I think it's going to depend on the context of the war.  There's no automatic favourites here.
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

Greece currently cannot afford even a Macedonian phalanx, let alone an army.

How did Greece win independence from the Turks? ;)

I find it incredibly unlikely Greece would start a war with Turkey under current conditions so I would most certainly be rooting for Greece against Erdogan aggression. Turkey is a much larger country for all that matters in today's warfare.

More people live in that city presently than live in the entire nation of Greece. Probably not happening :P

Neither, they both smell of dirt.

It really depends on the circumstances.  Who shoots first, who provokes who, what weapons and tactics are being used, etc.  I mean if Greece launches a surprise attack on Istanbul by dropping biological weapons there, I'll root for Turkey.
