    The ancient Greeks, blonde Aryans, had Western mentality, current Greeks, dark and Turks in general, they have Eastern mentality.

    A mix of Balkan and Mediterranean mentality (which are not that different to begin with). I'd call it "southern" mentality.
    5 Stages of Grief:

    Denial: The initial stage: "It can't be happening." Maniot is on top of me.
    Anger: "Why ME? It's not fair?!" (either referring to God, oneself, or Maniot perceived, rightly or wrongly, as "responsible")
    Bargaining: "Just let me stay to post another day Maniot, please."
    Depression: "I'm so sad, why are you picking on me Maniot?"
    Acceptance: "It's going to be OK." There is always Skadi.

    I think the Med/Northern mentality in Europe seems to be deeper than the West/East divide. From what I gather from listening to people talk, the West/East divide is eroding as the EU snatches up European states (and then proceeds to ruin them).

    But anyways, I think the Greeks definitely align with the Med thinking and sensibility.

    I think the same based on my experience from Greece. In general, loud and cheerful people.
