Hello dear!
Our name is a story! Our existence can not be without stories! Being Greek, everything can be related to a myth (non written history).
From the Zodiac circle to bread and water, from sky to Earth, from soul to matter, from words to feelings are all explained and set by myths!
Every day I reconsider the stories I heard from relatives, neighbors or read from books. They are all and always with me!
Little saying from grandmothers of what to do, how to behave, what to eat and what not, , etc., are keep coming back!
