Protesilaos
I am a philosopher living in the mountains of Cyprus at a house I built myself which I affectionately call “the hut.” I spend my free time programming on GNU Emacs, writing essays on a wide range of life issues, and doing infrastructure work around my house. My background is diverse and reflects my intellectual curiosity as well as consistently high work ethic.

Oh majestic oak tree you who saw my ancestors working in this place you who shade the birds the hours when the sun is mid sky you who with your continuous presence remind us of the link between generations give me today the strength to turn my attention to this space that environs me and to recognise that I am part...
From you the tireless honeybee I draw an example for my own life to remain consistent in my commitments to never make discounts on my principles and to always contribute with whatever way I can to the common good that unites us Από εσένα την ακούραστη μέλισσα παίρνω παράδειγμα για την ζωή μου να μένω συνεπείς στις...
In your behaviour faithful dog I recognise the meaning of community To also be a supporter of those who walk alongside me And wherever I stand to tell the people there who did not respect the dog that we do not ever sell our friends Στην συμπεριφορά σου πιστό σκυλί αναγνωρίζω την σημασία της κοινότητας Να είμαι κι...
Le jeudi 6 août 2026 à 14:30 Sacha Chua, Richard Bonichon, et moi nous allons avoir une discussion en direct sur le sujet d’Emacs.

Distant is the barking that ignites hope of a reunion As weeks fly by and although I know you are not approaching I still pull the curtain hoping to witness your innocent eyes once again or at least learn from the sparrows that you roam the wilds I am not prepared to traverse
I am not a genius. If you compare me to Leonardo Da Vinci, who was elite at everything he did, I am not even good enough at all the things I do. If you judge me relative to the skill of a Paco de Lucía or the insight of an Isaac Newton, I am several leagues away from them. Similarly, if you measure me against the...

Where religion meets opulence corruption arises. Such is a consequence of human’s frail character: its base desires are amplified by riches. That is because wealth gives the impression of boundlessness, which in turn conditions the person to think they can live beyond the limits. Limits are essential. They keep us...
Yesterday I attended an ethnic Greek (i.e. polytheistic) rite. The event took place at the outskirts of Lemessos (Limassol), on a hill overlooking the Mediterranean. There were about twenty practitioners, while I was told that there are many others in different parts of Cyprus who could not join us for one reason or...
Κάποιος φίλος με παρέπεμψε σε άρθρο του CNN που καλύπτει κάποιες από τις θρησκευτικές πρακτικές της Ελλαδικής πολυθεϊστικής ομάδας Λάβρυς: These people say worshiping ancient Greek gods is a route to modern happiness. Υπάρχουν πολλές τέτοιες ομάδες στην Ελλάδα καθώς και στην Κύπρο όπου κατοικώ. Η είδηση αυτή μου...
From sea you come to sea you go on this summer day as sun and horizon touch take the initiative to find your people and live with the hope that the dryads will let you join the golden dog on another hike
