Symbolism
The Vergina Sun – the sunburst design is normally associated with the ancient Hellenic kingdom of Macedonia, which united the Hellenic city-states and kingdoms into a united identity against the threat of ancient Persia. The design has been used in Hellenic art throughout the ancient Hellenic world being found in Athens, Thrace, Corfu and across the Middle East. Whether or not it was the official emblem of the Argead dynasty that ruled Macedonia is unclear. What is known is that it held a religious meaning representing the Twelve Gods of Olympus and the four elements.
The Meander- a decorative element in Hellenic art and architecture. It takes it name from the Maeander River and is sometimes known as meandros. The Meander was an important symbol in ancient Greece and symbolized infinity and unity. The symbol was used widely on Hellenic temples and on Hellenic vases and even the shield of Philip II of Macedon.

1)can nationalism be considered "healthy" ??
2)When educating do you feel that nationalism, as it originally came from Hitler's Nazi's, has any place to stand in Greece, given the fact that Nazis that you admire have murdered thousands of Greek citizens?
3) how sorry and pathetic can a person in greece, call himself a greek, a patriot and a nazi at the same time? don't you feel that these are contradicting terms??
