2699 - Reference to Aeschylus

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias

When Aeschylus wanted to write our memory
he didn’t choose a history book
he didn’t rely on the state
he created a tragedy
The Persians.

Now the theater has no value to the state.
We want institutions that decide,
experts who record their meaningless
and we live a comedy
The Turks.
