New Year's Day 1945 arrived in a city shrouded in darkness and fear. Despite the shadow of terror that had paralyzed daily life that December, much of the population awaited the coming day with anticipation.

The Mytilenian Brotherhood of Sydney and New South Wales continued its enduring partnership with Kingsgrove North High School on Thursday by presenting the Odysseus Elytis Academic Award for Excellence, The Greek Herald reports.

The Odysseas Elytis Museum comes to life thanks to the support of the Qualco Foundation, 28 years after the poet’s death and 45 years after he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. The Foundation, recognizing the importance of preserving Greek cultural heritage, contributed to the establishment of the new museum, making it a dedicated space for the memory and work of Odysseas Elytis.

The Odysseus Elytis Museum honoring the late Greek Nobel Prize-winning poet was inaugurated by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Friday evening, in the presence of Culture Minister Lina Mendoni.

The Museum was inaugurated on the eve of the poet's birthday on November 2 (1911) in Iraklio, Crete. He died in 1996, aged 84.

Work is feverishly under way for Friday's opening of a much-anticipated new museum, dedicated to one of Greece's greatest poets, Nobel Laureate Odysseas Elytis (1911-1996).

In the heart of Athens, amid the winding streets of Plaka, preparations are nearing completion for a cultural milestone: the opening of the Odysseas Elytis House Museum on November 1.

Elytis' legacy as a Nobel laureate is enshrined not only in his written word but also in the spaces that shaped his thought.

A month after reports revealed that the birthplace of Greek novelist Elias Venezis in Ayvalik, Turkey, was in a state of near collapse, restoration work has begun.

The property, where Venezis lived until he was 18, has long held symbolic importance for the Greek community of Asia Minor.

The news came from the opposite shore of the Aegean, from Ayvalik: the ancestral home of Elias Venezis, a prominent Greek writer of the past century, is on the verge of collapse. Unfortunately, this is not an uncommon occurrence.
