And in fact in a prominent position. Everything we have as imprints of our country, from poems, music, paintings, are fermented with the sea. Even our national symbol, the Greek flag, is painted with its blue sea and sky.

  According to our mythology and Hesiod, in the beginning Chaos. From the chaos emerged the eternal darkness, Erebus and the dark Nyx. From these the eternal light Ether and the glorious Day. Then Gaia, Tartarus and Eros. And it is Gaia who gave birth to Heaven and the Sea.

  For the ancient Greeks, Sea was the goddess with the human peak that protected the liquid element. She gave birth to Heaven and the Mountains. It is depicted in many aspects of art, with the most important one in the Temple of Poseidon in Ancient Corinth. There, in a complex with the god Poseidon and Amphitrite, she is represented holding in her warm arms her foam-born daughter, Aphrodite.

  From then until today, the sea rains every Greek memory. Trade and military power. The historiography and the cry "Thalatta, thalatta" by Xenophon's Myriads. The naval battle of Salamis. The campaign of Alexander the Great. Purple Byzantium and its investment in the fleet. The revolution of 1821 with Laskarina and Manto. Elli and her torpedo.

   SEA AND POETRY

   In the course of the maritime history of Greece, came the music with island songs and obituaries. And poetry. With "My God, what blue do you spend so that we do not see you" and "Be careful to pronounce the word sea clearly, so that all the dolphins shine in it" by Elytis.  And "Who will be able to exhaust the sea?" of Seferis. And the "The most beautiful sea is the one we have not Armenianized yet. The most beautiful child has not yet grown up. " (Nazim Hikmet) -Translated by Giannis Ritsou. And finally, the most modern of the beloved Thessaloniki poet, Dinos Christianopoulos:  ‘‘Alas if we cut the baths, just because five or six were drowned. Alas if we betray the sea, because it has ways to swallow us. The sea is like love: a thousand rejoice in it - one pays for it. ”
