Konstantinos Konstantinidis – Amphiktyon
However, because Greek philology emerged from Alexandria in Egypt after the persecutions and destruction it suffered in Greece by the Romans and was transferred to the Egypt of the Ptolemies, it was falsely claimed that intellectual flourishing took place in Egypt. It should be noted that the Ptolemies were also Greeks, just like Alexander the Great.
It was there that mythology was separated from history, and various writers and scholars composed works, such as Herodotus (who was misled and wrote many inaccuracies), Diodorus, Diogenes Laertius, Apollodorus, the Alexandrian Polyhistor, Berossus, Abydenus, the Jewish historian Josephus, and others.
However, all of them were unaware of the “Hymns of Orpheus” (the Orphic texts), which contain astronomical observations dating back to extremely ancient times. These were first made known through the work “Ogygia” by Athanasios Stagirites in 1815. Yet even then, the established anti-Hellenic doctrine refuses to acknowledge that the Orphic texts belong to the most ancient Greek tradition.
Commentary
1/ Linear Script A is connected to Linear Script B. It uses almost the same characters—therefore it is also Greek. The symbols of Linear A were transferred into the (proven Greek) Linear B script. About 3,600 years ago (officially), Linear A was borrowed from the Cretan Greeks—wrongly called “Minoans”—and from the Greeks wrongly called “Mycenaeans”, both undeniably Greek.
Linear B is the Mycenaean dialect, which was used in the administration not only of the Mycenaean palaces in Crete, but also in Thebes (Boeotia), Mycenae, Pylos, Tiryns, and the rest of mainland Greece (and Greece beyond today’s borders, I would add).

2/ Ignorant so-called researchers, due either to lack of knowledge or to other motives, divide and fragment the long history of the same people who have lived continuously in the same land, speaking and writing the same language with local variations and sharing the same values and traditions.
They do not limit themselves to fragmenting the Greek people and their history alone. This fragmentation extends to all expressions of Hellenism: ancient Greek vs. modern Greek, modern Greek language vs. katharevousa vs. ancient Homeric Greek, Greeks of Greece vs. diaspora Greeks, Cypriots, northern vs. southern Macedonia, northern vs. southern Epirus, Christians vs. pagans, and so on.
3/ Greek archaeology has been labeled as mythology, and there is generally a refusal to acknowledge the continuity of this people who brought light to the world. This division is deliberate, in order to estrange us from our glorious roots and ancestors, from our timeless language—the richest in the world—from our values, traditions, and customs, and to make it easier to impose upon us foreign doctrines and beliefs that are authoritarian, theocratic, and often barbaric.
4/ Through representative democracy, the direct democracy that existed even since the time of Homer—sometimes even in military decision-making—was altered. Divisive political parties were introduced so that societies remain in constant internal partisan conflict. Even the expressions used by the mass media belong more to military terminology than to political debate.
5/ Instead of gratitude, our supposed foreign allies and our neighboring barbarians have repeatedly wounded this nation through successive genocides and have not allowed it the peace necessary to create the renaissance that humanity awaits in order to enter the era of “Noocracy”—the rule of intellect—and spiritual maturity.
6/ Two ancient peoples have historically been under persecution: the Greeks and the Jews. One represents the Spirit, the other Wealth and Matter. At first glance they appear to be in opposition, like Zeus and Hera.
Excessive wealth overthrew the spirit, and disorder spread across the world. Only when these forces remain in balance can harmony prevail on earth.
At present, matter and wealth have attempted to overshadow the spirit through the use of modern technology and recently artificial intelligence, and the world is experiencing instability and imbalance.
It is time for Hellenism, as a stabilizing force, to activate its civilization so that the following principles may prevail throughout humanity:
- Democracy
- Human Rights
- Respect for International Law and Justice
- Humanism
- Ecology (which is particularly harmed by wars)
- Universal Education
- The limitation of extreme wealth
- The peaceful disappearance of theocratic and authoritarian regimes
Through friendship and cooperation, the world may advance toward the great new era opening before it.
General Conclusion
Therefore, friendship, cooperation, and geostrategic partnership with Israel is not temporary but permanent and enduring, for the benefit of all humanity and especially for the consolidation of peace and stability in our troubled region, as long as the theocratic regimes of the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East threaten both countries (Greece and Israel).
a) Israel’s place is within the European Union, if it so wishes, once the situation stabilizes and the war ends.
b) Cyprus should enter NATO once the island is unified and Turkey is forced to withdraw its occupation forces.
c) Cyprus and Crete are two key islands for the defense of the West and therefore must become strong defensive bastions.
d) Greece has a role in the Arab countries of the Eastern Mediterranean and should always approach them with an olive branch, as well as toward Iran in the post-Khamenei era.
e) Russia is a cultural creation of the Byzantine Empire and a geostrategic extension of Europe. This reality calls for Russia’s inclusion in the European family with a special relationship (General Charles de Gaulle once spoke of a Europe “from the Urals to the Atlantic Ocean”).
