Vasilikon 1888

EURIPIDES HAD NAMED 

A TRAGEDY AFTER HIM… 

AND MYTHS RECOUNT

THAT “TAMPERED” WERE 

THE TICKETS OF THE LOTTERY

WITH WHICH CRESPHONTES WON

THE FERTILE LAND OF MESSINIA 

AS A KINGDOM. 

WITH MEROPE HE THEN HAD 

THREE SONS, BUT TWO OF THEM 

WERE MURDERED, AS HE WAS… 

ONLY HIS THIRD, AEPYTUS, REMAINED

TO TAKE REVENGE AND GLORIFY 

THE FAMILY’S POOR NAME.

IS SOWING WINDS AND REAPING STORMS REALLY WORTH MORE THAN SLEEPING SOUNDLY AT NIGHT?
