PAOK were well and truly tamed on a wild night in northern Greece. You would not have known that from the incessant noise created by PAOK’s supporters who have developed a reputation in recent years for giving visitors a hostile time, and it is credit to Chelsea that they coped with that so professionally.

Max Mara rewrites Greek myths at Milan fashion week

Classic works of literature were name-checked and updated in a show that put outerwear centre stage Looking back to look forward has become a bit of a ruse in fashion. Yet few designers tend to go as far back as Max Mara, which revisited the 800BC Greek myths for its spring-summer show in Milan that was partly about women, partly about the weather, but was mostly a class in classical mythology. The brand’s head designer, Ian Griffiths, had spent the summer reading male-centred legends, rewritten from a woman’s perspective. Among a handful of books, he name-checked Margaret Atwood’s The Penelopiad and Homer’s The Iliad, told from the viewpoint of Odysseus’ long-suffering wife, Penelope. Continue reading...

Thousands of water-skating spiders have blanketed a Greek lagoon in a 1000-foot cobweb - and it looks like a scene from 'Lord of the Rings'

[Spiders greek beach] * A Greek lagoon has been carpeted with 1000-feet long cobwebs, The Guardian reports. * The seasonal phenomenon is caused by mating spiders of the Tetragnatha genus — otherwise known as stretch spiders. * The eerie scene won't last long, though. * A biologist told Greek news outlets that the spiders will soon die off and the webs will decompose without causing any harm to the vegetation. Arachnophobes, look away. In a truly "Lord of the Rings"-esque phenomenon, thousands of tiny spiders have carpeted a lagoon in Greece with cobwebs as long as 300-metres (984 feet), The Guardian reports.SEE THE REST OF THE STORY AT BUSINESS INSIDERNOW WATCH: 3 surprising ways humans are still evolving SEE ALSO: * Share your opinion – Become a BI Insider today! * The technology from this sneaker company was banned in the NBA for being so effective — but fitness enthusiast and casual wearers alike are both flocking to their newer styles * It looks like Nintendo could release a miniature Nintendo 64 console to compete with the new Sony PlayStation Classic
