Athens Collectibles

Most of the products here are not unique; they are listed under other categories too. We just thought of creating a separate category with bi-lingual products, useful to Greeks living abroad. These products may remind them of the country they or their parents came from to USA, Canada, Australia, all over the world. They may also help their children to maintain contact with the fatherland and practice in Greek language.

We shall be glad and feel proud to hear from you. You don't have to buy anything. Just come in and say "hello", discuss about anything you wish. Like talking to a friend.

Medea (Greek: Μήδεια, Mēdeia) is a woman in Greek mythology. She was the daughter of King Aeλtes of Colchis, niece of Circe, granddaughter of the sun god Helios, and later wife to the hero Jason, with whom she had two children: Mermeros and Pheres. In Euripides's play Medea, Jason leaves Medea when Creon, king of Corinth, offers him his daughter, Creusa or Glauce. The play tells of how Medea gets her revenge on her husband for this betrayal.

In Greek mythology the sun was personified as Helios (Greek: Ήλιος, Latinized as Helius.) Homer often calls him simply Titan or Hyperion, while Hesiod (Theogony 371) and the Homeric Hymn separate him as a son of the Titans Hyperion and Theia (Hesiod) or Euryphaessa (Homeric Hymn) and brother of the goddesses Selene, the moon, and Eos, the dawn. The names of these three were also the common Greek words for sun, moon and dawn.
