On the occasion of the Greek Independence Day 2013, this supplement aims to bring Canberrans

closer to my country through the beauty of her landscape, the rich history, the psyche of the Hellenes, their traditions, their gastronomy and their strong traditions of hospitality and mateship.It is this spirit we, as the Embassy of Greece in Canberra, celebrate on March 30, 60 years

of diplomatic presence and, through this eight page supplement, bring Greece closer to the Australian readers. From our hearts we thank all the Greek Australian friends from the business community of Canberra who volunteered gladly to sponsor this supplement. We sincerely honour them for their love of Greece and their strong sense of devotion to the Greece- Australia relationship.

Although Lemnos in 1915 was the first encounter between Greeks and Australians, it was

the Greek Campaign and especially the Battle of Crete in 1941 – one of the most heroic performances of the allies in World War II – that brought these two nations together.

If one tries to compare the two psyches, the result is an

emotional affinity between Greeks and

Australians.

The simplicity, the warmth, the mateship, the inherent heroism, the democratic spirit and ethos – all these characteristics permitted both nations to fight side by side and share an unprecedented historical experience which bonded them forever.Even today, 72 years later, modern Greeks see Australians as privileged friends. The Cretans even gave their lives for them. During the Nazi occupation, tens of villages in Crete were burned down because of the assistance provided by the local population hosting Aussies.

Hundreds of civilians were sent to execution squads for giving refuge to their friends. Thanks to the heroic behaviour of the Cretans, many Australians and New Zealanders survived under German occupation evading capture.

In post war times, the Australian friends did not forget the Greeks. The bonds of cordial friendship blossomed throughout the years.Thanks to this spirit, the migration to Australia in the years that followed enabled the Greek Australian community to further evolve in numbers and prosperity. In this spirit, each Greek Australian keeps this heritage dearly in his or her heart and views the future with determined optimism. A 700,000-strong Greek-Australian community lives and prospers today in this hospitable land.

THE GREEK-AUSTRALIAN RELATIONSHIPGreece and Australia share a friendship which was strengthened during World War II’s Battle of Crete.

Ithaka By Constantine Cavafy (1863-1933) Translated by Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard

As you set out for IthakaHope your road is a long one,full of adventure, full of discovery.Laistrygonians, Cyclops,Angry Poseidon – don’t be afraid of them:you’ll never find things like that on your wayas long as you keep your thoughts raised high,so long as a rare excitementstirs your spirit and your body.Laistrygonians, Cyclops,wild Poseidon – you won’t encounter themunless you bring them along inside your soul,unless your soul sets them up in front of you.

Hope your road is a long one. May there be many summer mornings when, With what pleasure, what joy, You enter harbours you’re seeing for the first time; May you stop at Phoenician trading stations to buy fine things, mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony, sensual perfume of every kind – as many sensual perfumes as you can; and you may visit many Egyptian cities to learn and go on learning from their scholars.

Keep Ithaka always in your mind. Arriving there is what you’re destined for. But don’t hurry the journey at all.Better if it lasts for years,so you’re old by the time you reach the island,wealthy with all you’ve gained on the way,not expecting Ithaka to make you rich.

Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey.Without her you wouldn’t have set out.She has nothing left to give you now.

And if you find her poor, Ithaka won’t have fooled you.Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,You’ll have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.

Greek cuisine, with its wide variety of high-quality ingredients and wisely-considered, highly-

beneficial combinations which encapsulate the knowledge of centuries, enjoys a privileged position in the global culture of taste alternatives.

Greece is characterised by its numerous island and the rugged terrain of the mainland. This morphological diversity creates worlds within worlds. A trip to Greece means a fascinating exploration of tastes, flavours, unexpected combinations and endless variety.Common characteristics are the excellent raw ingredients and flavours specific to Greece: oregano, thyme, bay leaves, rosemary, lemon and – of course – olive oil. Fine meat produced by small farmers, fresh fish, seafood, dairy products which are accredited worldwide, healthy fresh vegetables served with brilliant wine, and mouth-watering fruits all serve to create a kaleidoscope of tastes.Imaginative experiments using tried and tested recipes, unexpected combinations of exquisite ingredients and the use and renaissance of tradition result in a creative modern Greek cuisine that is lively and provocative, establishing Greece as one of the shrines of the high culinary arts.

Greece is characterised by its numerous islands and the rugged terrain of the mainland.

THE FLAVOURS OF GREECEImaginative cooking and high-quality ingredients have made Greece famous for its culinary delights.

Olive oil For Greeks, olive oil is not only the most essential cooking medium in their cuisine, but an element intertwined with the most significant moments of their lives. Ancient Greeks used to anoint newly-born children with olive oil, a custom that has survived into the present in certain villages. Today children who are baptised are anointed by the priest with olive oil and balsam blessed by a bishop.

Surviving sources have provided incontestable evidence on the use of wine in Greece from the earliest periods in the country’s history. Wine

permeated the culture and daily life of the ancient Greeks and was a standard feature of their meals, breakfast included.On the basis of extant data it is rather difficult to establish the exact date when viticulture began in Greece. It is speculated that the appearance of wine predates the birth of Christ by 15 centuries. Moreover, available historical and archaeological evidence fails to claim that wine was brought from Phoenicia to the islands of Crete and Naxos, wherefrom it spread throughout the country. Others maintain that Thrace and Aetolia were the primary source of wine for Greece. At any rate, viticulture became widespread and played a pivotal role in the country’s economy, a fact reflected in the representations of grapes and vines on ancient coins.

The significance of wine in ancient Greece is further demonstrated by the fact that Dionysus, originally the god of vegetation in general, became identified exclusively with the vine and its divine product.In terms of colour, ancient Greeks were familiar with four types of wine: white, yellowish, red and black wines. As regards to their geographical origin, historical records yield evidence of 160 locally-produced wines and another 100 vintages imported from various regions of the Mediterranean basin.

Among these, some 30 appellations were highly appreciated, in particular: Mareotikos oinos, a light, aromatic white wine from Alexandria; Taniotikos oinos, a white wine with aromatic overtones from the same area, yet, a little more pithy and astringent; Ismarian or Maronean wine, the black sweet-tasting wine with which Odysseus intoxicated Polyphemus, thus escaping from the latter’s captivity; hypnotic Thasian wine; Cnidian and Ariusian wine of Chios. Of great renown were the sweet-light wines of Thera (Santorini) and Crete, the delicate wines of Cyprus and Rhodes. The wines of Pisidia had a high reputation for their medicinal properties, while the amber-coloured wines of Phrygia were noted for their sweetness, Corfiot wines were exquisite after ageing, etc.

Wine permeated the culture and daily life of the ancient Greeks and was a standard feature of their meals, breakfast included.

Paparis Olive Grove to the Greek Community

on their National Day

Cape Sounion is located about 70 kilometres from Athens at the southernmost tip of the Attica

peninsula. It is home to the ruins of an ancient Greek temple of Poseidon, the god of the sea.The site is popular among tourists from Athens. The sunset over the Aegean Sea, as viewed from the ruins, is a magnificent spectacle. The temple of Poseidon was constructed in 444-440 BC. It is perched above the sea at a height of almost 60 metres. There were originally 42 columns and 15 still stand today. They were made of white

marble and each stood at six metres high with a one-metre diameter. The temple would have once resembled the well-preserved Temple of Hephaestus beneath the Acropolis. The ruins also bear the engraved name of English romantic poet Lord Byron. The inscription was possibly carved on the poet’s first visit to Greece before he found fame. He mentions Sounion in his poem Isles of Greece.As well as a world-renowned archaeological site, Sounion is an upmarket summer location for Athenians.

AN ANCIENT SPECTACLECape Sounion’s temple of Poseidon is a popular destination for tourists who are treated to a breathtaking sunset at the ancient site.

MY LANDMy land, surrounded by sea; My Land emerged to the world like an olive tree.Every tear, a drop of salt; every laughter a hymn to Art.Immortal spirit of the purest light, shine into the ancient temples your unending cycle.Sea-shores full of stones and shell wreaths; Pilgrimage to our heritage wealth.Come and dance, drink, and sing; Greece (Hellas) is always the beginning of all beautiful things.
