Tomkinson takes you on a journey into the dark regions of the Hellenic folk memory. Here you will meet the fearful strangles, who murder infants in their cots; beautiful nymphs who entice young men into insanity: the dead who climb out of their graves to prey upon their friends and relatives; the mischievous demons who emerge from the underworld during the twelve nights of Christmas; ax-heated serpents which haunt churches and foretell death; the rainbow-plumaged bird whose flight signals imminent catastrophe; and many even more terrible creatures. Some of these may have haunted the imagination of this most inventive people for more than three millennia.","image":"http://www.biblionet.gr/images/covers/b101949.jpg","isbn":"960-88087-0-7","isbn13":"978-960-88087-0-6","ismn":null,"issn":null,"series":null,"pages":173,"publication_year":2004,"publication_place":"Αθήνα","price":null,"price_updated_at":null,"cover_type":"Μαλακό εξώφυλλο","availability":"Κυκλοφορεί","format":"Βιβλίο","original_language":null,"original_title":null,"publisher_id":1547,"extra":null,"biblionet_id":101949,"url":"https://v2.bibliography.gr/books/haunted-greece.json"},{"id":128144,"title":"Island-Hopping in the Cyclades","subtitle":null,"description":"\"Our voyage was a very characteristic one in these islands. We planned to go to Antiparos, and we started with a favourable though slight breeze. This died away altogether before we got an hour on our way; the exceeding heat of the sun, and ominous clouds on the horizon, made our sailors anxious about the upshot. We said we would sail for Amorgos if possible, and started in that direction, for the breeze was freshening from the west. Before very long the breeze became too fresh, and our men insisted on running for los; but we found we could by no means go round the northern point of Sikinos, so we had to retrace our way almost back to the harbour of Pholygandros.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt soon began to blow with a vengeance; it was impossible to make for los. \"Let us run for Santorin,\" we said, getting more and more disgusted at our fate. But no; hardly had we gone a mile than our captain said it would not be safe; we must put in to Sikinos, on the southern side. What horrors! were we again going to be storm-stayed at Sikinos? We saw to our delight, the Sikinos caique put off and make for los. \"Surely,\" we said, \"if that craft can go we can\"; but it put back again almost immediately, and our hearts sank within us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn our despair we implored our captain to make an attempt to reach los, and, the weather having taken a favourable turn, he promised to try. Though much tossed about and drenched with the waves, we reached our haven in safety shortly after 10 o'clock, after a day's bitter experience of the uncertainty of caique-sailing. It is impossible to make any plans beforehand in the winter time; it is not where you will go, but where you can get, when amongst the islands where steamers do not

I saw through the trees the crowding of men, white fustanells and arms! Whether or not escape was practicable, it did not enter into my mind to enquire; resistance was out of the question; but, in the confidence which extensive practice among these men had given me, I felt only incensed at the outrage, and reckoned on instant submission* I therefore turned and galloped towards them. I was certainly led into another train of reflection, when I saw a couple turn at me, holding their muskets levelled. I held up my hands, unarmed, (I was unarmed, except a pair of horse pistols in my holsters,) but they made a rush on both sides, vociferating imprecations, and distorting their faces into the most hideous and exasperating grimaces ...
