Greek expression: “Either the sea is wrong, or we're sailing wrong.” Used whenever the actions taken by the speaker appear to be completely counter-productive.

In modern Greek, pressuring somebody immensely is referred to as “extracting that person's oil”; an evocative phrase, bearing in mind how much pressure is needed to extract oil from olives.
Amazing Greek language fact! The Greek word for “sushi” is “sushi”.
There exists an ancient Greek word, “sylē”, meaning “right of seizure”. The verb “sylein”, then, means “to loot” or “to seize”. For instance, the word “hierosylia” means “sacrilege”. And the place that everyone has agreed is inviolable is an “asylon” ie “asylum”.
In modern Greek, someone or something wandering about aimlessly is said to wander “like an unjust curse”.
