GREEK HISTORY
From the ancient years Greece has played a very important role in the
history of our planet. Many of todays known sciences started in
ancient
Greece. Ippokratis was the father of medicine, Isiodos the father of
history as well as others, Democracy was also born here.
One of the most glorious Greeks was Alexander the Great, who was even
worshiped as a god by the Egyptians and others. He was not only a
warrior,
he gave the lights of civilization to all the nations he met. He was
such a
significant person in our planets history, and so all the nations call
him
Alexander the Great. I the writer of this page feel lucky as to be
born in
the city which has the name of Alexander's sister Thessaloniki.
Another glorious period of the greek history has started under the
Roman
occupation and was continued after its fall in the Byzantine Empire.
The
end of this Empire came by the occupation of it's capital
Constantinople
to the Othoman Turks.
Currently through decades of fighting for the right of their land
Greece
isn't totally free yet, many of it's beautiful lands are occupied by
other
nations. A great example is the half of Cyprus being occupied by the
Turks.
It's not so long ago when they brutally killed Tassos Isaak and
Solomos
Solomou in front of the eyes of the United Nations army. In the near
future
Greece will be totally free and ready to write gold pages of history.
