Translations revised and amended by Laure de Chantal for Ancient Greek and Dorian Flores for Modern Greek. Photographs by Nikos Aliagas.
Rich and humble with its three millennia of existence, the Greek language is essential to anyone seeking answers about their own humanity.
In a hundred apothegms and photographs to pay homage to them, Nikos Aliagas captures the "Greek spirit", this fascinating mixture of depth and irony, filled with the joy of being alive and awareness of the ephemeral.
A thurifer of Hellenic culture, he shares with us the precious words, in Greek and then in French, of the Greek authors and friends who accompany him, from Homer (8th century BC) to Alekos Fassianos (1935-2022), thus providing the all too rare opportunity to reestablish the link between Greek culture of Antiquity and that of today.
