Greece, officially the Hellenic Republic, is a country located in Southern Europe.
History[]
Ancient Greece[]
In Ancient Greece, the Olympians were worshipped as gods. However, they became seen just as mythological beings over time. This led the Olympians to live in seclusion in Omnipotence City with other gods, where Zeus ruled the Council of Godheads and the gods would stay as a safe place, neglecting their own duties.[1]
Foundations of Greek Mythology[]
The Eternals, a group of superpowered individuals created by the Celestials, were deployed to Earth to fight the Deviants, eventually residing in Athens. During this period, Sprite used her illusion powers to introduce fictionalized stories of the Eternals to the Ancient Greeks, creating tales regarding the flying Ikaris and Thena, the Eternal Goddess of War. As a result, Ikaris and Thena, as Icarus and Athena respectively, were incorporated into their historical legends and became revered as deities in Ancient Greek mythology.[2]
Building an Empire[]
Alexander III was born and raised in the historical region of Macedonia. He later became the ruler of Macedonia and began conquering more of Greece, becoming known as Alexander the Great.[3]
World War II[]
In 1943, Steve Rogers and the Howling Commandos traveled to Greece in order to destroy the HYDRA Facility located there. Rogers was able to set a giant Landkreuzer to explode, throwing a bag of explosives inside.[4]
Framework Network[]
With the knowledge of the Darkhold, Holden Radcliffe and Aida began perfecting the Framework. Upon completion, the code had become so powerful that it had to be processed on devices from all around the world. Part of the data was transmitted to an archive server in Athens, Greece.[5]
Flag Smashers' Political Ultimatum[]
In 2023, following the Blip, Greece joined the Global Repatriation Council and set up a camp in Athens. In 2024, the Flag Smashers targeted that camp on their campaign.[6]
