WG is a great website to discuss Greek places to travel to as well as traditions, history, and mythology. However, I think it would be a great tool for ANYbody and for HS students to learn about Greeks ancient and modern if we had a literature forum with specific references to and info about, lyrical and dramatic poets, theologians, philosophers, scientists, medical writers, historians/ethnologists, etc. // yes/no?
ALL ABOUT THE HISTORICAL GREEK [linguistic] INTELLECT, the NOUS POIETIKOS, the summit of Greek culture. // don't wait for artificial intelligence.......

I look a lot for contemporary Greek literature in English. Sources would be good and I love the idea of a literature forum here.

Best Greek Independence Day Parades?

I know Greek Independence Day is coming up. I am curious, where in the word are there the best celebrations? I don't have time to travel far this year, but I could keep in mind for next year.

What do people typically do in Greece for it? Are there parades? Where is the biggest parade? I know in the US there are typically parades in Chicago, New York, and Boston.

When does Greek Lent start?

I know that Greek Easter is a week after Western Easter this year - sometime in Mid April. I actually observe Western Easter, but I love Greek cooking and culture, so I joined the forum.

I want to learn more about the religious side of things for Greeks. I know that lent is coming up, does anyone know when it starts? I am talking about Greek Lent. I might borrow some Greek lenten recipes as time goes on for my own lenten journey... But I will post on that when the time comes.

Learning Greek percussion

I am a percussionist (hand drumming) and usually when I jam out with other Greek musicians, I usually play the bongos.

I decided that I want to learn the traditional Greek hand drums but the problem is, I don't know what the drums are called and where I can get one. I looked online but since I don't know what I am searching for, I couldn't find anything.

Not sure I would need lessons, but it would be nice to also have access to a resource that can show me some beats, or find a local musician.

National holidays in Greece with history?

I have been researching about Greek history and culture lately. Recently, I spent some time learning about the events surrounding Greek Independence Day and thought the research was very satisfying.

I would love to repeat it! Are there any national holidays in Greece coming up that point to events in history? If so, what should I pay attention to and what should I research?

Going to a Greek Christening Soon

I am agonizing over what to give the child. I have been to plenty of christenings and I typically give money.

This is a different situation because I am a bit closer to the family than normal. I want to be more generous than I usually am. I will still give money, but I want to give a gift to open. Do you have any advice? It's a boy...
