Comment about the president’s interview to Bloomberg

Το μήνυμα που λάβαμε  σχετικά με την συνέντευξη που έδωσε ο Πρόεδρος της Ελληνικής Κοινότητας στο Bloomberg για την οικονομική κρίση.

Παρακαλώ να διαβιβάσετε στο Αξιότιμο Πρόεδρο σας, Κύριο  Χατζή τις ευχαριστίες μας για την πολλή καλή συνέντευξή του στο Bloomberg. Μας έκανε εθνικά υπερήφανους.  Τι θα μπορούσαν άραγε χειρότερο να μας κάνουν οι ξένοι όταν μόνοι μας βγάζουμε τα μάτια μας??

Iphigenia in Aulis

Classic Stage Ireland

Presents

‘Iphigenia in Aulis’

Continuing their exploration of Ancient Greek drama started with ‘The Bacchae’ and ‘Oedipus the King’, Classic Stage Ireland return with another gripping Greek tragedy, Euripides” Iphigenia in Aulis: a powerful tale of human sacrifice and the eternal conflict between personal loyalties and the greater good.

When Helen, Queen of Sparta, abandons her husband for the Prince of Troy a thousand ships are launched on a mission to reclaim her and to punish Troy.

The fleet is becalmed at Aulis and goddess Artemis decrees if the fleet’s commander Agamemnon will sacrifice his daughter to her she will send a wind to drive them on to war. His daughter, Iphigenia, is summoned but when her mother, Clytemnestra, uncovers the plan she resolves to halt the sacrifice at any cost.
