Crimea Is Greece

Tom Belton brought to my attention the writings of Dr. Spyros Konidaris, who establishes the fact that Greece has a claim on Crimea that predates Putin's claim by several thousand years. You probably remember that Iphigenia, the daughter of King Agamemnon, was about to be sacrificed when Artemis intervened and saved her life. Artemis transported Iphigenia to Crimea (then known as Tauris). At that point Iphigenia became Crimea's High Priestess. Soon after, her little brother, Orestes, came to Crimea to escape from the Furies, who still resented his murder of his slutty mother, Clytaemnestra. No doubt you remember the account of this royal family as reported by Euripedes. What you might not recall is that, much earlier, Hercules had come to Crimea to teach the natives how to plow their soil with a giant ox (taurus, in Greek). Crimea is Greece; Putin, go home. I say no more.
