What does it mean to be Greek?

A simple question that asks from all the Greeks, what does it actually mean to be Greek?

What are the values?
What do you need to understand?
What do you need to believe?
Do you need to speak a specific language?
Do you need to be a certain faith?
Do you need to have a certain ancestry?
What qualifies you as a Greek?
Who can be accepted to be Greek?

This is not a hate video, so all hating comments might be deleted. All I want is an honest answer. THAT'S IT. No proof, no evidence, no nothing. Just a simple, honest and personal view.

    Well to be Macedonian means to be a Doric Greek.

    Of course, NO CONNECTION with you people from the

    so-called 'Former Yugoslav Republic of macedonia' (FYROM),

    who are a mish-mash, hotch-potch, riff-raff, bunch of

    Serbian-Bulgarians, Albanians, Turks, and Gypsies

    who have re-named themselves 'macedonian',and have got

    the audacity to to try and connect themselves with the

    ancient Doric Greek tribe of Macedonians.

  • @HaggisMacfee To be greek means to be liar, thief and gay! But to be Macedonian, it`s something different!

  • @TopNewStory

    [N G L Hammond, Professor of Greek

    / Fellow of the British Academy]

    "As members of the Greek race, and speakers

    of the Greek language, the ancient Macedonians shared

    the ability to initiate ideas and create political forms."

    (1992) 'The Miracle that was Macedonia

  • @TopNoobNewStory

    [Bury and Meiggs (1985) 'A History of Greece' p.415]

    "The Macedonian people and their Kings

    were of Greek stock, as their traditions and

    the scanty remains of their language combine

    to testify."

  • @HaggisMacfee

  • @TopNoobNewStory

  • In other words to be Greek is to be the descendants

    of the ancient Greek tribes of Macedonians, Spartans,

    Corinthians, Boeotians, Thebans, Locrians, Cretans,

    Aetolians, Athenians ,etc, etc, etc,

    That is Aeolians, Ionians, Dorians.

    Hi there Serbian Bulgarian. I understand that's what the latest DNA .

    study on you FYRM's says. No surprises there.

    Well you should be able to read that, you speak

    Bulgarian anyway.

    [Professor Donald Kagan, Yale University USA]

    "We kniow the ancient macedonians

    were fundamentally GREEKS, that is to say

    they were GREEK speakers and ethnically they

    were GREEKS."
