What common fate binds a foreign burglar, a philology of the Greek language in mourning, an elderly Greek history professor with Alzheimer's and a fresh-faced Balkan warrior who wants to enjoy his freedom;
All of the above confused in a colorful merry-go-round of interdependencies and fears, they try to love and love back, to lean and trust…. against the background of today's Greece.
A modern one, sharp comedy with strong beats and twists, which scorches the,what makes us afraid, The,what makes us strangers to ourselves...

EPIDAURUS : A statue from Roman times was found


source :http://www.protothema.gr

It was discovered in the surroundings of the Little Theater of Epidaurus, during the work being carried out, the statue of a naked man, which dates back to the imperial Roman times and possibly to the 2nd AD. century. Archaeologists cite the 2nd as a possible date, as at that time the Emperor Hadrian visited the city and created favorable conditions. The statue is essentially a marble torso, the size of which is slightly larger than a physical body and represents a naked man, who is naked and standing with a robe thrown over the left shoulder and wrapped around the arm, which was found in very good condition. The statue has a soft body build, with exaggeration in the clean structure and swelling in the muscles. The statue is inspired by the great sculptor Polykleitos and there is a possibility that it is a representation of the god Hermes. Archaeologists do not know if it is really a representation of the god or as has happened many times with other copies of the same type, by adjusting the head and face, which was the portrait of an important official of the time. The area where the statue was found, presumably included the purchase of the ancient city. More specifically, it was found embedded in a makeshift building, which dates earlier than the 4th AD. century, near older buildings, which are assumed by archaeologists to be part of the wider ancient market of Epidaurus. The works are carried out under the auspices of the Epidaurus Monuments Conservation Committee of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. For the purpose of cleaning and maintaining the statue, it was transferred to the Museum of Asclepius Epidaurus.
