To be honest if was my choice because Greece had and still had a very bad system of figuring out what your studies will be. Honestly there are not many options for mathematicians to do mathematics in Greece outside academia and was become teachers which is a pity. So, I was passing thru and did it like kind of a chore.
Many years later I understood how helpful it had been. The domain is an absolute training for abstract thinking which is super important in computer science and for the world in general. I always had a tendency to logic and I liked physics more second to computers but studying mathematics (Greece had one of the best and most demanding schools on theoretical domains) was a process that so much fine tuned by inert ability to do cold logic and I felt the difference in the second part of my career.
