Well you did mention the OED, which confused them big time. Lol

"Non illegitimi....." and all that

By the way. What happened to our signatures at the foot of the posts?

I've scrutinised the section of classical Greece at my local library.

I've scoured the internet on Greek history.

I even asked my local priest...

... but I've yet to find any evidence of any impact of classical Greece on the Kalamares (or the Greek wannabes of Cyprus).

By the way.

1. If you were a Cypriot you would know the word is "Kalamaraes" not Kalamares.
2. You would also know that "Kalamaras" stands for the educated person from Greece (have you ever heard of "χαρτί και καλαμάρι" "Cypriot"?)
I, as a Cypriot, would never use that term to distinguish the mainland Greeks from the Greeks of Cyprus. Because it would be like distinguishing between the educated and the uneducated. I would not degrade my fellow Cypriots like that. Capisce, "Cypriot"?

Any explanation? I was away for some time.

Probably due to frequent violation of this rule:

what nobody is yet sure of is the extent to which what is purveyed as Classical Greek knowledge is based on earlier ideas frorm the older civilisations of the Tigris and Euphrates area.

Why, they didn't teach you that at Oxford University? Strange!!!!!!

not strange atall....

Precisely. Because there was nothing to teach on the issue. Just your wishful thinking. And what astonishes me is how come an Oxford man like you uses guess work and wishful thinking to contradict proven historical facts. Well, I suppose, for some, every method can be used as long as it is to degrade Hellenism.
