WOW MOSCOW!


WOW MOSCOW!

Where Stars from the World of Writers assembled with pride.
And celebrated their existence as people of the same planet.
Tears of Joy dropped as we embraced, hagged and Sang together
The patriotic songs of Pushkin’s birth and works.
The foundation of Moscow’s culture and life.
We sang the songs on our way to the World Trade Center
Where life was alive with Margareta- the President of WOW
Life was alive with books of Literature from across the World
They sparked off debates, songs, dances and refreshments that lit up the air.
The walls of meeting Halls announced the 2nd birthday of WOW
Vividly smiling and crying like born again comrades.

The WOW President led the way to the boat at the holy river too!
We sing the songs, eat and dance again and again.
Is this real? Yes, it was not a dream.
Moscow was the fortress of Struggle around the World.
The land of Pushkin’s birth love justice and peace for all.
They resented and fought the Mongolians and Narzis
They resented and fought with their bothers and sisters against colonialism and slavery around the world.
No media should distort history!
We are alive with the facts and truth that surface always.
We are people of the same planet.
WOW!!

    Homer: The Timeless Models of the Hero

    Epic poetry, which began to develop in the early Geometric Period (1000 BC), reached its full maturity with Homer, who lived in the 8th century BC. Through his heroic epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey, Homer celebrates and brings together two fundamental models of heroism: Achilles, distinguished by his courage, willpower and right action, and Odysseus, distinguished by his prudence, skill in action, effectiveness and altruistic intelligence, which connects the hero with himself and with nature. Homer and Philosophy: Convergences and Analogies Through Time  Achilles’ right action, that is, action free from attachment to its fruits or outcomes, would later find expression in various philosophical traditions: in Plato, in Stoic philosophy (according to which virtue has value in and of itself), in Giordano Bruno and in Kant (acting out of duty, for the sake of duty itself). Plato considered that the philosopher’s primary task was to weave together the virtues of courage and prudence, harmonising will and wisdom. Furthermore, he believed that the fundamental task of the philosopher who becomes a statesman is to ensure the harmonious coexistence of all citizens within the fabric of social life. When a single ruler governs, it is essential that he combines the virtues of courage and prudence. When several rulers govern, courageous and prudent individuals must coexist. Homer in the Renaissance: The Harmony of Strength and Wisdom  The representatives of the Renaissance spirit sought to overcome the contradictions and conflicts of their time and to create a better world. This desire for change led them to seek inspiration in the classical world. Ancient thought was revived through philosophy, while myths and symbols re-emerged through art, particularly painting. Giordano Bruno symbolically portrayed the harmony between strength and wisdom in his work On the Composition of Images, Signs and Ideas, through the figure of a man holding a sceptre in his right hand and a book in his left, symbolising power and wisdom respectively. Paolo Veronese also depicted the symbolic union of strength and wisdom in his painting Allegory of Strength and Wisdom. The painting portrays Hercules, whose gaze is directed towards the earthly world, alongside a female figure representing wisdom, whose gaze is directed towards the celestial and spiritual world. Homer in the Contemporary World: The Timeless Relevance of His Values  Courage Leads to Prudence  A courageous person follows the golden mean. They avoid extremes, both recklessness and cowardice. They maintain their inner balance and do not allow difficulties, despair, melancholy or sorrow to dominate their thoughts and behaviour. Courage helps them overcome psychological and physical difficulties, master their impulses and preserve their inner strength. Prudence, on the other hand, enables them to distinguish right from wrong and to choose the appropriate course of action. Courage without prudence can turn into recklessness, while prudence without courage can remain inactive knowledge. The true fulfilment of the human being lies in the harmonious coexistence of courage and prudence, of strength and wisdom. This is perhaps the timeless message that we can draw from Homer and carry into the contemporary world. Thank you very much for your attention. Yannis K. Fikas President of the Academy of Farsala
