Did a Wehrmacht pilot actually defect during the Battle of Crete in 1941, after bombing the Tatoi airport occupied by the Germans? Did two Turkish-Cretans truly convert to Christianity willingly and marry Christians after just surviving a massacre? Who ultimately wrote the "Andatzio" by Alpinoni? Could Crete have been annexed by Greece in 1913? Did a wealthy Greek man indeed sell his novels for money to an Italian housekeeper, who then published them under her own name in France using a false identity? Was it truly for revenge that a wealthy Greek man was murdered—in apparent circumstances by Turkish soldiers—in Volos in 1897? Some of these eleven latent historical footnotes seem fabricated, but they are not. Others seem genuine, but they are not. History can sometimes become necessarily counter-eventful, like a button without holes: constructed from unexpected or distorted testimonies, records, and memories, it nonetheless remains a coherent narrative that has internal consistency and interprets reality. Through different lenses, it incorporates contradictory factors into its interpretations, deconstructs hidden aspects of events to replace them with more plausible alternatives, and illuminates the internal side of facts with photographic objectivity based on new interpretations and evidence. Thus, these stories highlight counter-eventful histories, in the plural.
