"...The proceedings of the conference ‘Elytis of Europe’ constitute an important and essential tool for the study of the Elytis universe and, at the same time, a glimpse into the way in which past and present intellectuals engage with the immensely significant work of the great Greek poet."
– Tessy Baila, culturenow.grPaola Maria Minucci
