I'm really sorry to be rude but, who the hell are you, and who the hell cares what you recognise, or don't recognise, or what you're sympathetic to? Where do you find the knowledge to say what has cultural significance to modern Greeks, whom you clearly know next to nothing about? Where do you get the authority to say that our culture -I'm Greek- has "next to nothing in common with ancient Greek culture"?? According to what, and to whom?
Get off your high horse! Your opinions have no basis in anything else than the stubborn arrogance of internet randos. You know nothing of the things you're talking about.

- coldtea 4y ago>Do you speak ancient Greek? "Koine Greek", the Greek of the Septuagint (the New Testament translation from Hebrew), from 2300 years ago, is well understood, and the huge majority of the words are in active use in the "modern koine Greek" Greeks speak. Is 2300 years (about 100 years after Plato and Aristotle) ancient enough for you? >Do you worship ancient Greek gods? Which ancient Greek holidays do you celebrate? Do you wear ancient Greek style clothes? A people's historical artifacts is not something that stops belonging to them and their civilization because they've changed aspects of their culture over time. Of course, for citizens of countries that never had much of a history to begin with, and would have even less without plundering others, this is difficult to comprehend.
