Here is my complete answer to Maria’s question about publishing something other than my books:

- Have you published anything other than books? (i.e. essay, short story, poetry, etc)

Yes, I have. An article regarding the mystery behind Poussin’s intriguing painting, which he named “Et in Arcadia Ego.”

Here is the story behind the article:

I was on a trip to Cyprus visiting a friend when I met Andrew. Andrew was extremely gifted and talented, like a modern-day Leonardo Da Vinci.

It was a much larger peninsula, filled with green fields and numerous trees. Visitors often expressed their awe at its beauty, saying, “This must be the land of the gods.”

Despite the mention of gods by visitors, this peninsula was not located in Greece. Instead, the stunning and expansive peninsula, surrounded by cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean, was situated in a highly desirable area of Southern California.

The large peninsula boasted another popular attraction—one that was intriguingly...

Odysseus’s Twelve Stops The Odyssey, like the Iliad, is divided into 24

The Odyssey, like the Iliad, is divided into 24 books, corresponding to the 24 letters in the Greek alphabet.
Within the middle section of the poem (Books 9-12), Odysseus describes all the challenges that he has faced trying to get home.

Odysseus’s return to his island, however, is...

“ITHAKΗ”

ΤΟ ΠΟΙΗΜΑ πρωτοδημοσιεύτηκε στο περιοδικό Γράμματα του Οκτωβρίου - Νοεμβρίου 1911, όταν ο ποιητής ήταν σαράντα οκτώ ετών.
Ανήκει στα διδακτικά ποιήματα του Καβάφη.

Σα βγεις στον πηγαιμό για την Ιθάκη,
να εύχεσαι να 'ναι μακρύς ο δρόμος,

τέτοια στον δρόμο σου ποτέ σου δεν θα βρεις,
αν μέν' η σκέψις σου υψηλή, αν εκλεκτή
συγκίνησις το πνεύμα και το σώμα σου αγγίζει.

Τους Λαιστρυγόνας και...
