Expression That Has Changed in Meaning

The phrase, "When Greek meets
Greek" which has gained and retained
currency till 1t is almost a proverb, is
practically equivalent to asking the
oft-repeated question, What would
happen If an irresistible force came in
contact with an immovable body? In
the "tug of war" which would result
there is no way Of telling what the re-
suit of the impact might be, nor which
faction of the Greeks might win.
The line Is taken from Nathaniel
Lees Alexander the Great" written
In the Seventeenth century. The ex-
