The thread of Kleio unravels, revealing the forgotten ultimate antiquity and the heroic past of the legendary neighborhood of Psiri.
The "small" history is unveiled, embracing heroes, human passions and desires, picturesque details, traditions, revered monuments, values, and events, all that was covered by the veil of oblivion during the years of nadir, slavery, and difficult daily life.
From the "Daughter of Athens," the fairy-born Teresa Makri, Byron, and the bold heroes of '21 to the unruly self-proclaimed "heroes" of Psiri.
Particular mention is made of the neighborhood’s cosmopolitan monk, the "Saint of Literature," Alexandros Papadiamantis.
At the same time, the "greater" History of Athens and the Athenians is recorded through testimonies, the epic of the Revolt of '21, the bittersweet memories of the Struggles and sacrifices during the sieges of the glorious "Castle" of the Acropolis, and ultimately, the liberation of the Athenians and the Nation.
