A great master of screenwriting said that the heroes of comedy have no awareness that they are in a comedy. They live their drama. This is what has happened to all the heroes of this book:
The philologist who hears from her students that Penelope was foolish to wait for Odysseus for so many years, weaving instead of making productive use of the very charming suitors who surrounded her; Nontas the biker god, who sold his cousins the tale that he experienced great love with Joan Baez at Woodstock; the student from Larissa who, due to lack of funds, forced himself to spend his holidays in Platamon instead of living the high life on exotic beaches of the Far East; the couple that rekindles their relationship due to mourning the death of Aliki Vougiouklaki; Haris, who while translating for the Japanese in Epidaurus the tragedy of Antigone, gets entangled in his own; the taxi driver who steals the heart instead of the wallet of the journalist who disguised herself as a foreign tourist to trap him.
All ordinary people next door. Greeks - if I may say, Greek folks. With their good sides, with their grumbling, with their complaints, with their `there is no` state. Deep down, all tragic heroes of a very Greek comedy!
