Sophocles versus Shakespeare

Upset upset upset! Horrid criticism in the English newspapers against Greece,the Greeks... about the fires! Go downstairs, Johnny is diving into the newspapers...More angry grrrrrrrrrr...... Sit down next to him saying with a pompous style "Johnny darling, do you know Sophocle's is better than Shakespeare?" Thinking this will divert the subject of the conversation in favor of me and the Greeks (actually, between us, dear reader, I believe it and I have strong arguments)
Johnny was totally focused on his newspaper and muttered gently "Bravo Sophocles" meaning "do not disturb me"
Feel helpless, angry... about the fires my tribe and Johnny.Ggggrrrrr...

Ναι αλλά και ένα δίκιο για την κριτική υπάρχει.. ως πότε θα μας σώζει ο έρημος ο Σοφοκλής και ο Ευριπίδης;
Οι νεοέλληνες τί κάνουν ;

Saddly at that moment I didn't have any strongest argument other than.... the glorious past and this made me even angrier

I see.. it happens very often when people argue about past.. forget about it.. just an argument, that's all..
