Greece and Ethiopia

 Greece and Ethiopia have had  unwavering and unbroken
        bonds of friendship since ancient times.
Greece is the land of freedom and democracy, also  one of the pillars
of worldwide civilization in all sectors
{philosophy, poetry , art etc.}
The great ancient Greek poet HOMER is frequently refereed to Ethiopia
in his masterpiece ILIAD. 
Even the name  Ethiopia comes from an ancient Greek word
{Aithiops} which means  a sun-burnt face.
The source of the blue NILE is in Ethiopia, the only country
in Africa which was never colonized by western powers, with 
its own ancient  language:{Amharic} and history.
The predominant religion of Ethiopia is Christianity which was propagated
by Apostol Mathias.        God Bless Greece and Ethiopia!!

Sara Kendrick October 8, 2024 at 6:08 AM Thank you for the historical information. I never knew that Mathias was instrumental in bringing the Christian message to Ethiopia. I thought he disappeared off the scene after he was appointment to be a disciple. Sara K
