Poetic Roads-Literary Byzantine Poetry

A unique and original presentation of learned Byzantine poetry (comedic, erotic and satirical), through the reading of twenty poems in the Byzantine archaic language, you will have the opportunity to enjoy, with free admission, in the historic, Byzantine chapel of the Holy Apostles, on the afternoon of Saturday, November 8th, 2025. The action will begin at 18:30 and end at 19:15.

Passers-by will be able to watch the event in small groups due to the church's limited capacity. Also, due to the limited number of texts, their readings will be repeated so more people can enjoy this exceptional experience during their brief stay inside the temple.

The direction and scenography of the action are signed by the versatile Dimitris Iliopoulos, who, together with the actress and director Olga Alexandropoulou, will introduce us to Byzantine poetry with their recitations.

* The action is under the auspices and support of the Holy Metropolis of Messinia and the Ephorate of Antiquities of Messinia.
