Thanks.
I’ll have to check. IIRC, I read of something like this scheduled for Greece within the last week or so.

This should be good.

Either they have good building codes or the regional geology mutes the effect of such quakes; otherwise it seems like there would have been some damage.

Probably remembered some big statue falling over during an earthquake, and upgraded the building codes...

That is somewhat short of huge, but still highly respectible.

When visiting the ruins at Olympia I noticed it appeared an earthquake had knocked everything down. Would a 7.3 take those columns down? Maybe not, but a bigger quake could do it and apparently they can get a good-sized quake.

Most of their quakes are fairly mild, but they do get big ones from time to time.
This page provides some details.
