To enjoy the International Greek Vocabulary Day of 9 Feb 2023, a video was created from the Ministry of Foreign Matters, Deputy Minister of International Affairs, General Secretariat for Greeks Abroad & Open public Diplomacy: Under the title “The Greek Language in its Timelessness… The Re-enchantment of the World”, 23 young people from all over the world, who attend Greek educational institutions and Greek language applications, recite verses by one of the most prominent Greek poets plus authors. The video pays homage to the long history of Greek literature, and especially Greek poetic works, from Homer’s legendary poems –the earliest enduring works of ancient Greek literature– and the famous tragedians (who always wrote in verse) to Greece’s national poet, Dionysios Solomos, and the worldwide renowned C. P. Cavafy, and finally to the country’s Books Nobel laureates and other great authors of the 20th centuries.
