[alatismeni-theitsa]

I grace you with perhaps the worst adaptation of the Bacchae in Epidavros - and surely in the whole world.

You don’t have to know Greek to understand this trashiness. Watch at your own risk.

[navisses]

People are friends in no more than name if their friendship fails in times of adversity.

Euripides - Orestes

[epestrefe]

1926~"Antigone" play at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, Athens

Αντιγόνη του Σοφοκλή στο Ηρώδειο από το θίασο της Μαρίκας Κοτοπούλη

[kimitheoriginal]

Let no one think of me as weak and submissive, a cipher-but as a woman of a very different kind, dangerous to my enemies and good to my friends.

- Medea, from Medea by Euripides (as translated by James Morwood)
