Myth

"Neither the state nor the Hellenic Public Properties Company knows exactly how many properties it owns, nor where they are, nor even whether they can be exploited," Ilias Bellos concluded in his reportage (Kathimerini 21/01/24) on "the myth of 72,000 state properties" and the chaos that surrounds the issue. 

Celebrations are a joyous time of reuniting with family and friends. But afterward, people can sometimes be left uneasily mulling over their relationships. Annual returns home can induce an uncomfortable nostalgia in the tension between how the past is remembered and how the present is experienced.

British writer and comedian Stephen Fry will perform at next year's Shaw Festival in Ontario, Canada, with a starring role in a show based on the myths of ancient Greece.
