Manolis

The fatal flare exploded in Manolis' hands - Second loss of a family member within a few years

In the bruised face of archaeologist Manolis Psarros, who was beaten by unidentified men in northern Athens a few weeks ago, we saw the Mykonos of gangs, thugs, rackets and dirty money. This is an early and rather superficial interpretation of the case.

The Association of Greek Archaeologists has said that one of its members who works on Mykonos received a threatening message with abusive content.

The archaeologist reported the threat, which came in the form of a text message from an unknown number, to a prosecutor that deals with extortion and to the police.

The Athens Concert Hall (megaron.gr) celebrates World Poetry Day by inviting singer Manolis Mitsias and actress Karyofilia Karabeti to perform the magic that comes when the greatest poems are set to music by great composers. Joined by an ensemble of eight musicians, the artists will present a program that includes Greek repertory gems from this genre.

Christos Pappas of the now defunct far-right Golden Dawn party was no run of the mill cadre of former party leader Nikos Michaloliakos.

He was the self-styled "theoretician" of the group. Even "his own" people referred to him as [top Nazi Hermann] Goering and his parliamentary presence was marked by his outrageous audacity.

The former German ambassador to Greece Peter Schoof expressed his condolences in a tweet over the death this week of Greek World War II resistance hero Manolis Glezos.

A lot has been said about Manolis Glezos, the proud Greek who was the first to publicly stand up to the Nazis and humiliate Hitler by taking down the swastika flag from the Acropolis.

The Greek flag on the Acropolis is flying at half mast in honor of World War II resistance hero Manolis Glezos who is to be buried Wednesday.
In a post on social media Tuesday, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said the gesture was a tribute to a "great Greek."

Glezos died of heart failure at a central Athens hospital Monday. He was 97.
