In the beginning, there was Chaos. From Chaos were born the primordial gods, who, in turn, gave rise to the gods of the Cosmos—the “gods of the gods”!
These Cosmic gods then brought forth the Olympians, the “gods of the mortals”—the “Earthly” gods! Gods who ceased to be mere personifications of natural phenomena and became ideas. Ideas that reflect the imperfect and complex idols of mortals themselves. Idols of the mortals who first “created” gods …and then worshipped them!
But The gods and myths of Greece are not merely stories; they are allegories! Reflections of humanity’s deepest fears, hidden desires, and the endless quest for meaning in a chaotic and unpredictable world.
The “rebellion” of Prometheus, who risked Zeus’s wrath to bestow fire upon humanity, symbolises human courage and the pursuit of progress. Athena’s wisdom, intertwined with war, expresses the eternal need for balance between reason and strength. Meanwhile, Zeus’s unrelenting thirst for power is nothing less than an allegory for the unexplored facets of human ambition.
Inevitably, Myths became a bridge to “reason,” laying the foundations for philosophy and science. They shaped the bedrock of how societies structured their thought processes, even to this day.
By seeking out the allegories and delving into the myths, the reader uncovers their own self. For humans, the creators of myths, are not only shaped by them but also “reshape” themselves through them. They evolve their thinking through the myths they themselves tell, as well as those they have heard from others.
For, ultimately, not only Zeus, but humans too, “speak in myths”!

Hypothermia Is Not an Excuse" by Tomazo (aka Thomas) Pagonis is an uproarious and satirical theatrical masterpiece that blends absurdity, history, and biting humor. Centered around three eccentric women—Liza Macbeth, Valeria Mesalina, and Rosa Dewitt Bukater—on a chaotic quest for eternal youth, the play spirals into a whirlwind of vanity, betrayal, and hilariously misguided magical rituals. As their antics unfold against the backdrop of the Titanic’s ill-fated voyage, audiences are treated to sharp critiques of ambition, identity, and human folly. With its meta-theatrical humor, unforgettable characters, and poignant moments of existential reflection, Hypothermia Is Not an Excuse is a brilliantly absurd exploration of life’s greatest truths hidden in the most ridiculous farces.

Δεν αναζήτησα την αλήθεια στους αριθμούς ούτε στις ψυχρές εξισώσεις του σύμπαντος. Την αναζήτησα στους μύθους, στις λέξεις των ποιητών, στις αλληγορίες των αρχαίων κειμένων. Κι αν δεν βρήκα τις απαντήσεις που πόθησα δεν πειράζει. Τουλάχιστον βρήκα ερωτήσεις που είχαν νόημα. (Ο Ταξιδιώτης των Μύθων)
Σε αυτό το βιβλίο, ο ταξιδιώτης των μύθων συνεχίζει τις περιπλανήσεις του και συναντά τους ανθρώπους των θεών. Τους θεούς του Ολύμπου. Όχι ως απλός αφηγητής, αλλά ως στοχαστής και ερευνητής ακολουθεί τους μύθους από την επικράτηση των Ολύμπιων θεών μέχρι τον κατακλυσμό του Δευκαλίωνα.
Ίσως κάποτε και η δική μας εποχή γίνει μύθος. Ίσως, αιώνες από τώρα, ένας άλλος ταξιδιώτης περπατήσει στα ερείπια των πόλεών μας και νιώσει δέος. Μα εγώ δεν θα είμαι εκεί για να του πω τη μεγάλη αλήθεια: πως εμείς, που ζήσαμε σε αυτή την εποχή, τα σπουδαία επιτεύγματα της νόησης—αν υπήρξαν—δεν τα αναγνωρίσαμε. (Ο Ταξιδευτής των Μύθων)
Τον έλεγαν Πενθέα Χ. και μου είπε πως εργαζόταν σε διαλυτήριο πλοίων. Πως είχε υψηλή θέση και πως το «οικονομικό» το είχε λυμένο…. Είπε ακόμα πως του άρεσαν τα δημιουργικά «χαλάσματα». Πως του άρεσε να «δωρίζει» αυτό που άλλοι νομίζουν πως είναι «τέλος» και το ονομάζουν θάνατο. Έτσι είπε… -«Δωρίζω θάνατο στους θνησιγενείς! Στην αρχή, ήταν χόμπι! Μα σύντομα εξελίχθηκε σε δημιουργική τέχνη! Και σε επιστήμη!» Και εγώ δεν είπα τίποτα. Πήρα το ύφος του παγερά αδιάφορου ακροατή και τον άφησα να συνεχίσει δίχως στιγμή να τον διακόψω.
