🔴 Turkish Government Agency "Anadolu" claims Greece pushed back 6000 illegals back into Turkey and stole their money, food and jewelry
>https://archive.is/9uRaQ
🔸 "Illegal migrants face the harsh sea and weather conditions in the Aegean Sea, where they board improvised boats, lifeboats and boats that exceed their capacity, as well as the mistreatment of the Greek authorities (…) The illegal immigrants are pushed back into Turkish territorial waters by the Greek coast guards with boats with disassembled engines, and with their valuables taken, such as money and jewelry, as well as food. Turkey extends a hand of life to migrants who have almost been left to die" - Anadolu provocatively mentions, distorting reality once again
‼️ According to the data presented, but which are disputed by the Greek authorities in the last eight months (Jan - Aug) of 2021, 5,934 illegal immigrants were "repelled" , who tried to cross into Greek territorial waters, mainly from Smyrna

Leto and Her Children, Apollo and Artemis 1870; carved 1874
Leto, in classical mythology, a Titan, the daughter of Coeus and Phoebe, and mother of the god Apollo and the goddess Artemis. The chief places of her legend were Delos and Delphi. Leto, pregnant by Zeus, sought a place of refuge to be delivered. She finally reached the barren isle of Delos, which, according to some, was a wandering rock borne about by the waves until it was fixed to the bottom of the sea for the birth of Apollo and Artemis. The wanderings of Leto were ascribed to the jealousy of Zeus’s wife, Hera, who was enraged at Leto’s bearing Zeus’s children. The foundation of Delphi followed immediately upon the birth of Apollo. Leto has been plausibly identified with the Lycian goddess Lada; she was also known as a goddess of fertility and as Kourotrophos (Rearer of Youths).

🔸 The incident happened on Friday (17/09). According to the information, a Turkish warship that was sailing in international waters, very close to Crete, called the crew of "Nautical Geo" to the radio, claiming that the ship is moving in an area of Turkish continental shelf and asked to be removed from the area. This process is known as consensus hailing and provoked the diplomatic reaction of the Greek government
🔸 With the hailing made by the Turkish warship on a research ship that was licensed by the Greek government just a few miles east of Crete, Turkey is trying to give substance to the illegal Turkish-Libyan EEZ deal

Marble sarcophagus with the myth of Selene and Endymion, 3rd century AD.
The moon goddess, Selene, falls in love with Endymion. He is said to be a shepherd, a hunter, or a king. Selene visited her sleeping love in the night as she rode her moon chariot across the night sky. She would come down to earth just to be with the beautiful Endymion.
Or else, looking down on thee from the starry heavens, the orb Selene the moon that was born after the old Arcadians will lose control of her white-shining car [for love of a rustic, like Endymion]. And lately she blushed fiery red, though no staining cloud obscured her bright face
– Seneca, Phaedra 786
Selene wished to be with Endymion forever so she asked Zeus to grant her lover eternal sleep so that she may visit him every night.
Endymion a man of unrivalled beauty, he was loved by Selene. When he was given a wish of his choice by Zeus, he chose to remain immortal and unaging in eternal sleep.
– Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 1. 56

Responding to @brussinf's post about an anti-NATO protest held in Athens, the majority of the protestors belong to leftist organizations, being them KKE (Greek Communist Party), EEDYE (Greek Committee for International Détente and Peace), OGE (Federation of Greek Women) and students' unions.
Their slogan was "Neither soil nor water to the murderers of the people". These groups are usually a minority in Greece, in general anything that is strongly Anti-American can be associated with the KKE or their offshoot organizations.
Most Greeks are indeed against NATO, but mostly because of NATO's positioning regarding Turkey. Good examples of that were of 2020's Evros crisis in March and the growing Turkish provocations with NAVTEX exercises and open war threats against Greece, which prompted NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg to propose a "military de-confliction mechanism" of which he was very proud to propose and even said both countries had agreed to it before anything had been officially discussed
Obviously the bureaucratic move of having a de-confliction mechanism had no effect, with the only consequence of it being that Turkey was not even criticized by Mr. Jens who always talks about negotiations and diplomacy instead. Given that Turkey does not follow international law regarding maritime zones (UNCLOS), Greece so far is the only country with something to lose even if such negotiations never reach a conclusion since Turkey never stops its provocations such as Hailing a research ship (Nautical Geo) near Crete last week claiming it was within the Turkish Continental Shelf and asking the ship to leave
Greeks have indeed been growing more skeptic of certain things, the anti-EU and anti-immigration sentiments have been growing in recent years due to the problems caused by both, be that of EU ineptitude regarding immigration or of their blatant protection of Turkey, avoiding to sanction them or even proposing more economic deals despite Turkey's aggressive behavior towards Greece and other European countries such as France, Cyprus and Austria
NATO so far is not seen negatively by most Greeks since there are benefits to it such as military deals and also because immigration has become a much bigger problem in the eyes of most people, with the Government Spending a lot more money to maintain illegal immigrants than it does with military not to mention the wave of crimes and other social problems caused by it

🔴 A fire broke out at the Vathi immigrant camp in the island of Samos, the camp was immediately evacuated and the illegal immigrants will be transferred to the new camp of Zervou

🔸 Thevery coincidental fire broke out last night (19/09), one day before the transfer of the illegal immigrants living in the camp to the new camp of Zervou
👨🏾🦱 The Vathi camp officially housed over 4.5k illegal immigrants
🟢 What most likely happened is that the transfer process was gradual and would take several weeks to transfer all illegal immigrants to Zervou, so the illegals burned the camp to make sure the transfer would be faster and to remind the government that if they dont get what they want, the new camp will also burn just as what happened to Moria and now Vathi

A Roman copy of a Greek original depicting Goddess Selene - the original was from the early 4th century BC., while this piece is from early imperial times.
She is wearing a chiton and her himation forms the billowing shape behind her. The attributes that confirms her identification is, apart from the raised cloak, the crescent moon on her head the torch in her hand (it might look like the sheath for a dagger, but it's not - but the flame itself is gone).
Selene was the Greek moon goddess (her Roman equivalent was Luna), the daughter of Hyperion and Theia, and the sister of Helios (the sun) and Eos (the dawn). In Classical times she was often identified with Artemis (and in Rome, Diana).
