EP01 - Dean and Peter launch a podcast for lovers of quirky Hellenic history and politics

Join Melbourne natives Dean and Peter as they delve into the seldom-explored facets of history and politics through the lens of the Greek community. These long-time friends and active members of Melbourne's vibrant Greek circle bring a unique mix of light-hearted banter, sharp wit, and thoughtful discussion. In this episode, the two ask and discuss: Why is Medea riding a chariot drawn by dragons? What is the significance of the "Riding Aristotle" statue that fascinated Europeans? What is the Italian in the Greek Anthem? Why did a Pontian leave Constantinople to build a library in Venice? Why did the lighting of the opera house for the 200 year anniversary of Greek Independence offend some people? What is the significance of "Three faces, two classes, one Greece"? What was EOK and the fight to free Cyprus from colonial oppression? and what is the significance of 1821 re-enactment of taking the oath?
