Shenanigans at Mount Olympus

So, my family is Greek, and my grandmother, who grew up in Athens, was named Urania. And funnily enough, I’m now in university majoring in Astrophysics. I’ve always found that coincidence kind of funny and this is a cool aesthetic!

(Also, Urania is pronounced like Oo-rah-nee-uh, if anyone wonders)

Urania

Soldiers selected from among the most handsome, dewy-eyed conscripts perform an honor guard in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Syntagma Square and in front of the presidential palace on nearby Irodou Atikou Street. They stand motionless while performing the honor guard, with a change of position given to the ewzon every half hour.

Inside all of us are three Greeks: one from Sparta, one from Athens, and one from Athos. Two of them are gay and one is a virgin.
