I think there was a New tv series on that(? maybe a movie instead), where one of the antagonists was the governor of Smyrna. Maybe they'd also show Karatheodory (?) who was asked by Venizelos (and accepted) to be the head of the university there (that was a good move, but sadly didn't last; Karatheodory was an important mathematician).

uhm , are you sure you are not investigating whether ı do produce movies and stuff ? And like how am ı going to know the things in the Greek market ? Did anyone accuse me of having an affair with some soap opera star or something your side of the border ?

Roof update.
It isn't necessarily the sealing but chimney's steel plating has rusted away from the top so it's flapping and water, snow & small missiles can get through the gap. In practical terms this means that the roof insulation is wet and/or covered by snow which is now melting & trying to get away where ever it's easist.
A temp solution in classic DIY style. Luckily I'm not short of clamps.

Spoiler the million € fix :
Somehow, it seems that this thread's title should be dedicated to Bootstoots.
What are we looking at in that picture?

Top of the chimney.
The (mostly) red part is the steel plating which is supposed to be roughly like it is now - hugging the chimney and under the concrete ledge. Due to rust it doesn't stay that way on its own. The 3 clamps in the pic are doing that atm but without them plating leans away from the chimney creating an opening so it acts more as water/snow gatherer rather than a protector.
I was planning to paint the roof this summer and would've noticed the trouble but the bugger just couldn't wait for few months. Interestingly climate change is partly to blame here.
In case you were wondering why the 8 holes instead of just one or two. By regulations at least every room with a burning device needs a separate channel, sometimes every device so there's one for sauna, kitchen, oil burner, 2 reserved for fireplaces,1 unused for original water heater in sauna's bathroom & 2 optional extras.

simply because of Will Smith at the Oscars , today it became widely known that ı have an affair with a Russian in Russian Army and she is fighting in Ukraine . Because the first part looks like manly , and when Russia loses the war , ı will also be "counted" as losing the war . To get this you have be schooled in my country and those history classes have been much mocked in the last 20 years . If Russia impossibly wins then nobody will remember it . And because they can't remove previous claims because that would prove their matchless power to discover secrets of the public enemy persons was just making up things , the number of women ı have affairs with goes through the roof ...
If I had more time to think about my thread title, I would've called it "Not Enough Snerk".
As the OP, you can still change the title. Click on "Thread Tools" and you'll get a dropdown menu of options.

This thread title will forever stand as the pinnacle of my life achievements.
I'm starting to think I should just set up my work laptop in the bathroom.
You'll be able to show it to your child and say, "See, I told you I was famous!"

I hope you all know what 'snerk' is?
Norwegian for the yucky skin formation on the surface of hot chocolate.
