Never on Sunday, In Memoriam Melina Mercouri


Don't look back: sorry, Melina, not quite a paidi tou Pirea!

I want my marbles back!




"To be born Greek is to be magnificently cursed. To a surprisingly large number of people, it means you personally built the Acropolis, you created Delphi, the theatre, and you sired the concept of democracy. The truth is that you're poor, many of your people can't read and the rare moments that you tasted of democracy and independence, foreign protectors or their Greek stooges snatched them away from you."


"I Was Born Greek", 1971
