But somewhere along the line between then and now that history faded. Admittedly, inklings of that spirit remained in the world famous Greek shipping industry - but a reliance on government jobs and European Union subsidies did its best to quell the age-old spirit of entrepreneurship.Four years ago, TechCrunch held its first ever meetup in Greece, appropriately enough by an Athens beach.
