The Anatomy of Arcadia
His wry and beautifully-written excursion into a dystopian Arcadia is rooted in his sardonic wit and in the pitiless eye that he turns on modern Greece, on modern Greeks, and, not the least, on himself. - Witold Rybczynski
Methydrion
Arcadia. the sound of pan pipes in leafy, sunny hollows; shepherds and the Goat God merrymaking in a painting by any one of the Old Masters; a vanished age of heroes, gods and goddesses. we each have our own images. But there is a reality behind the legend, and in this fascinating, immaculately researched book, Athanasius N Kollias opens it both for the lay reader and the scholar. Kollias gives us a detailed and exact picture of the archaeology, the topography, the daily life, the economy, the convoluted politics, the shifting alliances and constant warfare, of one particular city and area of Arcadia, from the earliest to relatively modern times. Methydrion is a microcosm, but anyone who reads this book will have an infinitely fuller idea of "the glory that was Greece", and of the first and arguably greatest culture of Europe, whose ideas, whether or not we know it, still inform our language, our ethics, our politics and our daily life. Athanasius N. Kollias was born in Athens, Greece, in 1946. His family originates from Arcadia. His grandfather was born in Nemnitsa, modern-day Methydrion, near the ruins of ancient Methydrion.

Gods of Arcadia
Eons ago the gods of Mt. Olympus ruled over the developing civilization of ancient Greece. From the heights of their mountain retreat the gods manipulated and forced mankind to their will. But one day the Olympians grew bored with the mundane world - as immortals are predisposed to do. They looked away from their children for just a moment and the Earth changed. No longer were the names Zeus, Hera, and Athena whispered with awe and terror, but forgotten until they were nothing more than myths from the dawn of time. To their regret the Olympians discovered no amount of manipulation or terror could bring mankind back into the fold, and so they were obliged to start again. Transplanting a small...
Vendetta in Arcadia
VENDETTA IN ARCADIA Tells of a blood feud that would not stop, how a single spontaneous act of violence brought an abrupt end to a profound love story and of the physical, emotional and spiritual consequences that reverberated throughout the hills and valleys of glorious Arcadia. Based on the true story of Kostas and Vasilis, two young men from warring clans, it tells of Broken Bodies and Broken Hearts, but also of Miracles, of a Far-Seeing Priest with Magic in his Fingers and of the Inner Power that so often goes untapped. The action unfolds in an era when there were no cars and rifles fired lead balls; before doctors, when the sick and injured went to gifted healers; when fame as a healer ...
