Dimitris Karantzas
Helen by Euripides
“…all for an empty tunic, all for a Helen.”
George Seferis
Dimitris Karantzas, at age 26, with a company of young actors and artists presents Euripides’ Helen (412 BC). In this tragedy with a happy ending, the real Helen lives in Egypt while the woman in Troy who has the same name is nothing but her look-alike phantom, an invention of the gods – so much trouble for a “cloud,” the poet muses with much bitterness as Athens mourns the dead of the Sicilian Expedition.
