Greek Drama Kings

Time for introducing Athens [perspective] for a daily dose of great photography and a view of every day life in one of the world's greatest capitals.

Found on Amalias Avenue right opposite Syntagma Square (Parliament) - the three great tragedians of classical Athens: Sophocles (of Oedipus and Antigone fame) , Euripides (known for his strong female characters) and Aeschylus (recognised as the founder or father of tragedy.

Every Greek loves a bit of melodrama. It's our collective inheritance. Thus the drama queen antics on the streets of Athens everyday. Explains the taxi drivers too. >>>
