This is a series that has ancient Greece as its central theme, but presents Greek culture in a derogatory manner. The “Krapopolis” series tells the story of a flawed family of humans, gods and monsters trying to rule one of the world’s first cities without killing each other. “Krapopolis” was created by Dan Harmon for the Fox Broadcasting Company.
His dissatisfaction with the series was expressed by Savvas Tsivikos, president of AHEPA, the largest organization of Greek-American fraternities. He even sent a letter to Zen Guerin, executive vice president of Fox Entertainment, in which he asked the network to stop production of the series, calling it “disparaging to the contribution of the ancient Greeks to Western civilization.” .
At the same time, he requested a meeting with the show’s producers “to discuss why we believe this satirical depiction of our ancient Greek roots is offensive.”
“This series attacks our 5,000 years of history and devalues what it means to be a good citizen. This may seem humorous to some, but it is certainly not about the values, the history, the heritage with which Greece antique should be accredited,” he said. in the letter.
