George Kordis has painted a frieze along the walls of the third floor of the School of Philosophy of the University of Athens. The mural constitutes a modern artistic creation, bold and brave: by deploying the simple colour system of Polygnotus, the artist has exploited the style of religious icon-making, keeping close to the norms that govern it, both internal and external. All the scenes of Homer's Odyssey that are presented on the mural are annotated using original Homeric text in the ancient script. The resulting artistic creation is in accordance with its grey surroundings, and it converses with the uninterrupted architecture of the building which was designed back in the 1960s. Furthermore, it lights up the building and foregrounds it through a harmonious composition resonant with rhythm through its shaped forms, its lively gestures, its elongated figures, its minute details.
