European Pagan Memory Day: polygreeks
http://polygreeks.livejournal.com/18397.html
European Pagan Memory Day. Historia magistra vitae", so Cicero defines history in his "De oratore". History, the memory of past events and processes as a warning for the future. To look for and to give knowledge of these facts: this is the aim of this proposal of a European Pagan Memory Day, a day in which we can remember horrors in order to not forget them. But also a day in which celebrate the rebirth of paganism, because if there is a Pagan Memory Day, there are Pagan people who remember.

Modern Versus Ancient: polygreeks
http://polygreeks.livejournal.com/16937.html
Thinking of posting this to a few Hellenic places, along with the temple article that I mentioned, which I will post for you guys in the next entry. I'm not talking about building golf courses or condos. But what about hospitals, schools, houses? What about the places that aren't touristy? Religiously, what are our obligations to these places? Do we choose between jobs for today and preserving our culture for tomorrow? Is there a way to compromise? For those of us who are, whether in the diaspora or in H...

I'm Back!: polygreeks
http://polygreeks.livejournal.com/16527.html
Geia sas. I just got back from the gynachologist. Got my projestin-only pills, got my anual tests now and after three months of not taking a drag, I put on some Stratos Pagioumtzis and Markos Vamvakaris and had a Karelia! I wanted to try that brand for a long time, and though it wasn't what I'd expected, I think the excitement was too much for me to judge either way. But the tobacco was really good, I know that much. Anyway, I'm back and man does it feel good! Post a new comment. Post a new comment.

Dance Rhythms: polygreeks

As an aside, he played pontiakos for me and that's got to be one of the most difficult rhythms I've ever heard. He was a professsional drummer and was also a musician in the Hellenic Air Force, so that probably helped, but I'm pretty good at that kind of thing myself and was lost. Post a new comment.

National Anthem: polygreeks
http://polygreeks.livejournal.com/15585.html
Γεια σας. I posted this in. Before starting, some of the rebetika links at my wannastart pages offer downloads, and the patriotic one linked to here has full songs. Please, I respectfully ask that if you're not ok with this, that you just skip or leave them alone. Geia sas. I'm honestly ashamed of this, but if I don't ask, I'll never know. I don't know the words to the national anthem! I'd sincerely appreciate it. Also, I'm sure it's in Katharevousa, but could you please use the monotonic system? Wannast...

On Epithets: sanegreekrecons
http://sanegreekrecons.livejournal.com/19141.html
Has an interesting post on Epithets. One practice common in modern Hellenic polytheist practice is addressing a God with a long litany of epithets. The practice comes straight from classical sources. You can't read a myth about Aphrodite without hearing Her called Laughter-loving, Golden, and half a dozen others. You can't read a story about Hermes without hearing Him called Wily one, Slayer of Argos, and many more. The vast majority of these lists of epithets provide absolutely no explanation or context...

Need Help With Books. Of all our books on Greek mythology, the most promising seems to be "Greek Myths:. Gods, Heroes and Monsters," by Ellen Switzer. Its sub-subtitle is "Their Sources,.

Most of our books on Greek history cover the classical period.To name three: "A. History of Greece," by J. B. Bury, "The Peloponnesian War," by Donald Kagan, and.
