THE TAKING OF EYPON

AS ANY SCHOOLBOY KNOWS, the Greek mythological story about the rape of Europe is a part of our Greco-Roman and Judaeo-Christian heritage here in the civilised Western world. The details of this corny tale may not be quite so well divulged among scholars who never got into the depths of the stories invented by old Greek men who had nothing better to do but invent things to tell to others over a glass of wine.

THE ‘FACTS’ ARE, HOWEVER, that Europe – meaning “bright-eyed” or “startled” cow in classical Greek, was led forward “forcibly from the rear” by Zeus in the 8th century BC, in the guise of a bull, from Asia Minor to somewhere corresponding to Macedonia in an attempt to subdue her and stop her interfering with the serious issues of politics in Tyre (now Lebanon).

THERE ARE THOSE WHO ENJOY proclaiming that history repeats itself or is circular. And the realities of today suggest that Greece, the country that has historically let itself be known as the “birthplace of Europe”, “the cradle of democracy” and other such bland nonsense, is now about to be butt-fucked out of Europe due to the fact that it is still, three thousand years later, full of men who have nothing better to do but invent stories to tell each other over a glass of wine, this being particularly true of the Greek government and its economics experts, yet extending down to the postman and the bootblack. The only constant in this history is the regular sodomising of each other. And the lack of any will to work as long as someone gives them money to let them take things up their Asia Minor.
