Summary

[edit]
Description
Nederlands: (Bron Wikipedia)

Dit monument langs de baan van Areopolis naar Gythion in de Mani (Peloponnesos) is opgedragen aan de Griekse journalist geboren in de Mani George Tsimbidaros, pseudoniem "George Fteris" (14/0/9/1891-14/09/1967) die voornamelijk leefde en werkte als buitenlandcorrespondent in Europa (Rome, Parijs), en tevens schrijver, dichter en criticus. In het monument staat, van de hand van zijn vriend Michael Tombros, een buste van zijn hoofd met op de schouder de afbeelding een wenende vrouw, de Mani verbeeldend, die rouwt om zijn dood. Zijn dochter Elyana zei "Omdat mijn vader een nederig mens was wenste nooit een monument, en hechtte hij nooit geloof aan monumenten; mijn moeder niettemin drong aan dat hij een herinnering verdiende".

De foto is genomen tijdens mijn rondreis door de Mani in mei 2018.

This monument on the road connecting the towns of Areopoli and Gytheio in the Mani region (Peloponnesos) has been dedicated to the Greek journalist of Maniot origin George Tsimbidaros, pseudonym "George Fteris" (1891-09-14 - 1967-09-14) who mainly lived and worked as a foreign correspondent in Europe (Rome, Paris), also writer, poet and critic. On his monument is a bust of his head sculpted by his friend Michael Tombros. On his shoulder, a woman representing Mani is weeping, mourning his death. His daughter Elyana said, "My father never wanted a monument because he was a very humble person, and he never believed in monuments; my mother insisted that he deserved one though."

The photo was taken during my tour of the Mani in May 2018.
