Replying to @hermahai
7/The Thebes tablets shed light on an interesting Mycenaean institution, the process of o-pa, which refers to work or an obligation—involving the renovation, completion, or preparation of goods—undertaken by a specific private individual or local official on behalf of the palace.

En La bola negra suenan dos canciones de una de las más gigantes de la música popular griega y del rebétiko, Roza Eskenazy (1897-1980). Mujer combativa, activa en la resistencia griega frente a los nazis durante la Ocupación (1941-44). Una es 'Por qué fumo cocaína', la otra 👇🏼🇬🇷
