Aspects of tragedy, ancient and modern

Article Abstract:

The portrayal of tragic heroism, vision and experience in ancient literature imparts an agonizing anxiety of the human spirit, both terrifying and redeeming, which helps people to better understand personal limits and human limitations. Tragedy in the modern context is transformed radically into a demeaning process from what, in ancient times, was considered noble and heroic. It is now common, trivial and inconsequential. Ancient as against modern tragedy is evaluated.

Albanians in Greek clothing

Article Abstract:

An influx of poor, non-Greek-speaking Albanians into neighboring Greece is causing social problems. Pouring through the now open border, many Albanians are unable to find work in Greece, and turn instead to crime. The situation is exacerbated by increasing immigration of ethnic Greeks and animosities between Greece and Albania, as well as religious differences.
