I insist on the word anger and deliberately do not use the word rage. Rage is the crystallization of anger. Its materials are hard and demand justification. Anger is airy and sunlit. It does not ask to be justified. It seeks to dissipate.

In the shadow of the historical events that marked the history of these "first" two hundred years, against the backdrop of Greek society, the current of anger has never ceased to carry our collective behavior with its momentum. How did it influence the civil conflicts that began from the embryonic stage of the modern Greek state? How did it function as the driving force of the Great Idea, which proved to be suicidal?

How did the "angry wounds" of Makrygiannis become the emotional guide of the Third Greek Republic? And how did "anger," which meant soul for Homer, come to mean rage for the modern Greeks and be considered a certificate of authenticity of our national identity, unconsciously equating our soul with anger?

Takis Theodoropoulos, in this brief text, composes the psychogram of the first two centuries of the history of the modern Greek state. A state that struggles to find the boundaries of an angry Nation.
