Sevasti the Rememberer (2024)
A biographical narrative preserving the voice of a woman born in 1930s Athens. Through my grandmother's storytelling, the work captures family histories from the Dodecanese Islands and Russia, experiences of WWII occupation and Civil War, and a woman's journey through an era of intense social constraints.
Based on true events, 'Sevasti i Epimnemon' (published in Greek) is being serialised in Greek Radio Florida. Here you'll find all installments of the story collected in one place, along with their corresponding links.

Greek Myths and Archetypes Explained
I've completed a manuscript (approx. 43,000 words) that creates a vital bridge between popular storytelling and scholarly analysis of Greek mythology. Working directly with ancient texts, I explore these timeless narratives through multiple lenses - etymological insights, Jungian archetypes, and interpretations from Pythagorean, Orphic, and Platonic traditions. The result is a fresh, interdisciplinary perspective that reveals both the cultural-philosophical context of these myths and their profound psychological relevance to modern life.
Currently, I'm developing illustrations to complement the text and exploring publishing opportunities.

Greek Music Translated and Unlocked
Through my YouTube channel, I'm bridging cultural gaps by giving Greek songs their English voice - without losing their soul. These aren't mere translations; they're careful adaptations that preserve the emotional power and rhythmic essence of the originals. Each song becomes a gateway for English speakers to experience the raw beauty of Greek music while maintaining its 'singability' and poetic impact. My approach focuses on capturing not just the words, but the heart behind them.

Greek Enough? A Native Outsider's Guide to Identity, Chaos and Belonging
My upcoming book dives deep into the beautiful contradictions of Greek identity. Through personal narrative and cultural analysis, it explores fascinating paradoxes like "The Independent Family-dependent" and "The Orthodox Anarchist" - identities that somehow make perfect sense in the Greek context. The work examines how international politics, historical dynamics and generational trauma shape modern Greek life. This book offers an insider-outsider's perspective on navigating the chaos and beauty of cultural belonging. [Sample Chapter Coming Soon]
