"It has been stated that modern Greeks 'are as pagan and as polytheistic in their hearts as ever were their ancestors.' [132 citing scholars--J.C. Lawson, M.P. Nilsson, G.A. Megas, and A.B. Cook].

Der er en hel del slåen-på-brystet over at Kong Georg var dansk. Hvis man kigger nøjere efter, så er Grækenlands historie fyldt med krige, hvor generaler og konge har fået slagtet titusinder af deres landsmænd uden at der er kommet noget bedre ud af det. Prins Peter siger da også i forordet at alene i hans tid har Grækenland set 5 krige, ca 1 for hvert tiende år. Denne bog er skrevet af en amerikaner, så der er selvfølgelig også noget om alle de penge, amerikanerne hældte i Grækenland efter anden verdenskrig.

Ret patos-fyldt bog uden ret meget gods.

In Japan, individuals of extraordinary talent and vision are recognized as living national treasures as they live out their later years. The American writer Alexander Eliot should be given honorary Japanese citizenship and awarded that honor.

Alexander in "The Timeless Myths" coins the term, "mythosphere", to describe the reach of myth across cultures and epochs. For Alexander Eliot, the mythosphere is the intellectual and spiritual tissue that embodies our humanity.

Alexander was the lead art critic for Time magazine from 1945 until 1960. His articles on the growth of American post-war art and the rise of New York as the center of the art world were unsigned per Time's policy of that era. But he was able to gather some of the most pertinent information into his volume,"Three Hundred Years of American Painting" - published in 1957. The book was a huge success and along with a Guggenheim grant enabled Alex to move to Greece to further his studies of art and myth which now has led to the crowning work of his career: "The Timeless Myths".… (plus d'informations)
