In the Iliad and the Odyssey, the warriors eat only red meat, bulls and rams. There is no calamari feast. The basic myth comes from the Steppe, not the Mediterranean, and Helen (Swelen – Shining) is abducted to the East, to the steep heights of Tajikistan (their steep walls of Ilios).
Identical to our modern day Abruzzese cuisine in Italy lol. Not surprised.
This sort of was in Nolan's "Odyssey" movie I guess.
Amazing content
They would eat this with unleavened flatbread to scoop it up
Awesome
You're the boss
I have Greek blood but I reject this food. Octopuses are intelligent sentient beings.
I swam the Mediterranean as a boy in the 80s Corsica and remember seeing baby octopus or squid swimming around me, cool. Tasty too.
Looks delicious
that looks so good
Looks delicious to me – I love squid (not a fan of cumin though, I feel like I'm the only one who doesnt like it)

His first reaction like "Yea. That's a tiny squid" 😂
And enjoying calamari, I'd probably give that dish a solid 8.5-9
Trick with calamari is to fry it. (Unless you know what you are doing).
❤
That looks incredible
ack what if a future archaeologist finds one of our coffee mugs with a picture of a cat on it
"we don't know much but we think they drank cat smoothies"
…You mentioned "Troy". I thought the Mycenean Greeks were the ones who fought at Troy?
I'd eat a couple servings.
Mmmm, that looks so good!
Robert Graves explores the transition from Myceneans to the Pre-Hellen Greeks in Jason and the Golden Fleece,
Get it on Audible. It'a awesome
Visited Mycene. Very impressive what those people over 3000 years back could do
