"My personal experience, long and powerful in tragic theater, allows me to assure you that your knowledge of tragedy and its profound understanding, its poetic exaltation, are identical to the need of my effort to live the end like Oedipus of Colonus and that you have mentally formulated him metaphysically and for this I will be eternally grateful to you, like Sophocles himself. With warm love." (Athens, October 14, 1990, Alexis Minotis)
