Agreed again, assuming you mean that they explained more clearly for men what the scripture had revealed

I do. Their gift (talent) for explanation is what is inspired. But they did not reveal the truth; they only clarified it for the common man to understand. Just as +Paul did. Althought he called it a "gospel" (his gospel no less!), it is not considered a "Gospel."

I don’t think we use the typikon of the Church of Greece, but rather that of the Great Church at Constantinople, but I could be wrong

I don't think they differ.

The Church of Greece is really part of the Patriarchate of Constantinople. The Archiepiscop of Greece is part of the EP's Synod.

“The Archiepiscop of Greece is part of the EP’s Synod.”

I don’t think so, Kosta. Greece is an autocephallous Church headed by an Archiepiscopal Synod.
