Oxi Day

Oxi Day - October 28, 1940 was the day Greece took a stand against a powerful fascist army and put a crimp in Hitler’s grand plan for world domination. In the months that followed, Greece inspired war-ravaged Europe, and diverted and delayed the Italian and German armies long enough to impact the course of World War 2. Ζήτω η Ελλάς! Long Live Greece!

What Are the Parthenon Marbles?
What Are the Parthenon Marbles?

For 2,500 years the most spectacular marble statues ever seen graced the Parthenon, atop the Acropolis in Athens. For all of that time artists, architects, mathematicians, and scholars studied and admired the Temple of Athena and her sculptures. We’ll talk history, the man who envisioned the Acropolis complex, and why the Parthenon Marbles are pride and “essence of Greekness.”

Karagiózis
Karagiózis

How a Turkish shadow puppet evolved into a symbol of Greek suffering and resistance. Funny and subversive, Karagiózis connected Greeks in cities, villages and islands by keeping their music, culture and the seeds of resistance alive; sustaining Greeks through the Ottoman Occupation, the War for Independence, civil war, Nazi brutality and military oppression.
