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!!

Maria Williams Date: 10/9/2024 2:42:00 AM Thank you MM, for your enlightening historic summation. I enjoy learning about these things. Our poetry friend Demetrios Trifiatis as you might know is also a professor of Greek history. Thank you for sharing . Maria Login to Reply Mulu Magdalinos Date: 10/9/2024 6:29:00 PM Thank you ,Maria

Sara Kendrick Date: 10/8/2024 6:08:00 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 Login to Reply

Tom Woody Date: 10/7/2024 6:04:00 AM Interesting historical write Mulu. Greece also plays an interesting role in Bible prophecy, though not in a good way, but as a conquering beast Login to Reply Tom Woody Date: 10/7/2024 8:59:00 AM Btw, that in no way is reflective of your excellent post, my friend Tom Woody Date: 10/7/2024 8:44:00 AM He was a bloodthirsty conqueror, just like all the rest Mulu Magdalinos Date: 10/7/2024 8:43:00 AM Alexander the Great the countries that conquered, he respected their civilizations and history, if you know that Alexander married a Persian woman, her name was ROXANY Even he ordered his soldiers to marry women of the conquered countries. He also bowed to chief priest of Jews Tom Woody Date: 10/7/2024 7:13:00 AM Interesting opinion, though totally in error. I suggest you research the conquests of Alexander, as well as the four competing generals who carved up his empire after his death Mulu Magdalinos Date: 10/7/2024 6:36:00 AM Tom ,Greece has never been conquering Greece has always transmitted light and culture.
