Q: Is our homeland burning?

A: In case you hadn't heard, Greece is on fire, and it's getting pretty gruesome.

The many blazes are said to have been caused by incidents of both nature and arson, part of Greece's millennia-old tradition of tragedies fueled by the stupidity of gods and men. Meanwhile, the government has declared a state of emergency, cautioning that the fires may further delay the completion of Olympic Stadium.

Much love to Ελλας as it battles through the disaster and attempts to recover from the death and devastation.
