The game of life from the eyes of Aristofanis

Life is a game of changes, chances and possibilites and as Steven Hawking said, the waise person is that one who fits and adapt to the change.
You bet without knowing the resolts.
You drop the dice without knowing what it will bring you.
You can take the risks, or you can stay in your path and never know what it might be happen if...
Life is like chess.
Each move requiers a lot of thought.
With some excellents movements you can success a qualitative mat.
Perhaps your competitor makes a roua mate or the game will be end draw.
A game of odds,
but if you enjoy the duration of it,
the resolts will be certainly good.

Thinking the game of life,
Aristofanis came to my mind.
He had a unique style to mock life.
The following video is writen from a very famous writer in the field of comic drama.
Its a music remake, of the anciant theatrical play the Arcarians from Aristofanis
by Dionysis Savvopoulos.

This part called paravasis and as paravasis, Aristofanis discrabe the time that the story stops by the dancers and they main character terns his eyes from the co-competitors to the odion.
A brake from the play.

In this video we hear four of the best Greek singers in now days.

The original play, describes an Athinian farmer who is inside the walls of town.
Tired from the war with Peloponneseus that keeps him away from his farms, he ask hearing from the church of the municipality.
Determined to speak for peace with the Spartians managed to convince the attendees of the church.
One person, Amfitheos, claims that with suitable supplies can make the trip but the convenrion don't want peace. So Dikeopolis, secretly from the others, takes the risks and ask him to go and make peace only for his famile . Amfitheos making the trip and he comes back with three samples of peace for Dikeopolis. Arcarians (the dancers) becoming furious with Dikeopolis but before kill him they let him speak to defend him self, couse in ancient Greece the Democracy demand that.
A comedy for peace.

I ll try to translate the lyrics of Mr.Savvopoulos.

I chose that becouse presents with irony (comical drama) the political situation of our country in our days.

In a festive race you played amades
(a game with flat stones one above the other where the players throwing another from far to fall them down)
and you didn't want the comic child.
But now the game wining the Karvounades
(old nickname for an area with good fighters of Peloponnisos)
who have the poets favor.
He lives with all the good things
earned it with blood and sacrifices.
For the interests of all of you
and for common good.
He won't tell you compliments,
he doesn't know flatters,
and for your happiness plays with the time.
Muse Karvounarou, cinder foul of fire,
Spark which strengthens by the breath of a crazy man.
Vardari (northwest wind) you are talking like an eaten fish,
multiplied as a loaf of bread.
Come on Sunday with your heavy tempo
and both we heard there Sophia Vembo (a old famous singer).
Who is going to take care of us now that we are old, in our times.
I fought long time in all the fields and like a blind maniac i rip the enemy.
Now, is operating me a blind youth,
a bad company of young people which makes criticism.
The old people separately,
the young people are some other thing, whoever wants them together shall pay the price.
Fine of a lifetime
at the hourglass and in the appeals
its a shame of the judge's shadow.
