Annual call for new members of the team:

[@byzantinetales]

Greeks existed in Crimea up until the 20th century. The surrounding area had a large greek presence with cities almost greek in character due to the policies of Catherine II. Odessa, Tangarog, Mariupol had thousands of Greeks living there.

[@a.j.fenwick7232]

The Greeks are an absolutely fascinating people. They truly are one of the eternal leaders of humanity. The things they managed to achieve at the zenith(s) of their civilization(s) are quite remarkable, and there have been so many iterations of prominent Hellenic civilization that I am left wondering whether we will bear witness to another rise some time in the future. Probably not in our lifetime. Regardless, what a history.

[@Fenniks-]

Please do the Greek colonies of the Western Mediterranean such as Massalia really interesting stuff :)

[@CommieRaptor]

The Bosporian kingdom was the first and the last hellenistic state, that is most interesting fact about it)

[@drmnc1]

The relationship with the Romans didn't stop there as Justinian II spent his exile in Crimea (a story worthy of an episode in itself!)

[@serbianstallion8321]

History of other European nations is laughable when compared to Greek except maybe Italian history.

[@CliveBurr4]

The empire of Trapezounta survived even 50 years after the fall of the Byzantine Empire and there are strill Greeks living in Crimea today who never left.

[@georgistanchev8312]

Guys do you even differ thracian and grek names . 50% of the rulers were from thracian descent. They both are hellenic but not greek

[@Zoey--]

"Asander married his daughter Dynamis." So they were playing CK2 classical edition?

[@stehfreejesseah7893]

Many Bosporans died to bring us this information.

[@earthenjadis8199]

"Do you want to know about the Bosporan Kingdom?"

[@HistoryTime]

I was just reading about the giant kurgans in the Crimea! Fascinating

[@rafail2303]

Greek history is truly one of best

[@locatemarbles]

All kinds of peoples: "Crimea belongs to us!"

[@Veriox22]

Russians: Crimea is russian!

[@johnkar9657]

You touch aspects of the ancient greek world that others don't even know.... I am amazed

[@dimitris_lev.8947]

-How much history you want to leave behind you?

[@innosanto]

The music used is actually ancient Greek.

[@panagiotisgardounis962]

The music displayed is the Seikilos Epitaph, the oldest Greek music ever to be discovered.Seikilos lived around 200 BC in Tralleis, Asia Minor, modern day Turkey.He wrote this sing on the tomb of his wife... "As you live, joy//don't you be sorry at all//living is for a little time// the end is demanded by time..."
