I am most familiar with four “historical” Greek tragedies. Biblical tragedies are too mythical at this time to make the case at hand. It is time for a little reality check for all the minds that are long brain-washed in the West. The pertinent question now is if next Greek tragedy avoidable or not, under the circumstances. If not, it will be the fifth in 1000 years, and all in the hands of Turks.
AN ANATOLIAN THEATER
Here is what I don’t trust Google entry says when I type: “Greek Tragedy.”
Greek tragedy is a form of theatre from Ancient Greece and Greek inhabited Anatolia. It reached its most significant form in Athens in the 5th century BC, the works of which are sometimes called Attic tragedy.
Greek tragedy is widely believed to be an extension of the ancient rites carried out in honor of Dionysus, and it heavily influenced the theatre of Ancient Rome and the Renaissance. Tragic plots were most often based upon myths from the oral traditions of archaic epics.
In tragic theatre, however, these narratives were presented by actors. The most acclaimed Greek tragedians are Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. These tragedies often explored many themes of human nature, mainly as a way of connecting with the audience but also as way of bringing the audience into the play.
Greek Tragedy Avoidable Or Not
Four To Note
This set of next few posts on Greece has nothing to do with biblical or historical Greek tragedies. Rather they are about present in light of a potential looming tragedy.
For the sake of avoiding the next Greek tragedy it is now worth revisiting history briefly. Unfortunately, Greek tragedy is nowadays a possibility, becoming a probability.
Byzantines (Greeks) are some of the first Christians that faced Turks (Seljuqs) when they were holding the gates to the Western Civilization in Asia for the Old Continent.
Greeks endured four major tragedies in the past nine centuries. They became epic defeats in biblical proportions with credence to the myths in the Anatolian theaters.
1071 Battle of Manzikert
The Seljuq Turks, led by the sultan Alp-Arslan, defeated the Byzantines under the emperor Romanus IV Diogenes, on 26 August 1071. The decisive defeat in the Battle of Manzikert or Malazgirt and the capture of the Emperor Romanos IV Diogenes played an important role in undermining Byzantine authority in Anatolia and Armenia. It allowed for the gradual Turkification of Anatolia.
1453 Fall of Constantinople
The fall of Constantinople, also known as the conquest of Constantinople, was the capture of the capital of the Byzantine Empire by the Ottoman Empire. Conqueror, Fatih Sultan Mehmet, entered the city on 29 May 1453, only after a 53-day siege. He was 21 years old. He put an end to a 1058 year old empire and also ended the Middle Ages with this conquest.
1922 Battle of Dumlupinar
Also known as the Field Battle of the Commander-in-Chief because Mustafa Kemal Ataturk led Turks to the final victory. It was the last battle in the Greco-Turkish War fought from 26 to 30 August 1922 in Dumlupinar, Turkiye. Ensuing Armistice of Mudanya, signed between Turkey and Italy, France, and Britain on the other hand, on 11 October 1922, liberated modern Turkiye from foreign forces when the Kingdom of Greece also acceded.
1974 Cyprus War
The Turkish forces landed in Cyprus on 20 July and captured 3% of the island before a ceasefire was declared. The military junta collapsed in Greece and was replaced by a civilian government. Following the breakdown of peace talks, Turkish forces enlarged their original beachhead in August 1974. They captured approximately 36% of the island. The ceasefire line from August 1974 became the United Nations Buffer Zone in Cyprus. In 1983, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) declared independence.
Greek Tragedy Avoidable Or Not
For those who live in oblivion in the West, Globalist folly ending up with a Greek tragedy is a journey in the making.
Now that I listed the other four epic defeats and we have another half a century to go to complete the 1000 year encounter with Alp-Arslan, let’s avoid the fifth tragedy!
Stayed tuned! Details will be technical so that those who are kept uninformed in the West, by the powers to be, can pose the right questions to their elected officials.
Meanwhile, please take this is a public service!
Just to save everyone from another “Greek Tragedy” in “biblical proportions” in these modern times for the sake of not repeating history!
