>>18769274Plethon was the last great Greek.
>>18769274>greatest Greek>not even Greek
>Constantine I>Justinian INot greek
>>18769274>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Greeks>50. Unknown Soldierwho?
>>18769350>It is a cenotaph—an empty tomb or monument built to honor people who have died without their bodies being recovered or identified.>> Rather than guarding a specific individual, the monument and the elite Evzones (Presidential Guard) honor all Greek service members killed across modern wars and conflicts.Arguably all the dead soldiers of that conflict qualify for this spot in a tie.
>>18769274>19. Leonidas I of Sparta>96. Philip II of MacedonWill Philip ever get the respect he deserves
>modern greeks over ancient greeksLMAO
>>18769332>took part in the Olympic gamesShove that in your pipe and schmoke it.
Where the hell is Euclid? Euclidean geometry? the elements? why is he not included? also where is ptolemy (the almagest)?El Grecos paintings are not even that good.
>>18769332Someone has to claim him, and its not going to be modern day macedonians who do not even speak greek, his mother tongue.
>>18769557born in egypt, likely a hellenized egyptian or mixed race
>>18769336>>18769274yeah justinian was a thracian-illyrian-roman and constantine an illyrian they're not even 1% greek
>>1876955744th
>>18770050We claim them via Byzantine heritage I guess, who else would, Serbia?. Shame that long and important chapter of our people's history has been systematically suppressed for centuries because Brits were in their classicist phase when setting up Greece.
>>18769274Alexander was a homo, yikes!
>Alexander #1>Philip II #96come on now
>>18769274Tell me about Kolokotronis. Why does he wear the stache?
>Diadochi, including Seleucus and Ptolemy 404'd>kept Justinian in the top 100>the Illyrian emperor who spoke Latin>these niggas put a weight lifter and an actor on this listJust what the friggin heck is this bullshit. I wash my hands of this mess. You make me sad.
>>18769274Alexander of Macedon was as greek as Stalin was russian.at first I thought all greeks anyone ever heard of were listed, plus a good deal of literally whos, but then I noticed that Emmanuil Roidis wasn't on the list. wtf?
>>18770446>as Stalin was russianhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_of_Russia_(Russia_TV)
>>18770446See >>18769515
>>18769561>Someone has to claim him
>>18769336>>18770050Constantine's mother was GreekHis father was a Thraco-Illyro-Roman, like Justinian>>18770047Not really, they practised endogamy>>18770446Do people genuinely believe this "Macedonians were actually a completely different ethnicity" thing or is it just elaborate trolling? Anyway, Stalin as Russian is comparable to Justinian as Greek, not Alexander
>>18770644It's a way for Europes equivalent of streetshitters to we wuz. Go to litterally any social media post about Greek history and at least 50% of the posts will be various varieties of Balkan gypsies claimjng that actually it was them who are the real Greeks who built the Acropolis and all those statues (but didn't bugger any boys).
>>18769274>vangelisGood.
>>18770644>Do people genuinely believe this "Macedonians were actually a completely different ethnicity" thing macedonians were a closely related ethnicity (not 'completely different', as you try to force the misunderstanding) but not quite greeks.
>>18770189>We claim them via Byzantine heritageby this logic the syrian or armenian emperors of the byzantinian (roman) empire were greek
>>18771370More like the areas that are today part of Syria and Armenia were in the Hellenic sphere back then but sure.
>>18769274Basil II needs to be higher
