Seferis became an outspoken critic of the nationalist right-wing Regime of the Colonels that violently took control of Greece in 1967. On March 28, 1969, he made a statement on the BBC World Service, with copies distributed to every newspaper in Athens stating, "This anomaly must end". Although he had become a popular hero for his resistance to the regime, Seferis died before it was overthrown. During his funeral in 1971 huge crowds followed his coffin through the streets of Athens, singing Mikis Theodorakis’ setting of Seferis’ poem 'Denial', which was banned at the time by the government. 📕📗📘📙📕📗📘📙 #gasstationburrito #books #bookstagram #bookish #bookworm #booknerd #bookaholic #booklove #bookquotes #bookishfeatures #authorquotes #quotes #bookfeaturepage #bookishfeatures #librarian_of_gram #bookaholic #Instaquotes #igquotes #booksofinstagram #Bookporn #literaryhistory #onthisday #giorgosseferis #resistance #thismustend #poet #september20 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn97zcqnhbq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=awv4o19f67o9

Dying September 20, 1971, Giorgos Sederis was a poet and diplomat, serving in the Greek foreign service, eventually becoming ambassador to England. He was awarded the Noble Prize in Literature in 1963. Although he was the first Greek to win the award, in his acceptance speech, Seferis chose rather to emphasise his own humanist philosophy, concluding: "When on his way to Thebes Oedipus encountered the Sphinx, his answer to its riddle was: 'Man'. That simple word destroyed the monster. We have many monsters to destroy. Let us think of the answer of Oedipus." 📕📗📘📙📕📗📘📙 #gasstationburrito #books #bookstagram #bookish #bookworm #booknerd #bookaholic #booklove #bookquotes #bookishfeatures #authorquotes #quotes #bookfeaturepage #bookishfeatures #librarian_of_gram #bookaholic #Instaquotes #igquotes #booksofinstagram #Bookporn #literaryhistory #onthisday #reading #giorgosseferis #poet #september20 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn85ISvnQ5u/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dujnh8iirv34
