          I thought you explained for English speakers, as the majority are American and have no clue on history or anything outside of the US. They probably assume “greek” is a type of restorant.

                Fun story, there was a pope (don’t know which one) who was disgusted by all the dongs in the Vatican. So he got a hammer an chisel and went around the Vatican cutting off all penisses from all the statues, all the priceless artifacts including ancient roman statues and works from Michelangelo. Later they were covered up with leafs by masons.
