εξοχος φίλε!

It is relevant today than ever before, here we are waiting for the barbarians yet .

[burmanhands]

now I have an idea of why J. M .Coetzee chose this as the title for his famous book.

i love the voice answering in the poem the questions, is really freakish, as in a horror movie

[otleybey]

This is a sensitive reading. Thanks.  It will help my class get to grips with this poem.

I don't know any more my friend ELELEF what to believe any more, or what to say but all of this politicians are wrong what they are doing and we don't have any rights for nothing any more!

[NUSRPKINA]

I agree with you're reading, and it is the truth the barbarians are taking over today all world!

[ELELEF]

But Nada the barbarians didn't come.There are no barbarians any more.

So what kind of solution were they?

Maybe our excuse not to be responsible?

For not exercising our duties?

For not fighting for our rights?

What will become to us now?

Maybe start living like we should.

As the "political being "of aristotelis.

As free human beings.

Hope for more readings like this one

great reading Mr. Haritopoule.

You indeed reveal the powerful and magical writing of Constantine Cavafy.

I wish there will be more readings by you of Cavafy's (and other great Greek poets) so as to show remarkable moments of Greek literature and poetry abroad.
