Studying Ancient Greek in Greece with Ralston College was one of the best trips + learning experiences of my life. They've rescued pedagogy from the Renaissance to teach classical languages. Here are the unintuitive insights around language learning:

What an unforgettable night in Greece. 🇬🇷 My new book “In The Name Of Freedom” is now available in Greek. Greece reminds the world that freedom begins with the courage of citizens and the strength of democracy. Efcharistó. 🤍💙

Reading books where they were written has become my latest addiction. Hiking the trail Nietzsche used to while writing Zarathustra, and living where Machiavelli was exiled, have given me a far deeper understanding of their work. This addiction started with an amazing trip with Ralston College learning Ancient Greek in Greece…

This one is dedicated to all the mothers and sisters who’s sons and brothers won’t be lighting candles this Chanukah. We try to find the light of Chanukah this year in the darkness of tragedy and heart break. Our hearts once again united in pain, how do we move forward? We move forward with the infinite knowledge that we are the light. No matter how much darkness, the Jewish people will rise and shine through it just like the Menorah that shines through the destruction of the Temple. In the spirit of our ancestors, we draw down the light of ancient Maccabee warriors as we move forward into the light of Mosiach. #ancientchild #happychanuka #nowomannocry

So, sometimes, I like to watch no commentary walking tours on YT of cities I want to visit. This one in Mykonos, Greece is a fave. It begins in an alley facing the ocean with one of the most breathtaking views. And that quiet moment alone before getting to the bazaar 🤌🏾

"How to Read Ancient Poetry" is a new video series from the Ancient Language Institute (ALI), which introduces people to Latin and Ancient Greek poetry. ALI's mission is to aid students in their path to proficiency in ancient languages, to improve the way ancient languages are taught, and to foster a rebirth of the humanistic tradition. The "How to Read Ancient Poetry" videos train students in the meters used in Greek and Latin verse, illustrate historical reconstructions of ancient language pronunciation, and introduce the wide array of poets and poems from Classical antiquity. Joanna Thornhill is an Ancient Greek & Latin Fellow at the Ancient Language Institute. In this video, she walks students through a single line from Virgil's Aeneid: "Hīs ego nec mētās rērum nec tempora pōnō" (1.278).

My message to our movement: God is the author of life and death. We were not made to live in fear. He created us with the purpose to stand and fight. In 2020, when darkness covered the nation, Charlie said, “We’re going fifty times harder.” And that’s what he did. Now it’s our turn. Evil seeks to steal and destroy. We are called to bring truth and light. To our leaders, stand with those being targeted. It’s time to fight back. We are salt and light. Light does not retreat. It overcomes the darkness. Thank you for having me Bannon’s WarRoom

I’m inspired by the enduring economic power of the U.S.-Greece partnership. Bolstering American investments in Greece will strengthen security, promote prosperity, and build upon the goodwill between America and Greece. The Greek people are resilient. Over the last decade, Greece has defined itself by a determination to build an economy that’s growing better than ever before. Under the leadership of President Trump and in partnership with our Greek allies, I’m eager to serve as the next U.S. ambassador and deliver on an agenda committed to innovation, energy security, and robust economic growth.

Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias on local defense production: There is currently no program in the Greek Armed Forces that will not meet the 25%+ requirement. If there is ever an exception, it will be treated as a special case and explained separately. Our goal is to create a Greek defense ecosystem. That ecosystem will be built from two sources: existing Greek companies—including startups—and defense ecosystems that we bring from abroad to establish production in Greece. These companies will produce in Greece or co-produce with existing or new Greek companies.

‘’ The Realities of Modern Greece Modern Greece is not the direct continuation of ancient Greek civilization. It is an artificial buffer state created in the 19th century by the Great Powers (mainly Britain, Russia, and France) against the Ottoman Empire through political engineering. 1. Flag and Colors The blue color of the Greek flag comes from the first king, Otto, a Bavarian prince. The shade was chosen to reflect Bavarian blue. Some claim the striped design resembles the British East India Company flag. 2. Alphabet and Language The modern Greek alphabet and language were largely “revived” in the 19th century as part of nation-building. Ancient Greek had been a dead language for centuries, and the current form (Demotiki) was shaped artificially to create national identity. 3. National Heroes Many key heroes of the 1821 Greek War of Independence, such as Markos Botsaris and Theodoros Kolokotronis, were Arvanites — Orthodox Albanians. Their ethnic origin is largely Albanian, not ancient Greek. 4. Population and Ethnic Composition The people of modern Greece have no direct ethnic or genetic connection to the ancient Greeks. The population is a mix of Turks (especially Karamanlides from Anatolia), Albanians, Slavs, Macedonians, and other Balkan groups. 5. Artificial State Formation Greece was established in 1830 by the Great Powers as a buffer zone against the Ottomans. Its first king was a foreigner (Bavarian Otto), and the state was built according to foreign geopolitical interests rather than organic historical continuity. In summary: Modern Greece romantically claims ancient Hellenic heritage, but in reality it is a 19th-century construction — an ethnic mosaic of Albanians, Slavs, Christian Turks, and other Balkan peoples shaped by political engineering, not historical descent. ‘’
