DescriptionWith
the intention of making reference to Greek antiquity, Jannis Psychopedis
composes the works in the "Sensual Elpenor" series. Each work is the
artistic aftereffect of his simultaneous dialogue with George Seferis’s poetry
and Homer’s "Odyssey", as episodes from the adventures of Elpenor are
distilled into the poems of the Greek nobelist Seferis.
