Let's do not deny our origin
Marseille, France, was founded around 600 BCE by Greeks from the Asia Minor city of Phcoaea (as mentioned by Thucydides Bk1,13, Strabo, Athenaeus and Justin)
Football Club de Marseille adopted the name Olympique de Marseille in 1899, in honor of the anniversary of Marseille's founding by Greeks from Phocaea some 25 centuries earlier, with the name Olympique, coming from ancient Olympic Games and the colours (reversed flag of Greece) chosen to represent the club.

The Phocaean Greeks introduced the cult of Artemis, as in their other colonies, such as Agde, Nice, Antibes, Monaco, Emporiae
and Rhoda.
The Greeks from Phocaea also founded settlements in the island
of Corsica, such as at Alalia.
From Massalia, the Phocaean Greeks also founded cities in northeastern Spain such as Emporiae and Rhoda.
