Learning Greek is not only language, it's also culture. Kids in greek schools study the play "Antigone" by Sophocles. But what's this play about?
> Follow our new page The Greek Scholar for more material!
"Antigone" by Sophocles inspires us to consider the conflict between "law" and "individual conscience": Should Antigone bury her dead brother following her moral compass or let him be unburied and eaten by the dogs as Creon, the law of the state, demands?

•Οι διακοπές

•Vacation
🌊The term "Διακοπές" is used in plural because it literally means "Pauses".
🧿~One pause is never enough~

Due to recent events, "Γυναικοκτονία" is a topic of intense debate within greek social media circles.
While "Ανθρωποκτονία" is a generic term for any murder, "Γυναικοκτονία" underlines that a murder of a woman is directly linked to her gender.
Both words share the same structure and meaning with their english translations:
Ανθρωπο-κτονία (Homi-cide) Γυναικο-κτονία (Femi-cide)

χωριάτικη σαλάτα [choriatiki saláta] literally means "the peasant's salad" 🌾
History of the name.
🇬🇷Στο παρελθόν, όσοι δούλευαν στα χωριά, έπαιρναν μαζί τους για φαγητό μια ντομάτα,🍅 ένα κρεμμύδι🧅, κανένα αγγουράκι🥒 και σπάνια λίγο τυρί🧀 μαζί με ένα καρβέλι ψωμί🥖. Tα έβαζαν σε ένα πανί, που ήταν δεμένο στις άκρες του και γινόταν έτσι το "lunchbox" της εποχής.
🗣️Sto parelthón, ósi dúlevan sta choriá, épernan mazí ya fayitó mía domata,🍅 éna kremídi,🧅 kanéna aguráki🥒 ke spánia ligo tirí 🧀mazí me éna karvéli psomí🥖. Τa évazan se éna paní, pu ítan deméno stis ákres tu ke ginótan to "lunchbox" tis epochís.
🇬🇧In the past, those who worked in the countryside, normally brought with them a tomato, an onion, maybe a cucumber and rarely some cheese, together with a loaf of bread. They put everything in a big cloth which they tied by its tips and it became their "lunchbox".
