“Markaris was talking instead about a set of values, including the
importance of living in solidarity with others in community, which
enabled Greeks for centuries to live, as philosopher and sociologist
Edgar Morin would say, ‘poetically’—literally so, when you think this
is a country where ordinary people, even those who couldn’t read,
would know by heart the works of poets, embedded in the songs they
sang. It was a culture marked by its people’s ability to celebrate the
small things in everyday life and the resourcefulness to do it well
despite limited means.” Stefanos Christoforos
