Γειά 😊 I'm taking a weekend trip from Athens to Monemvasia, probably Nafplio too, I'd appreciate any tips for sightseeing or places to eat traditional food. Thanks in advance ♡

Γειααα! I have no idea about places to eat because I haven't been in those places much. If you are a tourist from abroad, the general rule of thumb is to avoid places that seem to target tourists more than locals. For example, if a restaurant has a menu in English first and then a menu in Greek, that's a red flag. Opt for a restaurant where the menu is in Greek first or only. Check tripadvisor too though.

As for sightseeings:

Monemvasia is on its own a sightseeing. Logically a considerable part of the time will be to walk around and explore it. Then you can also visit the fortress and the upper town, the Archaeological Collection and the 12th century Byzantine Agia Sofia church. If it's warm enough, you can also swim in the beaches around the rock of Monemvasia.

In Nafplion the most important sightseeings are its fortresses and the views they provide. The following attractions have a lot of significance in Modern Greek history. You could visit the Palamidi castle, the Akronafplia fortress, the Bourtzi castle (the one inside the sea) and also the Peloponnesian Folklore Foundation, the Archaeological Museum, the War Museum and the Church of Saint Spyridon. This church is of particular historical interest because it is the location of the assassination of Greece's first governor, a great man and politician, Ioannis Kapodistrias, and you can still see in the column of the church a bullet that lost its aim. Oh, and odd recommendation to follow after the previous one but I think Nafplio has pretty good gelato! Bear in mind that the fortesses and the castles of Nafplion need a lot of legwork. Don't forget some extra walk in the Nafplion promenade of course.

As a sidenote, Monemvasia and Nafplion each are parts of regions (Laconia and Argolis respectively) that are full of great destinations but if you are going for a weekend there's no way you can see more than these two towns. But if in any case you want to know what else to see in those greater regions check out my Peloponnese page in the Regions segment in my blog and read the Laconia and Argolis paragraphs.

Detail from the second church I mentioned.

[dontdropthis]

From the time of Homer to the Byzantine era and modern Greek festivities, “Kledon” (omen) a custom related to prophecies has endured for centuries. The ancient Greeks designated spaces for chance utterances and in Smyrna they dedicated a sanctuary to the Goddess Kledona, the oracle of ominous words, and the bearer of disguised divine messages. Today, Saint Ioannis Prodromos has succeeded the Goddess, with certain Greek areas still carrying her name during his celebration. Every June, people, in celebration of Saint Ioannis, jump over bonfires to banish the evil and girls seek the name of their future lovers by hiding objects in clay jars filled with water and covered in cloths. As the night unfolds, the rituals continue and the jars are left under the starry sky for blessings, while the girls interpret omens in the gossiping words of the festive crowds. The following day, the jars are opened unveiling prophecies, ‘Kledones’. The Kledona celebration seamlessly blends ancient practices with contemporary festivities, embodying a centuries old cultural tapestry of gossip, magic and randomness.

Today we also celebrate our Venerable Father Joachim “Papoulakos” of Vatopedi. Saint Joachim was born in 1786 as Ioannis Patrikios to the devout parents, Angelos and Agne Patrikios, in the little village of Kalyvia of Ithaca in Greece. At a very early age, his mother passed away and his father remarried. His stepmother would be moved in jealousy towards the young child and it was well known that she mistreated him. This forced him at an early age to learn patience and he learnt to spend many hours hiding from her; reading the Holy Scriptures and praying at a small church near his home dedicated to St. Spyridon. He joined the family business and worked for his father as a sailor. One one of his trips, he visited Mount Athos, where he became a monk and stayed at the Monastery of Vatopaedi taking on the name of "Joachim". In 1827, the saint returned to Ithaca and served the church there for the remainder of his life. He peacefully fell asleep in the Lord in Vathy of Ithaca on March 2, 1868. May he intercede for us always + Source: https://orthodoxwiki.org/Joachim_of_Vatopaidi (at Ithaca, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpR1eLwjtOo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Sweet Saint John was a dancer on the shore of old Capernaum a lovely boy not fit for fishing, carpentry, or marrying.” -Poem by Ben Camino: http://bencaminosoul.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-third-dance-of-christmas-fiddle.html Credits for the Hair brush to: @yerafangirldeanwinchester ; it really save my life! I did this as a practice (I’m still not used to digital drawing ;w;) but also because I really want to do my own version of Saint Ioannis (since from months ago I have been studying Christian Iconography and art). I kinda like how it turns out! Fun and interesting historical fact: John and Mary Magdalene were depicted in the Renaissance as the groom and bride of the Marriage at Cana; this was based in Saint Jerome’s and Saint Thomas Aquinas’ exposition on the Gospel of John: indeed, they wrote than John was called by God the same day he was going to get married. Saint Bonaventura wrote that Virgin Mary and Mary Salome were sisters and Mary was invited to the wedding of her nephew. Domenico Cavalca in his writing “Volgarizzamento Delle Vite de Santi Padri di Domenico Cavalca”, wrote than he finds the idea of John and Mary Magdalene, as the groom and wife, really endearing and beautiful. And also told us that after John left behind Mary Magdalene, she was so hurt that started to search for the love that her heart ached for.  Then Molanus came and wrote an art and iconography treatise, where he ends the tradition of depict them as the groom and bride of the Marriage of Cana, mostly because he thought that it was a wrong representation of the episode of the Marriage at Cana. ..::…::::…..:::::…….:::::::.::: ”Dulce San Juan era un bailarín en las costas de la vieja Capernaum un encantador niño no apto para la pesca, carpintería o el matrimonio.” -Poema de Ben Camino (Link está arriba) Hice esto como una práctica para mejorar en el dibujo digital (aún no me acostumbro ;o;) pero también porque quería hacer mi propia versión de San Juan (desde que empecé a estudiar Iconografía Cristiana y arte…). La verdad me gusta el resultado final ;u; Dato curioso: Durante el Renacimiento, Juan y María Magdalena fueron representados como los novios de las Bodas de Canaan. Esto estaba basado en los comentarios al Evangelio de Juan de San Jerónimo y Santo Tomás Aquino: Juan fue llamado por Dios el día de su boda. San Buenaventura escribió que María Salomé y la Vírgen María eran hermanas, por lo tanto ésta última fue invitada a la boda de su sobrino. Por último, Domenico Cavalca escribió en su texto “ Volgarizzamento Delle Vite de Santi Padri di Domenico Cavalca“, que encontraba la idea de que, Juan y María Magdalena fueran los novios de Canaan, hermosa y dulce. También señala que cuando Juan abandonó a M. Magdalena, ésta sufrió mucho y salió en busca del amor que su corazón deseaba. Después lleno Molano con un tratado iconográfico y de arte, en el que reprendió que se usaran a estas dos figuras para representar las bodas, pues consideraba que era una representación equivocada.

The medieval Order of St. John (officially the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes, and of Malta) predates even the First Crusade (they aided pilgrims to the Holy Land, as opposed to creating the wounded who would need aid later, after the order evolved into a military order), and have long been associated with Malta .  In fact, the Order of St. John even once upon a time claimed Malta for its own (for almost two and a half centuries, eve!) - but these days, it considers its population to consist of three citizens (sometimes two): the grand master, the lieutenant grand master, and the chancellor.  The headquarters are based in the Palazzo Malta (surrounded by Rome - but was granted extraterritoriality by Italy; the Order has owned the Magistral Palace since 1630).  Aside from its three residents, the Order also has 13,500 members, 42,000 employees, and some 80,000 volunteers (its primary mission still being aid to those in need).  Probably we should all watch National Treasure again.

Γειά! I'm very interested in reading about Greek mythology. Mostly interpretations and deep dives on the origins and context of said mythology. All I've read so far are texts authored by British and American scholars but those are always biased and fitted into not-hellenic cultures. I wonder if you know of an actual Greek source that I could access in Spanish or English? I'd really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Γεια σου! Unfortunately I can't provide very accurate recs because I haven't read much about mythology and because

Foreign scholars hardly translate Greek literary classics (meaning modern classics), let alone Greek research on fields that they have already totally called dibs on.

Greeks themselves traditionally did not care much about mythology and have been studying history way more. The stance they hold towards mythology is that it is a bunch of fairytales suited for kids.

Younger generations are getting more interested in it which had led to an increase in books, references and podcasts about it, however the extreme majority are still adressed to kids. I searched one of the biggest book stores in Greece for recs and out of the 192 Greek mythology books available, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the 170 were meant for kids and then most out of the remaining were translated foreign works.

The most famous Greek book about the mythology is Ελληνική Μυθολογία by Nikos Tsiforos, 1964, 644 pages. This book is very informative and detailed however this is not its actual intent. Written by Tsiforos, who was a screenwriter and director with a very sharp humour and notable for the use of slang (of the time), its main point is the social and political commentary on religion. He was also very interested in drawing parallels and finding influences with other eastern civilizations. A drawback I have seen mentioned lately is that since this is edgy humour of the sixties, it completely lacks in political correctness, which makes some jokes appear irrelevant and insensitive. Greek readers seem to love this book enough to forgive such jokes and all agree about the surprising amount of knowledge and detail concentrated in this book, however unfortunately it is not translated into other languages.

I can translate to you the excerpt above to give you an idea:

"... turned against the idols of the Philistines, those people who historically had Greek origins, the Egyptian gods marched drenched in gold alongside the army to confront the iron gods of the Hittites, the patron saints of Cortés were caught in a catfight with the monstrous gods of Motecuhzoma, and whoever won the match also won the glory and the faith, so try arguing with men thinking that the "protection from above" excused their rights or their injusticies... A deity is necessary in war, because it is based on the highest power of the universe... The human stupidity. The mass human stupidity. The despicable Mr War could not not become a god by the Greeks, people who fought constantly, from their very first day. So he did, and his name was Ares. Behold, then, a Gentleman whom deep inside nobody likes. Neither the people who created him nor the gods who had a brawler in their company. A troublemaker, vile, unconscionable, most rude, never keeping his word - war never has honour anyway..."

It is a great read, but not translated and probably not exactly what you seek.

Then some other ones that are not translated, at least so far, are

Ελληνική Μυθολογία Τόμος Α Εισαγωγή. Ανάλυση και ερμηνεία του ελληνικού μύθου - Greek Mythology. Volume A. Introduction. Analysis and interpretation of Greek myth by Konstantinos Tsatsos, Ioannis Kakridis, Eleni Kehayoglou. Also writes a lot about the origins of every myth and explores the reasons behind their creation. Part of a series on Greek mythology, where most of the work is done by Kakridis, I believe. His full book series is 1680 pages. I believe the Greek Mythology by Kakridis is what you are looking for, but again I don't think there's a translation.

Ελληνική Μυθολογία: οι Θεοί - Greek Mythology: The Gods by Dora Papaioannou, 180 pages. This is an edition in simple, easy Greek, ideal for Greek learners, so I don't know if you are studying Greek, I add it here just in case. Obviously this must mean it doesn't get extremely detailed, although a reader in Goodreviews said it also had myths they did not know about. Papaioannou has written more relevant books in easy Greek, such as for the Trojan War and the Odyssey, with 225 pages.

Even though there are no translations, I thought this was an opportunity to mention these ones for interested Greeks and Greek speakers / learners.

There were more books of course, but they were for children or they focused on beautiful illustrations rather than analysis or didn't have enough ratings in Goodreads yet for me to recommend them.

A non-exhaustive list of dead people I have beef with in no particular order and for no particular reason

Alexander the Great. Great general, not nearly enough of an attention span for maintaining his empire

The Victorians. For making it weird. It being everything they ever wrote about. Except for flower language. That's cool.

Saint Paul. For having far too much of the New Testament ascribed to him and making my religion classes harder than they had to be.

Ea Nassir. He knows what he did.

Everyone involved in the burning of the Library of Alexandria.

Olaf Tryggvason. For his approach towards Christianising his sovereign (and not so sovereign) lands.

Whoever Mr. Rochester from Jane Eyre is based on.

Christopher Colombus.

The idiot that started the El Dorado legend. And all the idiots that believed him.

Lord Elgin. Fuck him and everyone like him.

Whoever thought it a good idea to steal one of the Easter Island sculptures

The person responsible for the Hermes scandal of 415 BCE.

Ioannis Kolettis and Alexandros Mavrokordatos. For having names that are very difficult to spell when you are ten and looking entirely too unlikeable in the illustrations of my history book.

Whoever decided "καταπλεω" (katapleo) should no longer have it's original meaning. We had a verd specifically for the act of sailing off to fuck shit up!

On a similar vein, whoever lost the recipe to the composition of Greek fire.

The academic that unironically called Sapfo straight

The person responsibilities for destroying part of the Homeric Hymn to Demeter. I have Questions.

The person who decided "Wednesday" should be spelled thusly

Everyone involved in the formation of modern German grammar and syntax.

The utter psychopath who made a show of publicly unwrapping mummies in front of an audience.

Today we celebrate the Holy and Right Believing Empress Irene of Athens. Saint Irene lived in the 12th century AD and had various virtues. Emperor Alexios Komnenos noticed her virtues and decided to marry her to his son, John, also known as Good-Ioannis, because of his many gifts. The virtuous Empress Irene was very generous and promoted the charitable giving of others. In fact, she liked going alone and discreetly to the huts of the poor, where she gave money and supported the poor spiritually. She grasped the opportunities she had and, therefore, she built nursing homes and hostels. She also gave a lot of money for their maintenance and security. It is not enough to inaugurate new buildings, but also to maintain them over time. Shortly after that, she experienced great distress. Her husband passed away during a mission in Syria in 1143 AD. Later, the exact same thing happened to both of her four children. She tried to find relief by isolating herself from society. Thus, she withdrew to the Monastery of Pantocrator, with the consent of the king’s son Manuel, where he became a nun and changed her name to Xeni. In 802 the patricians conspired against her, deposing her on 31 October, and placing Nikephoros, the minister of finance on the throne. Irene was exiled to Lesbos and forced to support herself by spinning wool. There she reposed in the Lord and her funeral took place in great simplicity as she wished. Shortly before her passing away, she was saying that she has actually died long ago. There was nothing left from her past self, except her new self, nun Xeni.
