Hellas Quotes

“Neleus...

The son of Poseidon!

A birth that came from the mate of a god and a mortal woman.

Not plain at all!

So it was, when the gods love, mate as humans with humans!

From such a union two children were born, both boys.

Their mother placed them in a small boat, and dropped it into the sea.

The sea loved and saved them, children of Neptune were anyway!

The river itself is connected with the sea, fresh water with salt, the land and the sea...

"The sea herself guided us like legendary heroes into this new place ..".

It couldn't be differently.

Children of the Gods aren't we, our race? Have similar origin and similar history! Could not abandoned us, prey and exposed, like the two babies?”

― Nikos Kazantzakis, Journeying: Travels in Italy, Egypt, Sinai, Jerusalem and Cyprus

“If you want to win over the Greeks as an orator. Give your speech in a serious manner with an aggressive undertone - but make the content so sharp and witty that they are laughing while you are screaming at them.”
