Her poem :
"Homer's Greece"
Vasiliki Karatasiou Copyright © 2023
Today I met Homer.
His beard grew longer over time.
It unfolded through the pages of the Odyssey.
I traveled with him to Greece.
We went for a walk to the Acropolis.
He told me about the glow of history by feeling the marbles.
He couldn't see.
The eyes of his soul were wide open.
We greeted Caryatida up close together. But he didn't smile.
The epic poet gave me a wild olive branch looking towards the Aegean.
He said in a whisper: Greece, my child, is this blue-green sea, these marbles and the living language over the centuries.
Greece is the people who delivered it free. Greece is us!
It is written and translated into English by Vasiliki Karatasiou, philologist, writer, general secretary of the Union of Writers-Writers of Larisa (E.LO.SY.L).
