Throwing your weight around with a "Do you know who I am?" is an abominable behavior that is deeply rooted in Greek culture and, having no place in a democracy, needs to be eradicated.

On numerous occasions Greece's main political parties have expressed their intention to send their "best and brightest" as their representatives to the European Parliament.  

Two antiquity fragments that were taken out of Greece illegally were repatriated from the Swiss capital Bern on January 23, the Culture Ministry said on Thursday.

One fragment bears an inscription carved in stone, dating from late 3rd century BC to early 2nd century BC, while the other is part of a marble Ionic column capital dating to Roman times, 1st to 2nd century AD.

The polls for the local and regional elections will be held at a politically "neutral" time, in that the country won't be facing a major situation where a lot is at stake.

As such, it is an opportunity for voters to focus on the essentials when it comes to making their pick of candidates. 

Greek officials on Sept. 30 confirmed the death of a woman on Sept. 29's blaze at Moria, Europe's largest migrant camp, which houses around 13,000 people but has facilities for just 3,000.

Across the ancient world, falling irretrievably into debt was to enter into bondage to the rich. For millenia, the poor typically had no collateral for loans beyond their bodies and their labo. Aristotle said that the “poor… were enslaved by the rich.”
