>what if the the manic pixie girl was a 60 year old greek man
>>25491076What a dogshit book. There's no way these people are the progeny of ancient Athens and the Eastern Roman Empire. They got RAPED by Turks so much for centuries that they're now brown. Which explains the "carefree attitude", the lack of ambition, and the "milling around", all prevalent phenomena in Subsaharan African countries with gobbledygook languages and no objective perception of time.
>>25491076I loved it, but Christ Recrucified was a thousand times better.
>>25491076Haha, it is, isn’t it? Never thought of that.I love manic pixie dream girls. You lose some of the magic making them sixty-year-old Greek men, but not all of it.
>>25491518What makes it so good?
>>25491076As is tradition
>>25491076You got the causality completely backwards on this. Manic pixie dream girls are >haha but what if the fat old Greek man were a cute skinny girl with a bob and I fucked her?
>>25491443The event that really broke the genetic connection between ancient Greece and modern Greece was the Byzantine empire settling shitloads of slavs in the region to beef up the tax base after plagues and wars had depopulated it. Modern Greeks are mostly descended from these settlers. The Turks surprisingly had much less of a genetic impact.
>>25492233>Modern Greeks are mostly descended from these settlers
>>25491076I watched the film adaptation many years ago and remember liking it.
>>25492233Modern Greeks are descdended from Turks, retardGreece is just Türkiye province that broke free because England wanted that
The movie is great
We have ancient and modern Greek DNA samples. Lots of them. The modern Greeks dont carry really any "Turkic" ancestry but have a sizeable amount of Slavic ancestry added
>>25491443Turks are mostly Greeks, not the other way around.
Holy fuck anon I’m reading this currently and had the exact same thought >manic pixie pappou
>>25491443>What a dogshit book.kek that was my reaction toothis book is praised because of the movie, but i found both zorba and the other faggot annoying
>>25492233slavs were to middle age europe what the indo-aryans were for the prehistoric europeansnot just greeks, even the germans are slavs
>>25492233Source?
>>25491443Cope history-less barbarian
>>25492233Yeah mainland Greeks have some slavic admixture not ''turkic'', what's funny is that modern Greeks plot a bit closer to ''white people'' than ancient Greeks did thanks to that, in other words modern Greeks are ''whiter'' than their ancient ancestors, literally the opposite of what this retard wrote >>25491443
>>25496100and the beauty of ancient greeks far surpassed that of the modern ones. slavs ruin everything.
Why is Kazantzakis so overlooked?
>>25498069He isn’t. Even my normie academic brother in law who doesn’t even read fiction knows of him.
>>25498070Okay so you're Greek, I get it.
