Hundreds of protesters clashed with riot police across central Athens on Wednesday, smashing cars and hurling gasoline bombs during a nationwide labour protest against the government's latest austerity measures. The former Minister for Development Kostis Hatzidakis was attacked by protesters outside a luxury hotel. He was escorted, bleeding from the scene as his attackers yelled "thieves" at him.

The Battle For Attica Square - Greece
uploader: WatchdogofAllah

uploader’s comment:
A cruel reality of how immigrants find their way to the land of milk and honey called Europe. It seems that only Greece is guarding the border on the south eastern frontier of Europe. Instead of helping economies of poor and underdeveloped countries. we letting them come to Europe.Also how it is possible that rich oil producing countries in the Middle East won't help their own. They have money to sponsor Mosques around the world but not to develop their own countries and it's neighbours which with whom they share the same "religion"

I've been in several different magazines, such as PC World and CPU Magazine. I'm not stranger to the pages of a magazine, but this is something completely different - even for me! This magazine is Glamour Magazine... the September 2009 issue. But, before you head to your newsstand to pick one up, let me warn you that it's from Greece. Save yourself the embarrassment thumbing through Glamour here in America. It won't do you any good.

Δίσκος: "Συλλογή" 1974
Στίχοι: Νίκος Γκάτσος
Μουσική: Σταύρος Ξαρχάκος
Πρώτη εκτέλεση: Νίκος Ξυλούρης
Παλικάρι Στα Σφακιά

Έβαλε ο Θεός σημάδι
παλικάρι στα Σφακιά
κι ο πατέρας του στον Άδη
άκουσε μια τουφεκιά.

Της γενιάς μου βασιλιά,
μην κατέβεις τα σκαλιά.
Πιες αθάνατο νερό
να νικήσεις τον καιρό.

Έβαλε ο Θεός σημάδι
παλικάρι στα Σφακιά
κι η μανούλα του στον Άδη
τράβηξε μια χαρακιά.

Της καρδιάς μου βασιλιά
με τον ήλιο στα μαλλιά,
μην περνάς τη χαρακιά
η ζωή είναι πιο γλυκιά

 Palikari Sta Sfakia

 The God set target on
 a palikari* in Sfakia*
 and his father in Hades*
 heard a shot.

 King of my ancestry,
 don't get down the steps.
 Drink undying water
 to win the days.

 The God set target on
 a palikari* in Sfakia*
 and his mammy in Hades*
 draw a cut.

 My heart's king
 with the sun on the hair,
 don't cross the cut-line
 life is more sweet.

* Hades: Underworld, where dead go.

SWEDEN's Sabaton, Coat of Arms (Hellas [Greece]) - ENG and GR lyrics
uploader: Orthodoxcrusader

blog’s comment:
That dawn, envoy arrives
Morning of October 28th
No day, proven by deed
Descendence of Sparta,
Athens and Crete

Look north, ready to fight
Enemies charge from the hills
To arms, facing defeat
There's no surrender,
there's no retreat

Time after time,
force their enemies back to the line

Call to Arms banners fly in the wind,
For the glory of Hellas
Coat of Arms reading freedom or death,
Blood of king Leonidas

Air raid, pounding the land
Bombers are flying both day and night
Endure, six days of rain
Dropped by invaders,
bomb raid in vain

Strike hard, the tables have turned,
Drive them back over the hills
At arms, just like before,
Soldiers, civilians, Hellas at war

By their own hand,
forced their enemy out of their land

Call to Arms banners fly in the wind,
For the glory of Hellas
Coat of Arms reading freedom or death,
Blood of king Leonidas

Just like their ancestors ages ago
Fought in the face of defeat
Those three hundred men left a pride to uphold
Freedom or death in effect

Then, now again
Blood of heroes saving their land

Call to Arms banners fly in the wind,
For the glory of Hellas
Coat of Arms reading freedom or death,
Blood of king Leonidas (x2)
 Εκείνη την αυγή, φτάνει απεσταλμένος
 Πρωί 28ης Οκτωβρίου
 Η μέρα του Όχι, με κατοχύρωση
 Απόγονοι της Σπάρτης,
 Αθήνας και Κρήτης

 Κοιτάνε βόρεια, έτοιμοι να πολεμήσουν
 Εχθροί ορμούν απ’τους λόφους
 Στα όπλα! Αντιμέτωποι στην ήττα
 Δεν υπάρχει παράδοση
 Δεν υπάρχει οπισθοχώρηση

 Χρόνο με το χρόνο
 σπρώχνουν τους εχθρούς τους πίσω στη γραμμή

 Σινιάλα «Στα Όπλα» ανεμίζουν
 Για τη δόξα της Ελλάδας
 Σημαίες γράφουν «Ελευθερία ή Θάνατος»
 Συγγενείς (αίμα) του βασιλιά Λεωνίδα

 Αεροπλάνα σφυροκοπάνε την γη
 Βομβαρδιστικά πετάνε μέρα και νύχτα
 Αντέχουν 6 μέρες βροχής
 Από τους εισβολείς πέφτουν
 Μάταια οι βόμβες

 Χτυπήστε σκληρά, άλλαξαν τα πράγματα
 Σπρώχτε τους πίσω πέρα από τους λόφους
 Στα όπλα, ακριβώς όπως και πριν
 Στρατιώτες, πολίτες, η Ελλάς σε πόλεμο

 Με το ίδιο τους το χέρι
 έδιωξαν τον εχθρό έξω από την γη τους

 Σινιάλα «Στα Όπλα» ανεμίζουν
 Για τη δόξα της Ελλάδας
 Σημαίες γράφουν «Ελευθερία ή Θάνατος»
 Συγγενείς του Βασιλιά Λεωνίδα

 Όπως και οι πρόγονοι τους γενιές πριν
 Πάλεψαν απέναντι στην ήττα
 Αυτοί οι 300 κληροδότησαν μια αξία
 Ελευθερία ή Θάνατος στ’αλήθεια

 Μετά, τώρα ξανά
 Αίμα ηρώων σώζουν την χώρα τους

 Σινιάλα «Στα Όπλα» ανεμίζουν
 Για τη δόξα της Ελλάδας
 Σημαίες γράφουν «Ελευθερία ή Θάνατος
 Απόγονοι του Βασιλιά Λεωνίδα
