    As a Greek having lived in Greece for 20 years I can definitely say that Greeks are some of the most antagonistic people you can meet but also some of the most fearless. They can be your best friends or your worst enemies. If it wasn't for these internal conflicts there might not have been a Roman Empire to take over. Alexander the Great reigned for 13 years and he probably is the only one who managed to unite Greeks. All of the Διάδοχοι (Diadochi) conflicts will put Game of Thrones to shame.
