The history of Hellas in as few words as possible

At your own risk. Everything below may be wrong. Please do your own search.



The word Hellas comes form Ελλας, which comes from Σελλας which means giving light. Hence stellar, solar etc.


It is possibly no coincidence that the first letter is Σ or in English S. Perhaps they knew or felt that light is an electromagnetic wave, ie back and forth oscillation of an electric field creating a similar oscillating magnetic field creating a similar oscillating electric field etc moving in space at the speed of light. It is possibly no coincidence that the Fourier analysis of Σ has high harmonics as there are edges to the symbol Σ. The ssss sound contains so many frequencies that it is like white noise. It may not be a coincidence that a sinewave is written with S. That sound starts with S, signal with s, Σημα with Σ or Σίγμα etc.


Hellas lost wars and at some point became Roman, then Byzantine Christian, then Automan Empire Turkish then back Christian and after world war 2 under the influence of US.


Up to around 300 after Christ philosophers were chased and forced to escape either to Persia (Iran) or Europe. They played of course their part in the Renaissance which of course never happened in what is now called Greece.


Ancient statues were destroyed as they symbolized the 12 gods of Olympus and not the 12 apostles. In short the PR department had changed heads.


Churches were built on top of ancient temples.


Making love, the human body were associated with guilt, and the prohibition or so called sin lead to sex black market as usually happens. It can be seen today in every advertisement showing a woman with semi naked body. It sells. Well it used to. It is great that things are changing. Old times were about exploiting as much of petroleum oil as soon as possible. The future may be different for example being happy under the sun in real time.


It is not a fault of public relations departments. They are very ingenious and do their best. Many times they are frightened.


It is up to the people to choose what to believe, to become better, to be free.
