Not much has been written about the Nereids of modern Greece. Wherever there is a warm, healing stream they believe that it flows from the breasts of the Nereids.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A heroic nature is very Greek.
The ancient Greeks have a knack of wrapping truths in myths.
We know their names: Hippolyta, Antiope, Thessalia. But they were long thought to be just travelers' tales or products of the Greek storytelling imagination. A lot of scholars still argue that. But archaeology has now proven without a doubt that there really were women fitting the description that the Greeks gave us of Amazons and warrior women.
You know, it is said that we Greeks are a fervent and warm blooded breed. Well, let me tell you something - it is true.
I do not read the ancient languages, but I am beginning to study Greek.
I envy those old Greek bathers, into whose hands were delivered Pericles, and Alcibiades, and the perfect models of Phidias. They had daily before their eyes the highest types of Beauty which the world has ever produced; for of all things that are beautiful, the human body is the crown.
Throughout the ages, stories with certain basic themes have recurred over and over, in widely disparate cultures; emerging like the goddess Venus from the sea of our unconscious.
I love the Greeks. There's no messing around - it's all do or die with them.
What has Athens to do with Jerusalem?
Save for the wild force of Nature, nothing moves in this world that is not Greek in its origin.
