A grumpy man with a PhD. He is fascinated by words; when he sees them forming beautiful sentences he feels like an apprentice wizard who just produced fancy potions out of cauldrons full of frog legs and tears of bats. In his spare time he roams about town or watches anything produced and narrated by Sir David Attenborough, an inexhaustible source of similes. In Canada, he learned to love the cold, but he is much happier working in Athens.

Few statues talk, and fewer say something profound when they do. The Statue of Liberty in New York (affectionately known as Lady Liberty) was built in the late 19th century to commemorate the friendship between France and the United States. However, it soon became much more effective as a beacon of freedom, welcoming the poor, […]
Muscat is a bowl. The ring of bare hills cutting off the city from the hinterland traps heat and humidity and prevents cooling sea breezes from reaching the residents. There is also very little water. Despite these limitations, long-distance trade transformed Muscat into an elegant town with fine houses. By the 15th century, countless boats […]
On a recent sunny day, I sat at my desk, reading The Complete Short Stories by Franz Kafka. From my window, I could see the towering bell tower of Saint Spyridon Church. I was starting to get angry at Kafka’s interminable existential angst that seemed to rise from the pages of my battered copy. Joseph […]
My affection for serendipity began when John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale allowed fate to take charge of their lives in a movie whose actual storyline I no longer remember. However, the title (Serendipity) made an indelible impression, and the word keeps entering my life as a “little signal” occasionally. Serendipity describes the phenomenon of unexpectedly […]
Whether you are looking for ghosts, sweet desserts, or a religious relic unlike any other in the world, Turin is the city for you. Locals have many reasons to be proud of their city. It was the capital of a mighty kingdom; the birthplace of the Risorgimento that culminated in the unification of Italy; the […]
There is always something quite extraordinary about having the opportunity to experience the true essence of a place. France is a marvelous country full to the brim with outstanding attractions. Millions of visitors flock to its famous cities, châteaux, and natural wonders. This flood of tourists can often inundate a destination and leave you looking […]
Once upon a time, an old man in a small village thought life was astoundingly short. He could not fathom how a young man would ever embark on a journey to the next town, considering how the span of a normal life could very well fall far short of the time he needed to ride […]
Nafplion is among the most popular tourist destinations in mainland Greece. Many Greek cities experienced a rapid period of growth in the 1950s and 1960s that destroyed older neoclassical residences and their replacement with unsightly apartment buildings. By a fortunate twist of fate (or perhaps a series of proactive decisions by the authorities and the […]
Cairo is the largest city in the Arab world. More than twenty million people call it home, making it the sixth most populous city in the world. The Giza pyramid complex and the ancient Egyptian sites of Memphis (the capital of ancient Egypt during the Old Kingdom) and Heliopolis (one of the oldest cities of […]
How does someone go about getting a feel about an unfamiliar city? Especially one as historical and multifaceted as Alexandria? Most western visitors may receive their first introduction to the charms of this metropolis through the incomparable poetry of Constantine Cavafy or the evocative novels of Lawrence Durrell. However, for those able to access Arabic […]
The discovery of the royal tombs of Philip II and Alexander IV, sons of Alexander the Great and Roxane, in November 1977 is among the seminal moments of Greek archaeology. The importance of the finds and the wealth of grave goods that accompanied the illustrious dead transformed the history of ancient Greece and necessitated an […]
Clio Muse remembers the LGBT relationships of the gods in Mykonos. Following the failure of the Venizelist movement in 1935, the royalist government proceeded to persecute many of its prominent political opponents. As part of the displacement, George Papandreou and Alexandros Papanastasiou were exiled to Mykonos. Today it seems almost unthinkable that one of the most […]
