Souvlaki (Greek: σουβλάκι [suˈvlaci]), plural souvlakia, is a popular Greek fast food consisting of small pieces of meat and sometimes vegetables grilled on a skewer. It is eaten straight off the stick and is usually seasoned well. It can be served with pita bread, fried potatoes, lemon, and dips, but the souvlaki itself is eaten on its own, with the side dishes eaten subsequently. The meat usually used in Greece and Cyprus is pork, although chicken, beef, and lamb may also be used. In other countries (and for tourists), souvlaki may be made with meats such as lamb, beef, chicken, and sometimes fish (especially swordfish).[citation needed].

The word souvlaki is a diminutive of the Medieval Greek σούβλα souvla 'skewer', itself borrowed from Latin subula.[1][2]'Souvlaki' is the common term in Hellenic Macedonia and other regions of northern Greece, while in southern Greecearound Athens it is commonly known as 'kalamaki', 'reed'.

ParthenonThe Parthenon  is a former temple, on the Athenian Acropolis, Greece, dedicated to the goddess Athena, whom the people of Athens considered their patron. Construction began in 447 BC when the Athenian Empire was at the peak of its power. It was completed in 438 BC although decoration of the building continued until 432 BC. It is the most important surviving building of Classical Greece, generally considered the zenith of the Doric order. Its decorative sculptures are considered some of the high points of Greek art. The Parthenon is regarded as an enduring symbol of Ancient Greece, Athenian democracy and Western civilization,and one of the world's greatest cultural monuments. To the Athenians who built it, the Parthenon and other Periclean monuments of the Acropolis, were seen fundamentally as a celebration of Hellenic victory over the Persian invaders and as a thanksgiving to the gods for that victory.The Greek Ministry of Culture is currently carrying out a programme of selective restoration and reconstruction to ensure the stability of the partially ruined structure.

Basketball is a limited-contact sport played on a rectangular court. While most often played as a team sport with five players on each side, three-on-three, two-on-two, and one-on-one competitions are also common. The objective is to shoot a basketball (approximately 9.4 inches (24 cm) in diameter) through a hoop 18 inches (46 cm) in diameter and 10 feet (3.048 m) high that is mounted to a backboard at each end of the court. The game was invented in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith.

Greek mythology is the body of myths and teachings that belong to the ancient Greeks, concerning their gods and heroes, the nature of the world, and the origins and significance of their own cult and ritual practices. It was a part of the religion in ancient Greece. Modern scholars refer to and study the myths in an attempt to shed light on the religious and political institutions of ancient Greece and its civilization, and to gain understanding of the nature of myth-making itself.[1]
Greek mythology has had an extensive influence on the culture, arts, and literature of Western civilization and remains part of Western heritage and language. Poets and artists from ancient times to the present have derived inspiration from Greek mythology and have discovered contemporary significance and relevance in the themes.

Achilles and Penthesileia by Exekias, c. 540 BC,

Greek mythology is explicitly embodied in a large collection of narratives, and implicitly in Greek representational arts, such as ancient vase-paintings and votive gifts. Greek myth attempts to explain the origins of the world, and details the lives and adventures of a wide variety of gods, goddesses, heroes, heroines and mythological creatures. These accounts initially were disseminated in an oral-poetic tradition most likely by Minoan and Mycenaean singers starting in the 18th century BC[3]; today the Greek myths are known primarily from ancient Greek literature. The oldest known Greek literary sources, Homer's epic poems Iliad and Odyssey, focus on the Trojan War and its aftermath. Two poems by Homer's near contemporary Hesiod, the Theogony and the Works and Days, contain accounts of the genesis of the world, the succession of divine rulers, the succession of human ages, the origin of human woes, and the origin of sacrificial practices. Myths are also preserved in the Homeric Hymns, in fragments of epic poems of the Epic Cycle, in lyric poems, in the works of the tragedians and comedians of the fifth century BC, in writings of scholars and poets of the Hellenistic Age, and in texts from the time of the Roman Empire by writers such as Plutarch and Pausanias.

Archaeological findings provide a principal source of detail about Greek mythology, with gods and heroes featured prominently in the decoration of many artifacts. Geometric designs on pottery of the eighth century BC depict scenes from the Trojan cycle as well as the adventures of Heracles. In the succeeding Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods, Homeric and various other mythological scenes appear, supplementing the existing literary evidence.[4]

Euclid (300 BC), sometimes given the name Euclid of Alexandria[1] to distinguish him from Euclides of Megara, was a Greek mathematician, often referred to as the "founder of geometry"[1] or the "father of geometry"                                    Data:  deals with the nature and implications of "given" information in geometrical problems; the subject matter is closely related to the first four books of the Elements.

On Divisions of Figures, which survives only partially in Arabic translation, concerns the division of geometrical figures into two or more equal parts or into parts in given ratios. It is similar to a first-century AD work by Heron of Alexandria.

Catoptrics, which concerns the mathematical theory of mirrors, particularly the images formed in plane and spherical concave mirrors. The attribution is held to be anachronistic however by J J O'Connor and E F Robertson who name Theon of Alexandria as a more likely author.[21]

Phaenomena, a treatise on spherical astronomy, survives in Greek; it is quite similar to On the Moving Sphere by Autolycus of Pitane, who flourished around 310 BC.

Optics is the earliest surviving Greek treatise on perspective. In its definitions Euclid follows the Platonic tradition that vision is caused by discrete rays which emanate from the eye. One important definition is the fourth: "Things seen under a greater angle appear greater, and those under a lesser angle less, while those under equal angles appear equal." In the 36 propositions that follow, Euclid relates the apparent size of an object to its distance from the eye and investigates the apparent shapes of cylinders and cones when viewed from different angles. Proposition 45 is interesting, proving that for any two unequal magnitudes, there is a point from which the two appear equal. Pappus believed these results to be important in astronomy and included Euclid's Optics, along with his Phaenomena, in the Little Astronomy, a compendium of smaller works to be studied before the Syntaxis (Almagest) of Claudius Ptolemy.Irene....

Constantine Cavafys  was born in Alexandria, April 29, 1863 and he was a great poet and passed away in Alexandria, April 29, 1933. He lived in Alexandria, so he is often referred to as "Alexandrinos". He published poems, while dozens still remained as drafts. His most important works were created after the age of 40. He belonged to an old Phanari family of merchants and community commissioners of Constantinople. In Alexandria, Cavafy was taught English, French and Greek with a faculty and completed his education for a couple of years at the Hellenic School of Alexandria. Today, his poetry not only prevailed in Greece, but also occupied a prominent position in the whole of European poetry, after translations of his poems to the French, English, German and then to many other languages.

Alexander III of Macedon (20/21 July 356 BC – 10/11 June 323 BC), commonly known as Alexander the Great(Ancient Greek: Ἀλέξανδρος ὁ Μέγας, translit. Aléxandros 🤬 Mégas, Koine Greek: [a.lék.san.dros 🤬 mé.gas]), was a king (basileus) of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon[a] and a member of the Argead dynasty. He was born in Pella in 356 BC and succeeded his father Philip II to the throne at the age of twenty. He spent most of his ruling years on an unprecedented military campaign through Asia and northeast Africa, and he created one of the largest empires of the ancient world by the age of thirty, stretching from Greece to northwestern India.[1][2] He was undefeated in battle and is widely considered one of history's most successful military commanders.[3]

During his youth, Alexander was tutored by Aristotle until age 16. After Philip's assassination in 336 BC, he succeeded his father to the throne and inherited a strong kingdom and an experienced army. Alexander was awarded the generalship of Greece and used this authority to launch his father's pan-Hellenic project to lead the Greeks in the conquest of Persia.[4][5] In 334 BC, he invaded the Achaemenid Empire (Persian Empire) and began a series of campaigns that lasted ten years. Following the conquest of Anatolia, Alexander broke the power of Persia in a series of decisive battles, most notably the battles of Issus and Gaugamela. He subsequently overthrew Persian King Darius IIIand conquered the Achaemenid Empire in its entirety.[b] At that point, his empire stretched from the Adriatic Sea to the Indus River.Irene...

Ancient mathematics has reached the modern world largely through the work of Greeks in the classical period, building on the Babylonian tradition. A leading figure among the early Greek mathematicians is Pythagoras.

In about 529 BC Pythagoras moves from Greece to a Greek colony at Crotona, in the heel of Italy. There he establishes a philosophical sect based on the belief that numbers are the underlying and unchangeable truth of the universe. He and his followers soon make precisely the sort of discoveries to reinforce this numerical faith.

The Pythagoreans can show, for example, that musical notes vary in accordance with the length of a vibrating string; whatever length of string a lute player starts with, if it is doubled the note always falls by exactly an octave (still the basis of the scale in music today).

The followers of Pythagoras are also able to prove that whatever the shape of a triangle, its three angles always add up to the sum of two right angles (180 degrees).

The music of Greece is as diverse and celebrated as its history. Greek music separates into two parts: Greek traditional music and Byzantine music, with more eastern sounds.These compositions have existed for millennia: they originated in the Byzantine period and Greek antiquity; there is a continuous development which appears in the language, the rhythm, the structure and the melody. Music is a significant aspect of Hellenic culture, both within Greece and in the diaspora.

Greek folk traditions are said to derive from the music played by ancient Greeks. There are said to be two musical movements in Greek folk music: Acritic songs and Klephtic songs. Akritic music comes from the 9th century akrites, or border guards of the Byzantine Empire. Following the end of the Byzantine period, klephtic music arose before the Greek Revolution, developed among the kleftes, warriors who fought against the Ottoman

Klephtic music is monophonic and uses no harmonic accompaniment.

Dhimotika tragoudhia are accompanied by clarinets, guitars, tambourines and violins, and include dance music forms like syrtó, kalamatianó, tsámiko and hasaposérviko, as well as vocal music like kléftiko. Many of the earliest recordings were done by Arvaniteslike Georgia Mittaki and Yiorgios Papasideris.Instrumentalists include clarinet virtuosos like Petroloukas Halkias, Yiorgos Yevyelis and Yiannis Vassilopoulos, as well as oud and fiddle players like Nikos Saragoudas and Yiorgos Koros.

Greek folk music is found all throughout Greece Cyprus and several regions of Turkey, as well as among communities in countries like the United States, Canada and Australia.The island of Cyprus and several regions of Turkey are home to long-standing communities of Greeks in Turkey with their own unique styles of music.

A natural delight for the ecotourist

To truly experience the feeling of being at one with nature, you need to take to the waters for yourself as well as admiring them from the shore. By canoe kayak or pedalo, you can float across its emerald surface in a state of utter tranquility while the majesty of the natural landscape unfolds around you. Afterwards, with fishing rod in hand, you can while away hours in relaxation and reflection; patience is bound to reward you with a delicious fish or two!

Take the invitation extended by the many forest roads and paths, trailing among fir, oak and chestnut trees and passing by wonderful creations of both nature and man. Pause for a while at the renovated watermill of Anthohori and then follow the plane tree- lined footpath that leads to a waterfall.

You can do your homework on the ecosystems of the area in the Botanical garden, where a collection of hundreds of Greek flora species are on show. Feeling sufficiently cultivated on the ways of nature round these parts, you’ll be ready to take up the offer of the Flora and Fauna Centre, which organizes hiking tours to reveal this luxuriant masterpiece in its full glory.

If the mountain tops prove too irresistible a challenge, there are plenty of climbing opportunities on the Agrafa range, with comfortable refuges at Karamanoli and Elatakos, in Belokomiti forest.That “top-of-the-world” feeling can also be felt at the high-perching wildlife observatory. Its view to the lake, the Thessaly plain and the “Sleeping Beauty of Agrafa” is breathtaking.

In a gorgeous location on the pistes of the Pindos mountains lies the forest village of “Dryades”. Its tree-like dwellings merge with branch and leaf to evoke a fantasy world of wood elves and secret enchantment, all yours to savour every moment of the magic.

Top all Volos… that’s your meze dish – you see delight comes through the simple things too!

The beaches beneath Mt Olympus are an open book of discovery for both young and old alike; there’s always something for everyone. How about splashing about in the shallow waters of Mesagala or sprawling on delightful sand and sinking into the thermal springs of Kokkino Nero. The Riviera of Larissa is full of surprises of its own: on the Blue Flag beach of Agiokampos, you can join the never-ending dance at its beach parties. Just so happens there’s a concert on tonight.

Origanum dictamnus (dittany of Crete, Cretan dittany or hop marjoram), known in Greek as δίκταμο (díktamo, cf. "dittany") or in Cretan dialect έρωντας (erontas, "love"), is a tender perennial plant that grows 20–30 cm high. It is a healing, therapeutic and aromatic plant that only grows wild on the mountainsides and gorges of the Greek island of Crete, Greece. The dittany of Crete is widely used for food flavouring and medicinal purposes, in addition to it featuring as an ornamental plant in gardens. This small, lanate shrub is easily recognised by the distinctive soft, woolly covering of white-grey hair on its stems and round green leaves, giving it a velvety texture. Tiny rose-pink flowers surrounded by brighter purple-pink bracts add an exuberant splash of colour to the plant in summer and autumn.The dittany is classified as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Plant Species 1997.

Eratosthenes (c. 276 BCE to c. 195 BCE)  was a Greek scholar and his name in greek means  the "power of love". He was commonly known as the "father of geography," due to the fact that he essentially invented it as a scholarly subject.
Eratosthenes was the first to use the word geography.
He studied under the Stoic Greek philosophers Zeno, Ariston, Lysanias, and the poet-philosopher Callimachus. He was also a gifted philosopher, mathematician,  poet, astronomer and musical theorist.
Eratosthenes was a close friend of the famous Greek mathematician Archimedes. He wrote Geographica based on his calculations of the circumference of the earth. He made the first geographical map. He invented the leap year.
Eratosthenes worked out the method by which we could calculate the circumference of the earth using basic geometry.
Greek scholars knew by then that the earth was indeed a sphere.
He knew the approximate distance between Syene and Alexandria, as measured by caravans. He measured the angle of the shadow in Alexandria on the solstice. By taking the angle of the shadow (7°12') and dividing it into the 360 degrees of a circle (360 divided by 7.2 yields 50), Eratosthenes could then multiply the distance between Alexandria and Syene by 50.
He remarkably determined the circumference to be 25,000 miles, just 100 miles over the actual circumference at the equator (24,901 miles).

Gina Bachauer, who was born on 21 of May in 1913 in Athens, was a Greek classical pianist who toured extensively in the United States and Europe.

She was Jewish. She gave her first recital in Athens at the age of eight. She graduated from the Athens Conservatory in 1929. Her first concert with an orchestra was in 1932, when she was 19 years old. She recorded for the His Master's Voice. She gave hundreds of concerts, including 630 for the Allied troops in the Middle East during World War II. Gina Bachauer was also the piano teacher of Princess Irene.

Bachauer was a close friend of Maurice Abravanel and often appeared with the Utah Symphony Orchestra.

The Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition was established in 1976 in her honour. It attracts young pianists from all over the world to Salt Lake City each year. The house in which Bachauer lived in the Athens suburb of Halandri still stands; neighbours with fond memories of the pianist take care of the grounds. The house is visited by numerous fans from around the world, who feed the stray cats just as "The Queen Of Pianists" did when she was alive.

In 1981 the Greek Post honored Bachauer by issuing a stamp in her honour.  She died on 22 of August in 1976 of a heart attack at the Athens Festival, on the day she was to appear as soloist with the National Symphony Orchestra of Washington, D.C.

"A hungry fox is looking for food for her children. A crow tries to eat the cheese it stole. The fox tells the crow how well it sings and asks it to sing. She begins to flatter him. The crow believes her so it starts   singing. So, the cheese falls off its ram and the fox grabs it. The fox tells the crow “You are very stupid because you think that you can sing so nice. Now I can get your cheese!”

1) I chose this myth because I believe that many times in our life we may meet people who are not honest so as to win something from us. we should be careful.
2) This myth sends the message  that we should not always  believe the people who flatter us because many times they want  to hurt us, or win something from us.

Alexandros Pepekas Papadiamantis also spelled Alexandros Papadiamandis, was an influential Greek novelist, short-story writer and poet

Papadiamantis was born in Greece, on the island of Skiathos, in the western part of the Aegean Sea. The island would figure prominently in his work. His father was a priest. He moved to Athens as a young man to complete his high school studies, and enrolled at the School of Philosophy of the University of Athens, but never completed his studies.This happened because he had economic difficulties, and had to find a job to make a living.

He returned to his native island in later life, and died there. He supported himself by writing throughout his adult life, anything from journalism and short stories to several serialized novels. From a certain point onwards he had become very popular, and newspapers and magazines vied for his writings, offering him substantial fees. Papadiamantis did not care for money, and would often ask for lower fees if he thought they were unfairly high; furthermore he spent his money carelessly and took no care of his clothing and appearance. He never married, and was known to be a recluse, whose only true cares were observing and writing about the life of the poor, and chanting at church: he was referred to as "kosmokalogeros" (κοσμοκαλόγερος, "a monk in the world"). He died of pneumonia.
His work is seminal in Modern Greek literature: he is for Greek prose what Dionysios Solomos is for poetry. As Odysseas Elytis wrote: "commemorate Dionysios Solomos, commemorate Alexander Papadiamantis". It is a body of work, however, that is virtually impossible to translate, as the magic of his language is founded on the Greek diglossia: elaborately crafted, high Katharevousa for the narrative, interspersed with authentic local dialect for the dialogue, and with all dialectical elements used in the narrative formulated in strict Katharevousa, and therefore in forms that had never actually existed.

spoon sweet of quince is the most traditional sweet of spoon. You should not miss any home🤤🤤🤤

Materials :
500 g of purified quinces
1 glass of water
500 grams of sugar
1 fl. almonds
1 stranded clown
juice of 1/2 lemon

Implementation :

We clean the quinces. Remove the heart and the slices from each quince and cut it into sticks for the sweet spoon.

Place the quinces with water in a saucepan and let them simmer for 10.

Add the sugar and simmer until the spoon sweet quince is tied.

Then, add the lemon juice, the almonds and the lard to the saucepan. Let them all get a boil and get off the fire.

Stuffed vegetables

Stuffed they really are worship😍😍🤤

Materials :

8 tomatoes of medium size
3 green pepper medium-sized peppers
3 medium-sized florets
2 aubergines moderate
3 pumpkins moderate
fresh vine leaves
fresh zucchini

For stuffing

1 bunch of parsley
1 bunch of mint
1 bunch of fennel
1 bunch of dill
salt
4 fresh onions
1 large onion finely chopped
1 glass of rice
plenty of olive oil
1 large spoonful of tomato paste
pepper

Implementation :

At the bottom of the pan, put the stalks of our herbs and top up the vegetables. We arrange them in order, after washing them and draining them well. Carefully remove the flesh from the tomatoes, pumpkins and eggplants, chop it and add it to the bowl with the filling. Pump the pumpkins and eggplants with a fork and add a little salt to all the vegetables.

Leave them to the edge and prepare the stuffing. Stir the finely chopped herbs with salt to make their flavors. Add the onions, onion, rice, olive oil, peleta and pepper. Mix our ingredients well and if necessary add a little bit of water so that our filling is not dry and of course we try to have some salt still.

Fill the vegetables, not up, and close them carefully. Wrap the buns and fill the cupcakes. As soon as we finish the process, add water to the baking dish up to the waist, some more olive oil and cover the stuffed with vine leaves to avoid grabbing over and above all to get their wonderful scent. Bake our stuffed in a preheated oven at 180-200 degrees for an hour and something.

Α kind of Greek dance is Zeibekiko.The Zeibeikiko, as an old dance, is strictly for males. Due to the movements of the dancer, it is sometimes known as the "eagle dance". The dance has no set steps, only certain figures and a circular movement. It takes place in an area little surpassing one square metre and mostly consists of improvised movements.

The first Olympic Games were organized in Olympia,Greece, in 776 BC and took place every four years. During them wars stopped.    The first modern Olympics took place in 1896 in Athens, and featured 280 participants from 13 nations, competing in 43 events.
GAMES:
Diaulos (roughly equal to today’s 400-meter race)
Dolichos (a longer-distance race, possibly comparable to the 1,500-meter or 5,000-meter event).
Pentathlon (consisting of five events:  foot race,  long jump, discus and javelin throws and  wrestling match) was introduced in 708 B.C.,
Boxing in 688 B.C. and Chariot racing in 680 B.C. In 648 B.C., Pankration, a combination of boxing and wrestling with virtually no rules, debuted as an Olympic event.
The Olympic Games, which originated in ancient Greece as many as 3,000 years ago, were revived in the late 19th century and have become the world’s preminent sporting competition. The Games were named for their location at Olympia, a sacred site located near the western coast of the Peloponnese peninsula in southern Greece,in honor of the god Zeus.

The decoration of the Christmas tree is not a Greek custom. It is said that the first Christmas tree in Greece was decorated by the Bavarian king Otto in 1833. In Greece, according to tradition, we decorate a boat, mainly on the islands. The boat symbolizes the country's maritime identity. The Greeks, a nautical feast, combine, of course, the celebration of Christmas with the sea. The decoration of the ship was also a kind of honor. We saluted the sailors who returned home to celebrate Christmas with their families.
The children used to make their own boat using wood and paper and then decorated them with colorful fabrics, cotton and twigs. On Christmas Eve, many groups of children sang from home to house, carrying their hand-crafted boats and filling them with the goodies they received.
Unfortunately, this custom disappeared over the years and the tree replaced it. ..However, in recent years, we have seen the boat become popular again for Christmas decoration in the islands, as well as Athens ...

The forest of rocks. Paleogene period.
Meteora is included on the UNESCO World Heritage List .
In a landscape of almost inaccessible sandstone peaks, anchorite monks settled on the "columns of the sky" from the eleventh century.                                     During the fifteenth century, twenty-four monasteries had been built at the cost of incredible difficulties.. About 60 million years ago during the Paleogene period a series of earth movements pushed the seabed upwards, creating a high plateau and causing many vertical fault lines in the thick layer of sandstone. The huge rock pillars were then formed by water, wind and extremes of temperature on the vertical faults.
The Meteora is  in central Greece . It is located near the town of Kalambaka at the northwestern edge of the Plain of Thessaly near the Pineios river and Pindus Mountains.

The name means "lofty", "elevated", and is etymologically related to meteor.
