WHY DO GREEKS BREAK PLATES?
Breaking plates is a symbol of anger, a classic part of domestic disturbances. Since plate breaking often occurs at happy occasions, it is a way of fooling malicious spirits into thinking that the event was a violent one instead of a celebration.

Worldwide, noise is believed to drive away evil, and the sound of the plates smashing against the stone or marble floors of Greek houses would be loud enough to scare off almost anything.
