Ποιος είναι ο αγαπημένος σου χαρακτήρας από ελληνικές σειρές;
Υπάρχουν πολλοί χαρακτήρες που μου αρέσουν.
Από το Παρά 5, είναι η Ντάλια Χατζηαλεξάνδρου, γιατί θαυμάζω την τρέλα της και επειδή την φαντάζομαι αυτιστική, μιας και εγώ είμαι, και ο Σπύρος, γιατί είμαι φοιτήτρια και ταυτίζομαι με μερικά από τα προβλήματα που αντιμετωπίζει.
Από τις Σαββατογεννημένες, η αγαπημένη μου από το κεντρικό τρίο (αν και όλες μου αρέσουν) είναι η Σούλα, δεν ξέρω γιατί, αλλά μου φαίνεται πιο ώριμη.
Από Κωνσταντίνου και Ελένης, πάντοτε θεωρούσα την Πέγκυ και την Ματίνα τις πιο αστείες.
Τέλος, Σωσώ από τα "Εγκλήματα". Απλά ο καλύτερος κακός που έχει εμφανιστεί στην ελληνική τηλεόραση.

8, 13 & 15 for the nationality ask game!
8. do you get confused with other nationalities? if so, which ones and by whom?
I don't really find myself often in situations where people could've get me mixed up - or rather, I expect people have Thoughts when they see me abroad but I wouldn't know what they think.
Once, though, I went to a cafe with my Spanish teacher and we spent the afternoon talking in Spanish. When the time came to pay the waiter, he asked about our languages and we explained to him we were just practising. He said "oh, I thought the girl might have been Spanish".
13. does your country (or family) have any specific superstitions or traditions that might seem strange to outsiders?
Ooh definitely, lots of them! We've already talked about drinking from another person's glass ;) To stay in that vein, it's bad luck to clink your glass with another person if it's empty or it contains water, and you're not supposed to clink glasses during a funeral meal. Speaking of which. a funeral meal may also be an unusual tradition outside of Greece? Basically, after the funeral service, the attendants are supposed to gather and have lunch all together, courtesy of the deceased person's family. And the food traditionally served during a funeral meal is... fish soup!
15. a saying, joke, or hermetic meme that only people from your country will get?
Again, LOTS of them! I'll pick a fun one:
There's this Greek sitcom, Konstantinou Kai Elenis (of Constantine and Helen, Wikipedia link). It came out in 1998, ran for 2 seasons and has basically been on re-run every afternoon ever since. Lots of people have gotten sick of it by now xD but for all its shortcomings (it's 25 years old by now, let's not forget), it was super quotable and the characters were such perfect caricatures that they have become synonyms for certain characteristics.
For instance, Mánthos Foust��nos, one of the show's side characters, is now a (derogatory) synonym for skirt-chaser, and his line "Peggy, my only love" (spoken to his official girlfriend) is used to denote someone who is lying about being faithful. Eg.:
Girl #1: He said he needs some time and it's not me, it's him.
Girl #2: Peggy, my only love. (Which means: he's seeing someone else, duh.)
I am the type of person who memorizes these sort of lines and feel such kinship with people who also have a good database of K&E quotes! xD

I have this urge to put English subs on Konstantinou kai Elenis but then I remember Americans are snob about subs
PLEASE DO PUT SUBS!! PLEASE!! (You or whoever is thinking about it)
1. Many Americans are not snobs and by making films and series accessible to them we expose them more to other cultures. That's good for everyone
2. English subs make the content available to an international level. I've managed to see many foreign films thanks to English subs and I am grateful to whoever wrote the subs and helped the film enter my life. Mexican, Japanese, Sudanese and more might stumble upon the videos and watch the whole thing.
3. Greeks of diaspora/people of Greek descent don't always know Greek (or they know little Greek). Having the subs allows them to practice their Greek or get in touch with how life is in Greece (even through comedic series)
I've been thinking of adding subs but due to my many hours of work I barely have the energy to keep this blog, much less create subs from zero. If someone has that time and wants to do it, this is your sign to start!
• Sto Para Pente needs subs as well, since only the first episodes have subs.

(If you saw my comment in the previous reblog and didn’t get it, now you’ll understand what I was talking about.)
I see you post various versions of Bacchae @alatismeni-theitsa (I reblogged the good one) but you forgot the one true performance, the one that cancels all else mediocre attempts, the only one that can be engraved to memory.
youtube
I so want this to be somebody’s first exposure to the Greek language. I even have a suggestion. Say to somebody you learned some Greek and when they ask you to speak it, say what she says, which is: “skílles tis líssas, tréxte ghríghora sto vounó amolithíte pou houn sínaxi i kóres tou káthmou (me ton ístro kendíste)”. But please also do it in the manner she does, it’s essential.

"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!😘
