Given their large Greek populations, Constantinople and Asia Minor featured prominently in the Greek irredentist concept of Megali Idea (lit. “Great Idea”) during the 19th century and early 20th century. The goal of Megali Idea was the liberation of all Greek-inhabited lands and the eventual establishment of a successor state to the Byzantine Empire with Constantinople as its capital.

"Είσαι παράξενη κοπέλα", είπες... "Όλοι ξυπνάνε το πρωί για να ξεκινήσουν την μέρα τους. Κι εσύ περιμένεις το ξημέρωμα για να κλείσεις το βράδυ σου", είπες...,-

Κι έτσι αντί να σε αφήσω να κοιμηθείς, σε πήρα ξημερώματα από το χέρι, σου φόρεσα κάτι πρόχειρα ρούχα και σε πήγα στη θάλασσα...

Εσύ!

Εσένα που αγάπησα.

Κοίτα άμα πιεις κι όπως πάντα μεθύσεις

Μην πεις ποτέ πως μ’αγάπησες

Δεν θ’ άφηνες να γίνω πλατανόφυλλο

Σε ξεροπόταμους να πλέω…

Κ.Γ.

The Pontic Greeks are an ethnically Greek group who traditionally lived in the region of Pontus. Pontic Greek is classified as an Indo-European, Greek language of the Attic-Ionic branch. Pontian music retains elements of the musical traditions of Ancient Greece, Byzantium, and the Caucasus. For this reason the musical style of the east Pontos has significant differences from that of the west or southwest Pontos. More like this

I like conversations where I don’t have to think about what to say. It just comes naturally.
