Greece has a capitalist economy with the public sector accounting for about 40% of GDP and with per capita GDP at least 75% of the leading euro-zone economies. Tourism provides 15% of GDP. Immigrants make up nearly one-fifth of the work force, mainly in agricultural and unskilled jobs. Greece is a major beneficiary of EU aid, equal to about 3.3% of annual GDP. The Greek economy grew by nearly 4.0% per year between 2003 and 2006, due partly to infrastructural spending related to the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, and in part to an increased availability of credit, which has sustained record levels of consumer spending. Greece violated the EU's Growth and Stability Pact budget deficit criteria of no more than 3% of GDP from 2001 to 2005, but finally appears on track to meet that criteria in 2006. Public debt, inflation, and unemployment are above the euro-zone average, but are falling. The Greek Government continues to grapple with cutting government spending, reducing the size of the public sector, and reforming the labor and pension systems, in the face of often vocal opposition from the country's powerful labor unions and the general public.

THE FAMOUS ANCIENT OLYMPIC WINNERS
The wrestler Milon, from Croton, took part in seven Olympiads of which he won six.
The Spartan wrestler, Hipposthenes, won five times.
The record for victories in the pentathlon was held by the Elean Gorgos, who won four times. He also won once in both the diaulos and the hoplidromos events.
Chonis of Laconia was seven times champion: four times in the stadion and three in the diaulos, winning four consecutive Olympiads from 668 BC to 656 BC.
The record is held by Leonidas from Rhodes who was twelve times a champion in four consecutive Olympiads, three times in each (stadion, diaulos and hoplitodromos), from 164 BC to 152 BC.
Arrachion the Arcadian was three times a pankration Olympic winner. In the 54th Olympiad (564 BC), his rival, in a tactical manoeuvre, squeezed his hands around his neck and unfortunately Arrachion died of suffocation. The Hellanodikai declared him the winner.

Along with cheese and wine, the breads and pastries of France are revered world-wide. No meal in France is served without bread, especially baguettes. Croissants can be served plain or filled.
I found this: The French didn't invent cheese but they are known world-wide for their assorted cheeses. "To taste a selection of raw-milk goat cheeses like Pouligny-Saint-Pierre, Selles-sur-Cher, Valençay, Crottin de Chavignol, and Chabichou du Poitou is to understand what a seminal experience these cheeses can be. Consider the rich legacy, imitated the world over, of the family of soft-ripened, bloomy rind cheeses such as Camembert and Brie, arguably France's most famous cheeses."
