In a quote from the movie "The Other Me", François Cluzet, addressing Pygmalion Dadakaridis, says: "But why, while the rest of the world wants to resemble the ancient Greeks, do you want to resemble the rest of the world?"

For the first part of the question, more than one book has been written, mainly by foreign authors. "The Riddle of Ancient Greece - Explaining Ancient Greek Culture to Children" is the domestic contribution of Professor Nestor Kurakis. There are many who will argue that there is rich literature on the subject and they will not be wrong. However, the differentiation of this particular work is that it is enjoyable to read for people of all ages and educational levels. It is written in a simple and understandable way, so that it has the necessary clarity to introduce a young person to some fundamental ideas, concepts, and events. At the same time, it is aimed at older readers who wish to broaden their knowledge.

In conclusion, the return to spirituality and the treasure of Greek tradition is, according to Professor Kurakis, the capable and necessary condition for overcoming the crisis.
