1 Kalos Irthate stin Sofia s HELLAS TAVERNA A small part of Greece in Handforth Hellas One word Thousand meanings Endless thoughts, memories and history Greece Hellas Some historians detects that comes from the union of the words Sel and Laas. The word Sel indicates the bright glowing light. Regarding the word Laas, in Homeric Greek means stone, rock. Therefore, we can infer that if the word Hellas comes from the connection of Sel and Laas, the final meaning is Glowing Stone and the Greeks are the residents of this Glowing Stone. The first prominent modern vegetarian was the Greek philosopher Pythagoras who lived towards the end of the 6th century BC Ancient Greeks thought of the god Dionysos as being part of the wine they drank, and they thought of Persephone as being part of their bread Ambrosia was the food of the gods and goddesses in Greek mythology. Nectar was called the divine drink that the Olympian gods had. We should look for someone to eat and drink with before looking for something to eat and drink, Epicurus, Greek Philosopher Let the food be the medicine, and the medicine be the food, Hippocrates
