I decided to republish my collage as I feel that it reminds me of the difficult situation in Greece right now. I feel that we had to choose between Scylla and Charybdis in the referendum , two terrible things. Scylla and Charybdis were the names of the sea monsters in greek mythology, They sank ships and drowned sailors travelling through the narrow strait. These ships had to choose, when travelling through the strait, whether to get sucked into a whirl pool or get hit by a rock. There would be fatalities either way. The idioms ‘a rock and a hard place’, ‘the devil and the deep blue sea’ and ‘between two evils’ all stem form this myth. This is what I feel about the vote whether it is a ‘yes’ Nai or a ‘no’ Oxi, it will still be a very difficult road ahead for us…

Precious Pearls/Πολυτιμα Μαργαριταρια
The gemstone pearl is the birthstone for the month of June. It was a popular gem among the royals throughout the ages. Pearls are the only gems that comes from a living sea creatures like the shelled mollusk. The pearl is considered to be a naturally beautiful since the gem doesn’t need to undergo any changes in order to reveal its beauty.

Cherries In The Spring
Dangerous Beauty/Επικινδυνη Ομορφια
The poppy flower is found all over the western mediterranean and Asia. They harvest in the late Spring and early summer. These flowers are symbolic of sleep and death; and in the Greek and Roman myths poppies were used as offerings to the dead. Another interpretation of the red poppy is the promise of resurrection after death.
Οι παπαρούνες μπορούν να βρεθούν σε όλη τη Δυτικη Μεσόγειο και στην Ασία. Θερίζουν στα τέλη της άνοιξης και στις αρχές του καλοκαιριού. Αυτά τα κοκκινα λουλούδια συμβολιζουν τον ύπνου και τον θάνατο. Στηv Eλληνική και Ρωμαϊκή μυθολογία οι παπαρούνες χρησιμοποιήθηκαν ως προσφορές προς τους νεκρούς. Μια άλλη ερμηνεία την παπαρούνα είναι οτι υπόσχεται την ανάστασης μετά το θάνατο.
