Speak Ancient Greek and Think Inspired Thoughts: 19th Edition
Travel to Greece and improve and deepen your knowledge of Attic Greek: what friend of Hellas wouldn’t be tempted. In the entire world there is only one opportunity to do so. Students from many countries and backgrounds assemble in a large, shady garden on the rocky shores of the Gulf of Corinth and discover to their surprise that they can converse, read and discuss stimulating ancient texts all in the language of ancient Greece. The seminar, a project of the Hellenikon Idyllion, has been offered by the center's founder Andreas Drekis for eighteen years as a special opportunity. His hotel also hosts musicians and artists, whose concerts and performances enliven many an evening. An short trip to see objects of interest and a production in an ancient theatre is also possible. The Hellenikon Idyllion is located on the north coast of the Peloponnese near Egion, a Greek vacation destination thanks to its particularly alluring and relaxing character. Accommodation is available in rooms with 3-4 beds for student participants. Single and double-bed rooms are also available to adults upon request. Students who wish to continue the study of the Ancient Greek language and its literature have the opportunity to remain at the Hellenikon free of charge until the end of September (for more information please consult the Hellenikon Idyllion’s internet site.) The price for accommodation in the 3-4 bed rooms is 200 Euros. The price of the course (4 hours a day) is 50 Euros to be collected by the teacher.

When Alexander the Great met the cynical philosoph Diogenes in Korinth, he asked him: "What is now your greatest desire?", and Diogenes answered: "Please step aside, because I cannot see the sun!"In the Hellenikon Idyllion people don't live in barrels yet, which can be turned to the sunlight, but there are a lot of Hollywood- swings, and so you can choose to rest relaxed and philosophize in the shadow or in the sun.....
