At the moment the Greek political establishment, or what passes for such, has been plunged into a terrible dilemma. To go noisily or to go quietly.

So we are faced with a difficult dilemma. We may have absolutely nothing else left but we do have the vocabulary to deal with it all.

Dilemma is a Greek word. So is Crisis, Tragedy and of course Catastrophe. Europe, which is also a Greek word, straight out of Greek mythology, might stop for a moment to ponder these foreign words to them and think of what they may really mean.

Hubris, Nemesis, Catharsis.
