The Greek Resistance – fighting, philotimo and the cost of freedom, with Spyros Tsoutsoumpis
Ouzo Talk
It’s Oxi Day, and Ouzo Talk again journey’s into Greece’s history with this spotlight on one of the most remarkable and complex chapters of World War II – the Greek Resistance with the help of renowned historian Spyridon Tsoutsoumpis. Although Greece fell to Axis forces in April 1941, its people refused to surrender. From remote mountain villages to occupied islands, ordinary Greeks including farmers, students, priests, women, and soldiers rose up against German, Italian, and Bulgarian occupiers. Yet behind the heroic acts lay a fractured resistance, with rival groups like ELAS and EDES, whose uneasy wartime alliance would later unravel into brutal civil conflict. Helping us unpack this story of courage, defiance, and division is leading historian Spyridon Tsoutsoumpis, whose groundbreaking work on political violence and the people’s armies of the Greek Resistance brings new light to this pivotal era in modern Greek and European history.

The Parthenon Marbles: Are things about to get legal?
Ouzo Talk
The climate around the Parthenon Marbles debate has publicly continued to warm in the last two years, with both sides seemingly moving closer towards an agreement. But that may not be the full story according to long-time advocates for the return of the Marbles in David Hill and George Vardas. The pair join Ouzo Talk for our latest instalment on the Parthenon Marbles to discuss where discussions currently are between the UK Government and Greece, and the British and Acropolis Museums. Following a recent meeting of global associations to discuss the matter, the plot thickened with the release of an ominous statement from Greek President, Konstantinos Tassoulas, who in a Greek Government first, signalled that legal action may be on the cards. Is that where the matter is heading? Join Tom and Nick as they quiz David and George on the latest to do with the most controversial ownership battle in world culture, history and archaeology.
