God Dionysus & the Pirates

A publication of the School Life and Education Museum

The publication of the School Life and Education Museum with the title “God Dionysus and the Pirates – a journey to myth and history through the fairy tale” by Kostas Stoforos with illustrations by Eleana Markou, resulted from the walks in Plaka organized by the Museum (EKEDISY) together with Fairytale Kitchen.

One of the most favorite destinations of these walks is the Monument of Lysicrates, a sponsored monument, the only one that survives in its entirety from the time of ancient Athens.

A visit to this monument, which later became part of a monastery of Capuchin monks, allows us to unravel the tangle of centuries of history.

The frieze of the monument, which depicts the myth of the abduction of the god Dionysus by Tyrrhenian pirates, makes our journey through history even more fascinating! 

We wanted to share this journey with you through our storybook, complemented by a detailed glossary and creative activities for children.

We wish to continue this journey with other books that will help us get to know the history of Athens better!

You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.

Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

Our destiny is what we want it to be, not what has been carved in stone. It's our life, not someone else's dream.

Silvana De Mari, The Last Elf

And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.​

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

The emotional qualities are antagonistic to clear reasoning.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Sign of Four

As we count up the memories from one journey, we head off on another. Remembering those who went ahead. Remembering those who will follow after. And someday, we will meet all those people again, out beyond the horizon.

Hiro Arikawa, The Travelling Cat Chronicles

I would have liked to cry: the make-up stopped me, it looked just right, with the cracks, with the places where it was beginning to flake off, tears would have ruined all that. I could cry later, if I still felt like it.

Heinrich Böll, The Clown

You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.

Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

Our destiny is what we want it to be, not what has been carved in stone. It's our life, not someone else's dream.
