Much like archaeologists, Giannis and I found ourselves in possession
of an extraordinary amphora—meticulously adorned and crafted with
unparalleled skill. However, our challenge lay in the fact that, akin
to many archaeological discoveries, this amphora lay shattered into
numerous fragments. Now, I comprehend the source of archaeologists’
enthusiasm.
The endeavor to reconstruct the unearthed object propels them
into the exhilaration of methodically piecing together all the parts,
progressively guiding them to the joy of restoring the object, which,
in turn, begins to narrate its own history. Essentially, this is what
they sought from the initial strike of the shovel.
Consequently, we unveiled a narrative dating back at least 5000
years, honing in on the 5th century BCE. This period held significance
as the Greeks had touched upon the ideal, compelling us to somehow
revive the history of those days.
