Today, we celebrate all those named Stratis and Stratoula, and the program Time in Greece presents a unique tribute to the name, its roots, and the famous Stratoses who left their mark on history in one way or another.
The journey will take us to the village of Stratos in Aetolia-Acarnania and to Ai Stratis, a site of exile and suffering for thousands of fighters. We will meet the great Stratos Dionysiou and listen to the unique timbre of Stratos Payioumtzis’ voice while uncovering his story. We’ll also discuss Ioannis Stratos, the armatolos and hero of the Greek War of Independence, and trace the trajectory of Stratis Myrivilis, who ultimately abandoned his literary identity in favor of organized anti-communist propaganda.
