Seferis became an outspoken critic of the nationalist right-wing Regime of the Colonels that violently took control of Greece in 1967. On March 28, 1969, he made a statement on the BBC World Service, with copies distributed to every newspaper in Athens stating, "This anomaly must end". Although he had become a popular hero for his resistance to the regime, Seferis died before it was overthrown. During his funeral in 1971 huge crowds followed his coffin through the streets of Athens, singing Mikis Theodorakis’ setting of Seferis’ poem 'Denial', which was banned at the time by the government. 📕📗📘📙📕📗📘📙 #gasstationburrito #books #bookstagram #bookish #bookworm #booknerd #bookaholic #booklove #bookquotes #bookishfeatures #authorquotes #quotes #bookfeaturepage #bookishfeatures #librarian_of_gram #bookaholic #Instaquotes #igquotes #booksofinstagram #Bookporn #literaryhistory #onthisday #giorgosseferis #resistance #thismustend #poet #september2025% Off Bags & Tabletop Items at Society6 with promocode FALLFIX 🎒 This includes coffee mugs, can coolers, travel mugs, coasters, serving trays, cutting boards, duffle bags, tote bags, carry-all pouches and backpacks! ☕️ Check out all the great products in our Society6 shop here http://tiny.cc/GasStationB or follow the link in our profile to shop all the great designs we have available!

He was awarded the Noble Prize in Literature in 1963. Although he was the first Greek to win the award, in his acceptance speech, Seferis chose rather to emphasise his own humanist philosophy, concluding: "When on his way to Thebes Oedipus encountered the Sphinx, his answer to its riddle was: 'Man'. That simple word destroyed the monster. We have many monsters to destroy. Let us think of the answer of Oedipus." 📕📗📘📙📕📗📘📙 #gasstationburrito #books #bookstagram #bookish #bookworm #booknerd #bookaholic #booklove #bookquotes #bookishfeatures #authorquotes #quotes #bookfeaturepage #bookishfeatures #librarian_of_gram #bookaholic #Instaquotes #igquotes #booksofinstagram #Bookporn #literaryhistory #onthisday #reading #giorgosseferis #poet #september20 #humanist #mankind #oedipus #nobelprizeI watched the 1963 film version “Lord is the Flies” only one time when my brother was reading the novel in high school. Maybe it’s because I was only ten or eleven at the time, or maybe it would hold true today if I were to watch it again, but it was one of the most terrifying movies I’ve ever seen, and Piggy’s death haunts me to this day. 📕📗📘📙📕📗📘📙 #gasstationburrito #books #bookstagram #bookish #bookworm #booknerd #bookaholic #booklove #bookquotes #bookishfeatures #authorquotes #quotes #bookfeaturepage #bookishfeatures #librarian_of_gram #bookaholic #Instaquotes #igquotes #booksofinstagram #Bookporn #literaryhistory #onthisday #williamgolding #rippiggy #lordoftheflies #theworld #slippingaway #chaos #deevolution #september1930% Off Bedding + Home Decor At Society6 with PromoCode FALLDECOR 🛏 Check out all the great products in our Society6 shop here http://tiny.cc/GasStationB or follow the link in our profile to shop all the great designs we have available!
