Out of curiosity, and this is not a major complaint, but does this place really deserve the category of Holy Cities? I'm not very familiar with Greek culture, so I'm not saying this categorization is incorrect, but the current depiction doesn't make it seem much like a "true" holy city. There have been plenty of places where great battles have been won that were called Miracles and the like, but even if they got titles that involved the word Holy, they may not be holy cities... if that makes any sense. |Compiègne, any number of places over ancient Israel, wherever the Battle of Badr took place, and so on aren't special sites of religious significance.
- It all depends on whom you ask, I suspect. This city is certainly holy to me as a Greek, while I couldn't care less about other cities in the category such as Jerusalem or Mecca, for instance. Who decides what makes a "true" holy city?--ΚέκρωΨ 16:31, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
