If you've ever seen the 1981 mythology movie, "Clash of the Titans" which was based on the myth of Perseus, then you can fathom the intensity at which Perseus had to go through in order to rescue Andromeda from the mighty Kraken. He even had to battle it out with the gorgon Medusa in order to use its head as a weapon against the Kraken. Well, it's with that same intensity that has Greeks battling it out amongst their own kind. It is an ego trip the likes of which you have never seen, or will ever see as long as you live on planet Earth; unless of course you miraculously transcend the boundary of atmosphere that separates mankind from the Gods - like the Greeks like to think they do. They even like to place themselves on the same pedestal as the gods. So, every time you see two Greek people on the street(or wherever else they may be) arguing over who's right and who's more right, then try to displace yourself for a moment and picture yourself on Mt. Olympus with thunderbolts clashing on all sides. And there in front of you in one corner you have 'mr-i-am-as-powerful-as-Zeus' and in the other corner 'mr-i-am-the-one-who-made-Zeus,' and then the tirade of words flash before you with vitriolic fumes emanating as each collide with one another. It only stops once the victor chokes the other with more vitriol. Now snap out of it and come back to reality! Did you feel the power? If you're ever the unfortunate person to witness such an event just do yourself a favor(and the world's as well) by giving them a wake-up call, and to snap out of whatever world they think they dwell on. But yet again, to do so would mean that you have balls the size of an elephant's with pepper spray smothered all over.
God Forbid: God forbid you should get caught between a 'who's-right-argument' - it would be like playing the game 'monkey in the middle.' You'll never succeed in intercepting or stopping the interchange of cataclysmic clashes; unless of course you reside on Mt. Olympus... Then be my guest.... Otherwise you'll actually end up turning into a monkey(metaphorically for dead) by the time they're done.
