In the book The wonderful landing of the Greeks in Empúries, Published in 1925, journalist Manuel Brunet demystified the arrival of the Greeks on the beaches of the Gulf of Roses, which at that time was usually presented as a scene somewhere between romantic and ridiculous. The Greeks who arrived in Empúries were not philosophers or poets but merchants, and their baggage was not lofty ideas or verses but "all the science of brothels, dice, ports and prisons," says Brunet, and explains that the indigenous people of the future Catalan land did not welcome them with songs, did not welcome them with songs of beginning a future.
