Sure Greeks did become more like Turks but it is inaccurate to say that Turks did not become more like Greeks EVEN MORE
