It's a highly symbolic detail.
And you don't have to be so irritated about it. Maccabees was a long time ago and the Greeks have largely abandoned forcing other people to worship Zeus. 😁
Irritated? I am not a nationalist. Fuck Greece. The problem is that because of our national sport of civil wars, humanity lost the opportunity to get rid off these scums.
