For the upcoming anniversary of the Greek OHI-Day (NO-DAY) we would like to point at a very special book written by Greek Nobel Laureate Odysseas Elytis, “An Heroic and Funeral Chant for the Lieutenant Lost in Albania” published in 1962. The answer “NO” of Greek Prime Minister Metaxas was given on October 28, 1940, declining the Italian ultimatum to agree to the annexation of Greece by Italian troops. The Greco-Italian war and the resulting Albanian Front were the immediate consequences. Elytis participated in this war as a second lieutenant and experienced firsthand the inhumane cruelty of war and the unspeakable pain it causes. He offers some of the most poignant pages in modern Greek literature for what constitutes a pain so deep that only the blind fate of war conflicts can cause; a young lieutenant full of life, who did not have time to live, is in the center of interest. A heroic, yet adamantly anti-war poem that focuses on the loss and mourning of one, to fully highlight the devastating impact of this and every other war.
