Sirens: Mythical Creatures of Enchanting Music

Οι Σειρήνες, οι μυθικές μορφές της αρχαίας ελληνικής μυθολογίας, έχουν γοητεύσει και εμπνεύσει ανθρώπους ανά τους αιώνες με τη μαγευτική τους μουσική και το υπέροχο τραγούδι τους.

Cassandra: Timeless Symbol of Human Struggle

Η Κασσάνδρα, κόρη του βασιλιά Πρίαμου και της βασίλισσας Εκάβης της Τροίας, υπήρξε μια από τις πιο τραγικές μορφές της ελληνικής μυθολογίας. Γεννημένη περίπου το 1200 π.Χ., η ζωή της σημαδεύτηκε από το χάρισμα της προφητείας, το οποίο της δόθηκε από τον θεό Απόλλωνα. Ωστόσο, καταδικασμένη να μην την πιστεύει κανείς, η Κασσάνδρα έζησε μια ζωή γεμάτη απόγνωση και πόνο, μέχρι τον θάνατό της κατά την πτώση της Τροίας. Η ιστορία της είναι άρρηκτα συνδεδεμένη με την τραγική μοίρα της […]
