    A massive tome of modern epic poetry, Kazantzakis thought of this as his greatest work, though he had written 𝑍𝑜𝑟𝑏𝑎 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐺𝑟𝑒𝑒𝑘 and 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐿𝑎𝑠𝑡 𝑇𝑒𝑚𝑝𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑜𝑓 𝐶ℎ𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑡. This will take me a couple of months!

  2. Lyrics by the Greek Cretan writer #NikosKazantzakis from his 1953 #novel Captain Michalis -Καπετάν Μιχάλης.

    How beautiful Crete is, beautiful.
    Would I were an eagle to look with admiration from high on the wind at all of her.

    O Crete abandoned by God, how many generations have raised their voices?
    Who is there to listen to you?

    Even God himself needs a threat
    To achieve his miracle.
    Take your gun.
    Lift your gun again.
