25th March 1821 - Greek war of independence - Heroes

Percy Bysshe Shelley(1792-1822)
---
H E L L A S

THE world's great age begins anew, The golden years return,
The earth doth like a snake renew Her winter weeds outworn;
Heaven smiles, and faiths and empires gleam
Like wrecks of a dissolving dream.

A brighter Hellas rears its mountains From waves serener far;
A new Peneus rolls his fountains Against the morning star;
Where fairer Tempes bloom, there sleep
Young Cyclads on a sunnier deep.

A loftier Argo cleaves the main, Fraught with a later prize;
Another Orpheus sings again, And loves, and weeps, and dies;
A new Ulysses leaves once more
Calypso for his native shore.

O write no more the tale of Troy, If earth Death's scroll must be--
Nor mix with Laian rage the joy Which dawns upon the free,
Although a subtler Sphinx renew
Riddles of death Thebes never knew.

Another Athens shall arise, And to remoter time
Bequeath, like sunset to the skies, The splendour of its prime;
And leave, if naught so bright may live,
All earth can take or Heaven can give.

Saturn and Love their long repose Shall burst, more bright and good
Than all who fell, than One who rose, Than many unsubdued:
Not gold, not blood, their altar dowers,
But votive tears and symbol flowers.

O cease! must hate and death return? Cease! must men kill and die?
Cease! drain not to its dregs the urn Of bitter prophecy!
The world is weary of the past--
O might it die or rest at last!

Ο Φωτάκος για το Κρυφό σχολειό.

“Μόνοι τους οι Έλληνες εφρόντιζαν δια την παιδείαν, η οποία συνίστατο εις το να μαθαίνουν τα κoινά γράμματα, και ολίγην αριθμητικήν ακανόνιστον. Εν ελλείψει δε διδασκάλου ο ιερεύς φρόντιζε περί τούτου. Όλα αυτά εγίνοντο εν τω σκότει και προφυλακτά από τους Τούρκους.”

@Maylardim You must be on heroin and not just a retard "Turk", a half-breed that has NOTHING to do with the Turks of 11th century!

Go and celebrate Newroz as a "Turgay" fest that was forbodden 5 years ago because it's KURDISH and don't write about things that happen 1500 years before the Turks invaded to our lands, 500 years after the Slavs migrated to Greece.

Go and work in a European or American owned factory as a slave-worker for 500 liras!

Starve but be proud for the "Turkish"(lol) economy!

@Maylardim Traditionally, gays are divided into the active (laco) and the passive (lubunya). However a more recent and a more westernized culture is beginning to gain ground where no categorization is felt necessary.

[vabilas28]

@Maylardim But there is a general acceptance towards effeminate male entertainers. For example the most famous Turkish classical singer Zeki Muren is a latent, extremely flamboyant gay person, and has been so since 1950's or Bülent Ersoy, who is a very popular and has multi-million selling albums although being a transexual.Turkey has a macho culture, and this is reflected in gay attitudes:

[vabilas28]

@Maylardim pardon me. Homosexuality was a rooted tradition in the era of Ottoman Empire which lasted more than five centuries. It is known that some of the sultans had homosexual affairs and public Turkish baths (hammams) were the common meeting place among men. There were poets and musicians who were known to be homosexual. These traditions lost their power with the westernization of Turkey which came with the establishment of the Republic in 1923.

@Maylardim LOL LOL LOL. SEE YOU IN EU SOMETIME DURING THE 22ND CENTURY
