Cosmatos is full of portentous anger. "The whole of European society is constructed on a failed model of being! A hash of lies and ignorance! Those bastards in Brussels and Berlin, saving their banks and making us carry their trash! Oh, yes, for them it is easy to say the law is what is written, and the text of an international treaty is absolute and to maintain as we suffer that that is virtue. So what if a nation burns and a people starve? So what if the poorest of Europe must play host to the wretched of Africa? That is the so-precious law we must follow. It is a Judaeo-Christian perception filtered through a German mind-set and it is fundamentally foreign to our understanding. It is out of date anyway! Nothing is written in stone in a digital century, and we understand that. It is our time once more, Constantine. The true Greek life is poetic, not arithmetical—which is why you are forever so at war with yourself. We will learn to live symbolically, at one with our gods. You, too, will have to learn."
