1. The quote about Alexander the Great is from the film Die Hard, not any source from antiquity.

2. While not certain of their origin, Fez hats were popularized by the Ottomans and through them they spread to places like Greece, in no way am I claiming that this is a originally or solely Greek symbol.

3. Similarly to 2, Karagiozi is a Hellenized version of a Turkish shadow puppet popularized in the Ottoman period, Karagöz.

4. Ioannis Metaxas never actually said "Ochi" (No), in response to Mussolini's ultimatum, but rather said "Alors, c’est la guerre!" (Then it is war!)
