"Konstantinou Kai Elenis" (English Translation; "Of Constantine And Of Helen")

Hello beautiful people of the internet. You might wondering what the hell this post is about. Well, it's a post explaining to non-greek people about a Greek series called "Of Constantine And Of Helen".

Warning: SPOILERS AHEAD!

Basic information:

"Of Constantine And Of Helen" ran from 1998 to 2000 on Ant1 channel. It had 2 seasons and a total of 68 episodes. It's undeniable Greece's most iconic and famous show (with only "Sto Para Pente" [literally, "In The Nick Of Time"] rivalring it in terms of popularity), mainly because it was immediately reran after the series's finale, which resulted in it becoming a greek household name, even to people who weren't born during the time it was originally shown.

The show stars Haris Romas as Konstantinos Katakouzinos, Eleni Rantou as Eleni Vlachaki, Vasilis Koukouras as Manthos Foustanos, Maria Lekaki as Peggy Carra, Stergios Nene as Nikolas Varthakoulias and Kallirhoe Miryiagou as Matina Mantarinaki

It was greatly inspired by greek series "Ex Adiairetaiou" (literally, "Ab Indiviso"), another series by Haris Romas and Anna Xatzisophia.

Plot and Characters:

The series focus on two completely different individuals, Konstantinos Katakouzinos and Eleni Vlachaki, who hate each other with a passion, but are forced to live under the same roof. Why, you may ask?

Apparently, Konstantinos' uncle promised his nephew that he would give him the house in his will. However, in another will, he promised the same house to Eleni. Because no one could find out which will was the recent one (which mean that the old one would be rejected), these two stay there and wait for the trial which will solve the whole mess.

Konstantinos is an incredibly religious and grumpy person who teach Byzantine history in a prestigious university in Athens. He's afraid of germs, doesn't get along with anyone (except with his best friend, Manthos) and tends to use archaic words in his speeches, as well as not understanding some of the modern phrases that his friends use. Eleni, on the other side, is more laid-back and disorganized than Konstantinos. She works at a bar at Exarxia alongside her best friend, Peggy and Nikos, and enjoys flirting with men and having fun.

Despite their hatred, they ended up getting married at the series finale.

Manthos is Konstantinos' best friend and a huge Playboy who's in a relationship with Peggy. However, Manthos has multiple girlfriends behind Peggy's back and calls each one of them "(insert female name), my only love".

Peggy Carra is Elenis' best friend and an extremely untalented actress who is unaware of how horrible her acting skills are. The only acting job she's ever taken is one in a serviette advertising, which she mentions to everyone she meets.

Nikolas is the barman at the bar that Eleni and Peggy work at and sees himself as a Playboy, because he rides a motorcycle. He makes out with Matina at the end of the series.

Matina is the neighbor of the two main characters and a childhood friend of their who has low self-esteem, wears glasses and modest clothes and refers to herself as "little lowly chamomile" and "little insignificant ant". She's obsessed with wedding and that obsession, combined with her low esteem, makes her undesirable to any potential suitor. She makes out with Nikos at the end of the series.

My thoughts:

It might be the most famous Greek series, but it's far from being my favourite. Don't get me wrong, it's still one of my favorites and I'll binge it and enjoy it when I'm bored and have nothing else to do, but that doesn't change the fact that it has its problems.

But first, let's start with the things that I (as well as many others) like about this show and have made it a Cult Classic among us Greeks. First of all, Constantine and Helen's dynamics and completely opposite personalities, which are always funny and enjoyable to watch.

I'll be honest, this and "To kafe tis Haras" introduced me to the "Opposites Attract" and "Enemies to Lovers" tropes.

And if you think about it, it's amazing how they managed to create such entertaining and well-thought plots with such a small budget, full of jokes that we still meme this day.

I have a small complain (that I had with "To kafe tis Haras" as well, but forgot to add it) about the way certain groups of people (gays, minorities, Albanians, unemployeds, travesties, harlots etc) are portrayed. Small, because that's how things were back then (and how could anyone in those times know that it would be wrong 20 years later?), but still needs to be addressed!

While the actors do a great job playing their roles, the characters themselves can feel flat and annoying sometimes, especially Matina (though, I admit it, I really liked the confidence she gained at the finale of the series after she finally made out with Nikos).

That also applies to Peggy, who's one of my favorites female characters, though the main reason I like her is because of her trashing acting. Wonder why? Because this trashing acting made "Antigone" and "The Bacchae" popular again in Greece.

Seriously, who can forget lines such as "Ω ταφε μου, κρεβάτι μου νυφικό, σπίτι μου στην παλιά την γη και αιώνιο κελί μου;" or "ΣΚΥΛΕΣ ΤΙΣ ΛΥΣΣΑΣ! Τρέξτε γρήγορα, αμολυθειτε στο βουνό που έχουν σύναξη οι κόρες του Κάδμου! Βιαστειτε! Με τον ιστρο κεντιστε-ε-ε!"

Unpopular opinion over here (and you may hate me for saying that), but I'm not a big fan of Manthos. He can be an entertaining character to watch and many of his lines made me burst out laughing, but I don't like that he cheats on Peggy on numerous occasions as well as the fact that he always got angry whenever he assumed that Peggy had affairs behind his back, which I think is a bit hypocritical.

The last episodes where Konstantinos and Eleni got married felt rushed and not well-handled, maybe because the last we see about these characters is arguing. The only explanation I can give is that they wanted to show us that Konstantinos and Eleni will continue to fight, even after their wedding, but deep down they love each other. I still felt unsatisfied.

Another problem I have is not about the series itself, but about the way the channel handles it. To begin with, it's about the episodes they choose to air. Like, have you ever noticed that they have never aired the first episodes, to explain how the whole show started in the first place?!

Also, the constant rerun! On one hand, I'm grateful for that, since this is how I became familiar with the series in such a young age. But on the other hand, it led to many other wonderful and amazing series being overshadowed and ignored.

Now that I thinking about it, I have more problems with it than I originally thought. That doesn't change the fact that I still enjoy it and I'm willing to acknowledge its flaws.

I want to conclude this post by pointing out a great mystery that was never answered in this show: τελικά είχε ή δεν είχε η Ειρήνη η Αθηναία μπιντέ;!

That’s all I had to offer. Hoped you enjoy it and I’ll see you soon. Bye!😘

s1 jon sims and s1 konstantinos katakouzinos have the exact same energy except katakouzinos would definitely call jon a slur. idk why im writing this

“Apousies”/ “Absences” (gr.title “Απουσίες”) is a 1987 by director Giorgos Katakouzinos.

In early 20th century Athens, a retired army officer,patriarch of a respected but impoverished family,dies. His much younger wife having abandoned him many years earlier, his three daughters are left alone and in debt. In their new uncertain situation,trauma kept at bay for years compels them to repeat the mistakes of their parents.The eldest, mother of an illegitimate son confined secretly in the house, is austere and repressed.Thus she assumes her father’s mantle and exerts oppresive and isolating control over her sisters.The second,rebellious and lively, is suffocating in this sterile environment,and thus becomes intrigued by the elusive figure of her mother.Tensions between the sisters reach a breaking point when a cavalry captain comes to live next to them. The youngest sister, still a child, observes helpless the ruin of her family.

This little-known greek historical drama owes much to the long tradition of psychosexual familial tragedies like Federico Garcia Lorca’s “The House of Bernarda Alba” and Ingmar Bergman’s “Cries and Whispers”. The fates of the three women are defined by the absences in their lives (absences of their parents or companions,of love and warmth) and the often misguided and destructive ways they try to fill in these absences, all the while psychologically trapped and socially constrained by the still victorian morals of the pre-war athenian high society. It is a profound character study and a miniature portrait of the troubled mores of one of the most rarely examined periods in greek fiction. The film boasts beautiful cinematography and notable perfromances by acclaimed actors Themis Bazaka,Pemy Zouni and Nikitas Tsakiroglou.

Highly recommended watch.

Say you are a developer, and you use Git for one of your projects. You want to share the changes you made with your users, but you don’t know how. Well, then this article is for you. In the last part of this series, I shared with you how to write a good commit message. I gave you an overview of the benefits of writing a good commit, and I mentioned the possibility of generating a changelog. In this article, you will learn what a changelog is along with two ways to generate it – a simple one and a sophisticated one. What is a changelog? A changelog is a file that shares a chronologically ordered list of the changes you've made on your project. It’s often organized by the version with the date followed by a list of added, improved, and removed features. Globally, there are two ways to write a changelog: the usual way: create a text file and start to enumerate all your changes with a specific date the developer choice (alias the lazy option): auto-generate your changelog from your commit messages. I have good news for you – this is what you’re going to learn in this article! “A changelog is a log or record of all notable changes made to a project. The project is often a website or software project, and the changelog usually includes records of changes such as bug fixes, new features, etc.” – Wikipedia Why is it essential? I think, even now, you are asking yourself why it is essential and why you should take the time to create it. A changelog is a kind of summary of all your changes. It should be easy to understand both by the users using your project and the developers working on it. In a world where everything is evolving quickly, a user needs to know if the website/software they are using is changing. You might be surprised, but people love to read blog posts or an update page on your website. For a developer, for example, if the project is big, it can be interesting to know how the software they're working on is evolving. Or if you are working on an open-source project, you can find a "CHANGELOG.md" file in the GitHub repository. This file aims to inform contributors of the latest updates on the project. CHANGELOG.md of Angular.js GitHub repository Where do we find them? Changelogs are everywhere! Okay, they often have different styles and locations, but they're literally on every project. I created a short list with a few places where you can find a changelog. A blog post. A changelog can be delivered under an article sharing the last features point by point. A "CHANGELOG.md" file in a GitHub repository. A Changelog section on your favourite website/software. Here's one example with the task management tool TickTick. In "What's new" on the Android and the IOS store. TickTick "What's new" section on AndroidTickTick "What's new" section on iOS Changelog auto-generation In this part, we're going to generate our first changelog together. By doing this task, you will understand why it can be useful to commit by following some rules. An excellent and explicit commit doesn't need to be modified and can be directly added to the changelog. If you are interested in generating a necessary file without any personalisation or beautification, I recommend the first way; otherwise, the second one is better. Note: Some websites such as Keep A Changelog explain that you shouldn't make a changelog only by copying and pasting your git commits (refer to the simple way). Indeed, I recommend trying to avoid this way if you are working on a professional product. However, nowadays, there are some advanced generators that allow you to change your git logs into changelogs (refer to the sophisticated way). How to generate a changelog (the simple way) By using this first way, you don't need any prerequisites. All you need is to type a few commands inside your Git repository. As a simple reminder, when you type "git log", a list of all your commits is displayed. $ git log // Output commit f6986f8e52c1f889c8649ec75c5abac003102999 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD) Author: Sam Katakouzinos Date: Tue Mar 10 11:41:18 2020 +1100 docs(developers): commit message format typo Any line of the commit message cannot be longer *than* 100 characters! Closes #17006 commit ff963de73ab8913bce27a1e75ac01f53e8ece1d9 Author: Chives Date: Thu Feb 6 19:05:57 2020 -0500 docs($aria): get the docs working for the service Closes #16945 commit 2b28c540ad7ebf4a9c3a6f108a9cb5b673d3712d Author: comet Date: Mon Jan 27 19:49:55 2020 -0600 docs(*): fix spelling errors Closes #16942 This command can take a few parameters. We are going to use them to change the output and get an improved one to generate our changelog. By typing the following command, you will have an output with one commit per line. $ git log --oneline --decorate // Output f6986f8e5 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD) docs(developers): commit message format typo ff963de73 docs($aria): get the docs working for the service 2b28c540a docs(*): fix spelling errors 68701efb9 chore(*): fix serving of URI-encoded files on code.angularjs.org c8a6e8450 chore(package): fix scripts for latest Node 10.x on Windows 0cd592f49 docs(angular.errorHandlingConfig): fix typo (wether --> whether) a4daf1f76 docs(angular.copy): fix `getter`/`setter` formatting be6a6d80e chore(*): update copyright year to 2020 36f17c926 docs: add mention to changelog ff5f782b2 docs: add mention to changelog 27460db1d docs: release notes for 1.7.9 add78e620 fix(angular.merge): do not merge __proto__ property It’s better, but let’s see what we can do with the following one. $ git log --pretty=”%s” // Output docs(developers): commit message format typo docs($aria): get the docs working for the service docs(*): fix spelling errors chore(*): fix serving of URI-encoded files on code.angularjs.org chore(package): fix scripts for latest Node 10.x on Windows docs(angular.errorHandlingConfig): fix typo (wether --> whether) docs(angular.copy): fix `getter`/`setter` formatting chore(*): update copyright year to 2020 docs: add mention to changelog docs: add mention to changelog docs: release notes for 1.7.9 fix(angular.merge): do not merge __proto__ property With this one, you can print the list of commits with the style you want. The “%s” corresponds to the commit title itself. You can modify the string to style your commit as you like. In our case, we want to create a list. $ git log --pretty="- %s" // Output - docs(developers): commit message format typo - docs($aria): get the docs working for the service - docs(*): fix spelling errors - chore(*): fix serving of URI-encoded files on code.angularjs.org - chore(package): fix scripts for latest Node 10.x on Windows - docs(angular.errorHandlingConfig): fix typo (wether --> whether) - docs(angular.copy): fix `getter`/`setter` formatting - chore(*): update copyright year to 2020 - docs: add mention to changelog - docs: add mention to changelog - docs: release notes for 1.7.9 - fix(angular.merge): do not merge __proto__ property You did it! You created a simple changelog. Note: If you want to go further, and save your changelog faster: instead of copying and pasting the result into a file, redirect it to your terminal by typing “git log --pretty="- %s" > CHANGELOG.md” How to generate a changelog (the sophisticated way) Prerequisites We are now going to explore a sophisticated way to generate a changelog. The idea behind the process stays the same, but this time we’re going to use other tools to help us. Do you remember when in the last part of this series I wrote about the Git guidelines? Note: Git guidelines are a set of rules to write your commits better. These guidelines help you add some structure to your commits. When you are using a guideline for your project, you can use tools to generate a changelog. Most of the time, these tools are better because they allow you to create a markdown formatted changelog. In this example, we’re going to use a simple generator which works with most of the guidelines. Its name is “generate-changelog”, and it’s available on NPM (the Node Package Manager). This tool is going to create a stylised changelog, but it’s not the one with the most features. I decided to use it because it’s an excellent example for a beginner. If you want to go further, please refer to the list of changelog tools below: Here are a few tools you can use: Github Changelog Generator Git Chglog Auto Changelog Conventional Changelog Note: Before installing the tool, you need to have NPM installed on your computer. If you don't have it, I invite you to follow the official website (it will help you to install Node and NPM). To install the package on your computer, type the following command in your terminal. $ npm install generate-changelog -g Once you do that, it’s installed! How to use it To make this package work, you need to follow the guidelines for using this pattern – “type(category): description [flags]”. In this example, I will use the Angular.js GitHub repository. Now you can type the generate command in your terminal inside your GitHub repository. $ changelog generate A “CHANGELOG.md” file will be automatically created and filled with your logs in a markdown format. You can find an example of the output (with a markdown reader such as GitHub) below. Auto-generated changelog with generate-changelog tool Conclusion I hope you liked this guide and now understand how to create a changelog for your project. I think it’s a good way to demonstrate why you should write good commit messages. Feel free to try other changelog generators and send me the result!
