The tree then would stand happy and would grow,
and wish its olives to be sweet and rich
so that all people would enjoy their taste;
for joy is always greater when it’s shared.


The series Myths and Legends of Modern Greece invites us to remember and be enchanted again by the words of old times, words that comforted people and kept them company, words that tried to explain whatever scared or charmed them in the past and passed on orally from one generation to another. Myths and legends to share with our children, now that we don’t narrate stories the way people did in the past.
