So, sciences did not start in ancient Greece? Nor did the Minoans speak Greek? The Troy that Schliemann discovered was not the real one? In ancient Athens, homosexuals did not lose their political rights? Nor did Harmodius and Aristogeiton kill the tyrant Hipparchus for political reasons?

Nominated for the audience awards Skroutz Book Awards 2025.

So, sciences did not start in ancient Greece? Nor did the Minoans speak Greek? The Troy that Schliemann discovered was not the real one? In ancient Athens, homosexuals did not lose their political rights? Nor did Harmodius and Aristogeiton kill the tyrant Hipparchus for political reasons?

Archimedes did not run naked through the streets – against the laws and every sacred place – shouting “Eureka! Eureka!”? Nor did the people of Chios walk in pairs so that the Ottomans wouldn’t force them to carry each other on their shoulders?

Soon you’ll tell us that Napoleon wasn’t Greek after all! That the stripes on our flag do not symbolize the phrase “Freedom or Death.” Maybe even the clarinet isn’t a Greek instrument?

Will you claim that Greeks also emigrated illegally? That Asia Minor was not lost because “the Allies betrayed us?” That the Battle of Crete did not delay Hitler’s advance into the Soviet Union?

That no Evzone fell from the Acropolis wrapped in the Greek flag, in front of the Nazis? Maybe even Greek football teams didn’t play friendly matches with the occupiers? Nor was the Junta organized by the Americans?

Why do you hate our myths so much? Here are a few more short stories about big misunderstandings.

    Excellent book, just like the first one. Every Greek should read it to learn the real history (without myths), a fact that will make them more patriotic.

  • I hope that in No. 3 of his work, the author will finally write about his own myths. The ones he seems to have grown up with and which he skillfully avoids addressing. By deconstructing them, just as he rightly does with the myths "of others." This is where I want to see your skill! Otherwise, you are not doing History, you are simply moving within the triptych of Ideology - Self-interest - Propaganda. So, dear author, I am eagerly awaiting the deconstruction of the myths of your own ideological space that concern Greece. You can start from the second congress of the KKE, continue with the Asia Minor Catastrophe, the Metaxas dictatorship, the Occupation, the Civil War, etc. There is plenty of material from declassified documents after the fall of the Soviet Union. So let's see how honest you really are.

    Very good book, just like the first one anyway. Stavros continues the work of debunking myths and misunderstandings, and this time the content was more scientific and I enjoyed it.

  • Good effort. However, it falls short of the first one.
