I am trying to learn more about Greek history. This is a family project! What I am learning about now is Greece's involvement in WWI. From what I've gathered, Greece had a rather complex and interesting stance during World War I, but I'm looking for more in-depth information.

Could anyone here provide insights or point me towards resources that detail:

  1. Greece's political climate leading up to its involvement in WWI.
  2. The significance of the National Schism and how it affected Greece's participation.
  3. Key battles or military campaigns that Greek forces were involved in.
Thanks so much!
 
I have a recommendation of some books you can read:
  • "The Battle of Crete: The History of the Battle that Ensured Nazi Germany's Defeat in Greece" by Charles River Editors.
  • "Inside Hitler's Greece: The Experience of Occupation, 1941-44" by Mark Mazower.
  • "The Cretan Runner: His Story of the German Occupation" by George Psychoundakis.
  • "Greece, 1941-1949: From Resistance to Civil War" by Eleni Fourtouni.
These give a pretty good overview!

Are you looking for anyone specifically?
 
Inside Hitlers Greece was a very thorough book with lots of information.

What made Athenian democracy so revolutionary?

I’ve been reading about ancient Athens and keep coming back to how groundbreaking their democracy must have been for its time. The idea that ordinary citizens, not just nobles or warriors—could directly participate in decision-making seems incredible in a world otherwise ruled by kings and empires.

But I’m curious what exactly made it so revolutionary. Was it the concept of equality before the law (isonomia)? The idea of the ekklesia, where any male citizen could speak and vote? Or was it the sheer civic culture Athens developed, where politics was almost a daily responsibility?

Of course, it wasn’t perfect: women, slaves, and foreigners were excluded. Yet somehow, this system still shaped political thought for millennia afterward.

For those who know Greek history well, what do you think truly set Athenian democracy apart? Was it the structure, the philosophy behind it, or the way it changed civic identity forever?

Analyzing Greece in World War I

I recently got into a discussion with some family members about Greece’s role in World War I, and it made me realize I don’t fully understand what happened.

From what I gather, Greece was pretty divided at the time, especially between King Constantine I and Eleftherios Venizelos, but I’m a little unclear on how that actually played out in terms of alliances and decisions.

Was Greece officially neutral at first? And how did it eventually end up joining the war on the Allied side?

I’ve also heard the term “National Schism” come up in this context—how significant was that in shaping Greece’s involvement?

If anyone has a clear way of explaining this period, or can point out the key events to focus on, I’d really appreciate it. It feels like an important piece of history I should understand better.

How historically important was the Oracle of Delphi?

I’m planning to visit Delphi on my next trip to Greece, and before I go, I’d really love to understand just how historically important the Oracle truly was. I know the basics, that the Pythia delivered prophecies and that people came from all over the ancient world to consult her, but I’m curious about the deeper significance.

How much influence did the Oracle actually have on political decisions, wars, and city-state alliances? Did leaders really base major strategies on these prophecies, or is that exaggerated in modern retellings? I’ve read that even foreign rulers sought guidance there, which makes me wonder how far Delphi’s reputation stretched beyond Greece itself.

For those who’ve studied ancient Greek history, religion, or archaeology: How central was the Oracle to Greek life, and why was it considered the “navel of the world”?

Transition from myth to recorded history in Greece?

I’ve been thinking about the transition from myth to recorded history in Greece, and where that shift really begins.

So much of what we associate with early Greek history comes to us through myth, stories of gods, heroes, and epic events that clearly weren’t meant as factual records, yet still carry cultural and historical weight. At some point, though, we start seeing attempts to document events, places, and people in a more deliberate way.

I’m curious how others understand this transition. Do you see myth and history as clearly separate phases, or more as overlapping ways of explaining the world? Figures like Homer, Hesiod, and later historians seem to sit somewhere in between storytelling and record-keeping.

What do you think prompted the move toward written history? Was it political organization, trade, literacy, or something else entirely? And how much of myth do you think still shaped the way early historians understood and recorded their past?

ancient Greek circumflex: tilde vs. inverted breve

Apparently (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_diacritics) tilde and inverted breve are equivalent circumflex diacritics, but I have never come across the tilde in online ancient Greek texts. I would like to be able to type the inverted breve. The excellent program https://typegreek.com/ apparently does not allow this. Is there another program or procedure form doing this? Thanks in advance.
