The most finest and bravest race in history. Alexander the Great's and Hercule's race. A race which have put an early end to arabic/ottoman invasions targetting europe and its culture.

Grecians or Greeks are the race that started it all.
Nothing to do with what Americans
want to portray as Greece (souvlaki, tzatziki,ouzo etc.)
The average Greek has an IQ of 125 whereas
the average American has an IQ of 90.
Many NASA, CIA, FBI, and NSA top executives are of Greek
descent.
The Greek and Hebrew lobbies are the most powerful
influential lobbies in the USA.
Greece is always the underdog that comes up at the top at
the end.

Two definitions apply
a) A highly sophisticated Hellenic culture during the classical era of European history. Produced Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, Pythagoras, Archimedes (in the then Greek colony of Sicily), Diogenes, and eventually Alexander the great. Also the inventors of Democracy. They spoke a vibrant language that is still studied today in order to read their beautiful poetry and profound philosophy.
b) A group of hairy, backwards thinking male chauvinists and large, overprotective mothers who insist on reminding their children twice a day that "there are only two kinds of people, those who are Greek and them that wish they was Greek' which they probably stole from 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' which by the way is one of the 4 to 9 films they’ve ever watched.

My Greek Friend: “Hey, do you guys wanna see a movie?”
Me: “Sure, how bout that new Spielberg film”
Greek friend's mother: (suddenly appearing from behind a corner and telling us in a wise voice and completely without precedent) “There are only two types of people, them that are Greek and them that wish they was Greek.” (Greek mother returns to her moping as Greek father returns home from his job at Parthenon Plumbers or whatever pseudo-classical name he's given his place of business and demand his lunch.)

The smartest people god ever put on this earth.Born to drink ouzo and eat lots of food. Have the best looking women, and can cook better than any other culture or race. Born to despise and hate any piece of skata from the country of Turkey. All around, the best people to ever exist.
A greek is a person is someone who is able to say their people, present and past, are gods most perfect creations.

an ancient and very misunderstood people from the eastern mediterranean coast. proud, stubborn, intelligent and yet had in ancient times a penitence to fight and destroy there own culture once a generation, then take another generation to rebuild just to fight again.
a people who created many things and technologies, and improved inventions now lost to history and time, no longer known who had built them to. most think it was the Greeks, but in the end no one can tell.
the Greeks are misunderstood as being a homosexual and bisexual race in the past, and this misconception has made it's way to the present. contrary to this popular belief, theses practices were frowned on by ancient Greek culture. there are few mentions of it, true that men and woman did live apart. but except for a small hand full of know practitioners of this sex act. ( alexander being the most famous) it is no different then many other cultures in the region. including Egypt, Italy, and even palestine. the allegations baring totally onto the backs of the Greeks are mostly anti Greek propaganda from enemies of the city state looking to justify the destruction of the Greek on the grounds of morality.
the Greeks today are A proud and wonderful people. they love life and food. good wine and parties. they love family and friends and keeping honer in the eyes of the world around them. they are quick to anger, but quicker to forgive. they are a kind and giving people, and contrary to popular belief, they do not hate the Turks as much as they hated the ottoman's who had forced Greeks to bow down and convert to Islam. those who did not convert fought back and won there freedom. those who did not fight and did convert became the Turks. so the truth is in the end that the Turks and the Greeks are one and the same people. only one side for one reason or another could not coup with shariah law and converted. one fought to the death and won there freedom. most don't even know that most of the population of turkey are not even descendants of the original invading force. most of the invaders went back home. what was left behind was a country of converted Greeks who had lost there way, history, and rightful place along the side of a people who made the world what it is today.
to hate the Greeks, past, present or future is to hate humanity and the world they live in. Greeks can be arrogant, and very proud. but they can also be brutally honest. if you don't want to know the truth, never ask a Greek.

history is full of wonder, carved into stone by the hands of the greeks.
never turn your back on a greek in anger. they prefer to face you.
beware of greeks baring gifts.

1. Person, concept or idea originating from Greece, a small but historically important mediterranean country.
2. Incomprehensible (originates from the fact that the Ancient Greek literature was considered high learning and thus incomprehensible to common mortals)
3. Term for a homosexual (originates from the fact that the ancient greeks seem to have been tolerant and accepting of homosexual and bisexual relationships)
