Well, as somebody who read the book “Eleni,” I have a somewhat less favorable opinion about the Greeks during WWII.

In all my days I never thought I would see anyone mention that book on here. As soon as I saw the title of the post I thought of “Eleni” and was saying, “Yeah, maybe they weren’t invaded, but they sure threw their own people under the bus.” I can remember when “Eleni” was required reading in many conservative circles.

You are confusing them with the communists who tried to use WW II as a cover to take over in post WW II.

Remember the comunists tried to take Greece when people were at their most miserable.

Not least for the inspiration that it has drawn pursuing human excellence throughout history...

Looks like they missed that bit about the Peloponnesian War. And as you've pointed out, WWII didn't exactly showcase the finer side of Gree kcivilization and humanitarian outlook, did it?
