"the Greeks are the wisest people on earth, and the Athenians are the wisest of the Greeks." ~ Socrates and the oracle of delphiHow does this statement hold now thousands of years later with the benefit of hindsight? Greek anons, is it still true that the Athenians are the brainiest of you?
greeks are all liars, but not as bad as arabs. don't trust themt. greek/russian hertiage

>>217675941Athens of today is at most 200 years old. The city was almost entirely depopulated after the Slav invasions. Then the Crusaders fucked shit up. The second city after Constantinople was Thessaloniki, not Athens.
>>217676128Sadge... You hate to see it. The modern world we live in is so cringe compared to antiquity.
>>217675941>SocratesWasn't he a Pederast?
>>217675941I would say we are above autists like germans, but many people are catching up or surpassed us in many aspects of life, while nu-Greeks waste their lives. We can’t even produce drills, let alone good cars
>>217675991>greeks are all liars>t. greek Kek not sure if intended reference to this, but still nicehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epimenides_paradox
>>217675941i feel like he has it backwards, in socrates time the greeks were NOT the wisest. hebrew scholars of the time were far wiser.however since then hebrew philosophy has descended into petty squabbles over inane shit where's the quality of greek philosophy has improved exponentially. the greeks of 2025 are so far ahead in wisdom and learning that they appear almost as an alien civilization to the rest of humanity having left the things that tie them down to lesser cultures behind. the rest of us can only hope to understand small fragments of their wisdom and try to follow in their footsteps hoping to one day recreate what they have built.
>>217680478If you look at all the Greek heroes and gods almost all of them are cunning deceivers, being good at lying is undeniably a Greek virtue.Have you read he Odyssey? Ulysses can't stop lying for no reason even to his own family for 5 fucking seconds.
>>217680359I'm guessing you're an Athenian?
>>217681196Im a turkroach but i like ancient Greece
>>217681535Me too bro! How I wish I was born in ancient Greece and not in the modern era... I'd've been a hero who slew Persians but the two in a single cleave. But not I'm a modern person sitting in an armchair reading books about times where things happened because in our time nothing ever happens.
>>217675941>people from <insert my tribe here> are the best, while "people" from <insert your tribe here> are gay and retardedWhy is this kind of jingoism so prevalent in so many different places and times? A wise man should value modesty and appreciate differences.
