STREETS OF KOAN PEOPLE
I thought of writing an article in which I would mention all the streets of the town of Kos as well as of the villages that bear the names of Koans, that is, they are dedicated to distinguished people of Kos. Koans of antiquity and Koans of modern history. I was certain that I would not know more than half of them, or that I would know the name but not their work.
So, together with my friend Cleopatra, we took the map and started counting the “sure” Koans. I will begin with the first 26 and then the list will be updated, and most likely there will also be a second part, since surely readers will point out many more streets to me.
1. Hippocratous Street
Hippocrates was born in Kos in 460 B.C. and belonged to the most glorious branch of the Asclepiads. According to tradition, on his father’s side (the physician Heraclides) he descended from Asclepius, the god of medicine, and on his mother’s side (Phainarete) from the hero of Greek Mythology, Heracles. He was gifted with great diligence and a tendency for learning and studied medicine at the famous Asklepieion of Kos. After being trained in medicine, Hippocrates began to practice the profession of physician in Kos.
I have deliberately included the two different transliterations of Ippokratous Street from Greek into English; at the end of the article I will explain my opinion on whether it should be Ippokratous, Hippokratous, Hippocratous, or Hippocrates Street, an issue that has preoccupied us greatly.
2. Epicharmou Street
Epicharmus (5th c. B.C.) was a comic poet and philosopher from Kos. He became one of the greatest poets of ancient Greece.
From a young age he migrated to Syracuse while he also lived in Sicily. Very few of his works have been preserved, not complete, and those through other writers such as Diogenes Laertius, Plato, etc.
Many cities dispute his birthplace. Diogenes Laertius mentions that he was born in Astypalaia of Kos.
3. Aristonos Street
Ariston of Kos was an ancient Greek philosopher of the 3rd century B.C. He came from Kos, hence his epithet. He is classified among the Peripatetic philosophers of antiquity and was a student of the philosopher Ariston of Ceos.
4. Charmylou Street
Charmylus is a mythical hero or king from Kos, and progenitor of the clan of the Charmyleis according to Greek mythology and local traditions of the island. In Kos, there is also his tomb, located in the settlement of Pyli, in the area called Charmyli. The ancient vaulted family tomb of the hero Charmylus with its twelve uniformly hewn crypts is a semicircular structure and one of the most interesting archaeological monuments of the island. The tomb of the hero Charmylus dates back at least to the 3rd century B.C. Related post of mine:
THE CHARMYLI – THE TOMB OF CHARMYLUS AND THE HOLY CROSS
5. Heronda Street
Herondas, or Herodas, belongs to the poets of the Hellenistic period, about whom we know very little. His birthplace and place of residence are unknown. Clues from his works lead to the conclusion that he lived during the first 50 years of the 3rd century B.C. From the dialect and certain references in his poems, it is surmised that he is connected to the island of Kos and possibly to Alexandria. He was probably born in Kos, which at that time had close ties with Alexandria.
6. Chalkonos Street
Tradition has it that the Bourinna spring (of the Hellenistic period, probably) was built during the reign of Chalcōn. King Chalcōn immortalized the period of his reign by constructing a building around the spring, while also adorning Kos with other splendid works. From ancient tradition we learn that the water of this spring gushed forth when the mythical king of Kos, Chalcōn, struck the rock with his foot, then pressed it with his knee, and forced it to give way.
7. Theokritou Street
Theocritus (Syracuse, 315 B.C. – 260 B.C.) was one of the most important poets of the Hellenistic era, pioneer of bucolic poetry which flourished around the 3rd century B.C. It is said that he was born either in Kos or in Syracuse. It is also considered very likely that he lived in Kos, in Alexandria, as well as in Egypt during the period of Ptolemy II.
8. Apellou Street
Apelles was one of the most famous Greek painters of antiquity, who flourished during the early Hellenistic period. He was the favored painter of Alexander the Great. Ancient sources mention that he came from Kos or from Ephesus, but in all foreign-language texts he is referred to as Apelles of Cos. He died in 306 B.C. in Kos. Raphael may have portrayed himself as Apelles in the School of Athens, while Sandro Botticelli based two of his paintings — The Birth of Venus and The Calumny of Apelles — on his works.
“But it was Apelles of Kos, in the one hundred and twelfth Olympiad, who surpassed all other painters who either preceded or followed him. By himself he contributed more to painting than all the others together, and even went so far as to publish treatises concerning the principles of art.”
9. Koan Olympic Victors Street
Ancient Olympic victors from Kos (5):
-
Aristonomidas of Kos (1st century B.C.), or Aristonimidas, was an ancient Greek Olympic victor from Kos, crowned winner in the pentathlon at the 177th (72 B.C.) Olympic Games of antiquity.
-
Evdamos of Kos (2nd/1st century B.C.), an ancient Greek athlete from Kos, is mentioned by Eusebius of Caesarea in his work Chronicle as having been crowned Olympic victor in the stadion race at the 172nd (92 B.C.) Olympic Games of antiquity. According to the commentary of the historian Luigi Moretti, he may be the same Eudamos who was admiral of Kos, although this is uncertain since the name was quite common.
-
Xenodikos of Kos (son of Xenombrotos?, 5th/4th century B.C.), was an ancient Greek Olympic victor from Kos, crowned winner in the boys’ boxing contest at the 95th (400 B.C.) Olympic Games of antiquity. His father Xenombrotos had been an Olympic victor in the horse race (keles) in 420 B.C., at the 91st Olympiad. In some sources he himself is referred to as Xenombrotos instead of Xenodikos.
-
Xenombrotos of Kos (son of Xenodikos?, 5th century B.C.), was an ancient Greek Olympic victor from Kos, crowned winner in the horse race (keles) at the 90th (420 B.C.) Olympic Games of antiquity. He was the first Olympic victor from Kos, while his son Xenodikos became Olympic victor in boys’ boxing in 400 B.C.
-
Philon of Kos (Philinos) (son of Hegesipolis), was an Olympic victor in the stadion (192 meters) and the diaulos (two stadia). He won his first victory at the 128th Olympiad in 268 B.C. at about 14 years of age in the stadion race. In the autumn of the same year (268 B.C.) he won at the Isthmian Games in the same event. At the 129th Olympiad in 264 B.C. he again won and was crowned Olympic victor in the stadion and the diaulos. At the 130th Olympiad in 260 B.C. he once again was victorious and Olympic victor in the stadion and the diaulos.
10. Philinou Street
11. Arseniou Street
The monk Arsenios Skinourios, descendant of a wealthy family of Kos with many estates, influenced with his deeds and choices the course of monasticism in the Southeastern Aegean. He lived during the 11th century. He was a contemporary of Saint Christodoulos and contributed to his passage from Mount Latros and the Asia Minor coasts to the Aegean, where the Saint first flourished in Kos and later in Patmos.
12. Ant. Ioannidi Street
Antonios Hippokratis Ioannidis was born in Kos in 1882. He attended high school at the Pythagoreion Gymnasium of Samos and the Evangelical School of Smyrna. He studied at the Law School of the University of Athens and served as assistant to Professor Neokles Kazazes. He authored and published two treatises: On the Immortality of the Soul and The Soul according to Plato. He served as School Superintendent and member of the Synod and the Mixed Ecclesiastical Court of Kos. He also practiced law and represented the Metropolis of Kos as legal commissioner in many cases.
He was elected mayor of the town of Kos for many years, but was dismissed by the Italians in 1923. He was a fervent patriot and lived with the vision of the liberation of the Dodecanese and their union with Mother Greece. He repeatedly submitted memoranda and unionist resolutions to the Italian Authorities. In 1907 he married Terpsichore, daughter of Alexios Thomanakis and niece of Ecumenical Patriarch Germanos V Kavakopoulos, who had served as Metropolitan of Kos. Antonios Hipp. Ioannidis died on his island on June 30, 1933.
13. Zarrafti Street
Iakovos Zarraftis was born in 1853 (or 1845, which is more likely) in Asfendiou, Kos. He lived poor and obscure, and died blind during the great earthquake that leveled the town of Kos on St. George’s Day (Thomas Sunday), April 23, 1933, at 08:05 a.m., under the ruins of his poor and ancient house, together with his daughter Anthoula, who was only 34 years old.
Photographing this street in Zia, as well as the corresponding one in the town of Kos, led me to the life and work of Iakovos Zarraftis, about which you can read here: IAKOVOS ZARRAFTIS, IN HIS FOOTSTEPS.
14. Manolis Gikas Square, Mastichari
I had to read the entire book “The Midwife’s Son” by Heraklis Karanastasis (Athens, 1978) to learn the details of the dramatic life of Manolis Gikas and his family. According to it, he was born in Gerontas around 1860. When he was 15–16 years old, around 1875, he came to Kos with his widowed mother Angeliki and his two brothers, Giorgos and Nikolio. They settled in Antimachia, and Manolis—clever and hardworking—managed to become a great merchant and, after many misfortunes and difficulties, to marry for the third time his beloved Maria in 1897, who bore him 9 children (6 of whom survived). His commercial enterprises flourished more and more, whether he was involved in tobacco cultivation or in the production of wine and raki. He was the first in Kos to experiment with and produce raki from figs and carobs, because he found them cheaper and more profitable.
He was also the first to bring a car from Rhodes, converted it into a bus, and undertook the service of the Chora–Antimachia line. The man, therefore, who started as a digger, a farm laborer, an orphan and destitute, within a few years rose from a peddler and hawker to a great merchant and shop owner. A tobacco grower and trader, a winemaker and wine merchant, a car owner and bus operator. And, most importantly, a visionary, founder, and settler of Mastichari. He initially bought a piece of land from the Turkish government and built the first house-warehouse for his business. Everyone mocked him for buying the barren and arid land, but he foresaw the future and purchased the entire area, about 150 stremmata. All thought him mad and unbalanced. After, however, the terrible earthquake of February 1926, which destroyed Antimachia, he brought and settled in Mastichari, free of charge, 20 poor and homeless families who agreed to follow him. He built them shacks and small houses and transferred them to them to live in. In 1928 he donated the plot to the village and built the “Dormition of the Theotokos” church (Panagia the Pilgrimage, where you can also see his grave). He also built the school, which operated in 1951. He died full of years in 1953. (The book on the life of Manolis Gikas was given to me by his great-grandson and my friend, Giannis Gikas).
15. G. Papatheofanous Street
Gavriil Papatheofanous (1901–1963), whose bust stands to the right of the entrance of the 1st General Lyceum of Kos, served as Principal of the Hippocratean Gymnasium of Kos (1946–1962). After the earthquake of 1933, which shook and leveled the island, the Italian occupation authorities downgraded the Hippocratean Gymnasium to a Lower Gymnasium and relocated it to the building of the Metropolitan residence, on Ippokratous Street, while the duties of principal were assumed by the Koan philologist Gavriil Papatheofanous.
In the school year 1945–46, the Ministry of Education in Athens set up a Committee, chaired by the Dodecanesian professor Michail Volonakis, to staff the schools of the Dodecanese with personnel. Volonakis entrusted the Koan philologist Gavriil Papatheofanous with the difficult task of staffing and reopening the school. In this way, the first principal and the first teachers were appointed, who had the honor of teaching at the Hippocratean Gymnasium after the Liberation, and they were: Papatheofanous Gavriil (Philologist–Principal), Kampourakis Nikolaos (Mathematician), Zikas Afentoulis (Philologist), Stamatia̱dou Evangelia (Philologist), Avgoula Despina (Mathematician), Chatzivasileiou Nikolaos (French), Mavroudis Heraklis (Theologian), and Papamichail Michail (Gymnastics). At the risk of their lives they arrived on the island with an old fleet ferry in April 1946. Thus, after seven years, the Hippocratean Gymnasium reopened with 45 students. It was housed in the left wing of today’s School Complex of the 7th Primary School, on Korai Street, once again under the directorship of Gavriil Papatheofanous.
16. N. Chatzivasileiou Street
Nikolaos Chatzivasileiou, mentioned above as one of the very first teachers who had the honor of teaching at the Hippocratean Gymnasium after the Liberation (1945–46) and also in the History of Kos book by the late V. Chatzivasileiou, was a philologist teacher of the French and Greek languages and chief secretary of the first Municipality of Kos after the Union.
17. Nikolaos Zarakas Street, Pyli
Nikolaos Zarakas was born in Pyli, Kos, in 1908 and died in 1983. In 1926 he graduated from the Nikiforeio Gymnasium of Kalymnos, and in the same year he was appointed teacher in Lagoudi, while the rest of his career he worked at the Primary School of Pyli. In 1942 he was dismissed from his service by the Italian authorities for national reasons and was reinstated in 1944. He was a graduate of the Italian Teachers’ School of Rhodes and further trained at the Pedagogical Academy of Rhodes after the Union. He was praised and awarded by the Academy of Athens in 1954 and 1961 for his folklore collection entitled Folkloric Heirlooms. He was also awarded four times by the Linguistic Society of the Academy of Athens for the following works:
“Glossary of the Dialect of Pyli, Kos,” “Popular Medicine during the Years of Slavery,” “Folklore Extracts and Domestic Weaving,” “Folklore Anthology.”
18. Doctor Konstantinou Chatzithemistokli Street
Chatzithemistoklis Konstantinos, Doctor (1912–1989)
He was born in Kalymnos to poor parents. His father, Zacharias Chatzithemistoklis, came as a child from Yialousa in Cyprus, and his mother was Kalliopi. He graduated from the Nikiforeio Gymnasium of Kalymnos and, lacking financial means, worked for a short while in the orchards of Vathy. He married Kalotina Perou, and with her support he studied Medicine at the University of Athens. He graduated “with very good.” He specialized in Pathology at Evangelismos Hospital, under Thomas Doxiadis, with whom he maintained a close friendship ever since.
It was, in fact, Doxiadis who had the idea of sending pieces of plane tree from Kos to Medical Schools abroad, stamped with the seal reading “from the plane tree of Hippocrates” and signed by the Mayor. Dr. Kostas found the idea brilliant and helped him greatly. He was distinguished for his diligence, his medical judgment, his integrity, and above all his frankness—qualities he maintained throughout his life.
In 1940, during World War II, although an Italian subject as a Dodecanesian, he volunteered in the Dodecanesian Regiment, as did many Dodecanesians. Throughout the war he was seconded to the Medical Corps and served in the Naousa Hospital, a donation of I. Lanaras. Later, during the December events, he practiced medicine in Athens and experienced the horror of that conflict.
Immediately after the liberation of the Dodecanese (1947), together with his brother-in-law, the distinguished surgeon Theofilos Peros, they settled in Kos, which at that time was devastated by fevers and all the post-war hardships. Soon, they founded the clinic “Saint Panteleimon”—known throughout the Dodecanese—in the building that was once the well-known Impero, owned by the wife of Theofilos Peros. This clinic cared for the people of the Dodecanese with responsibility and love. Those who sought help there found, on the island of Hippocrates, a modern Asclepeion, with a surgeon and a pathologist.
Doctor Kostas, as everyone in Kos knew him, was always at the service of his patients, day and night. At first with a bicycle, later with a Floretta (motorbike), he would go everywhere, through rain and cold. Greeks and Ottomans alike were simply patients to him, who needed him. In fact, the poorest had his special care and affection. Fees were adjusted depending on the circumstances, for everyone. He practiced medicine with scientific knowledge but also with the broader meaning of the word: as a doctor, a family advisor, and a supporter. At a time when specialties were almost nonexistent, the doctor had to know everything—even veterinary medicine. And this made his responsibility all the heavier, as was the case with his contemporaries.
Apart from being a private doctor, he also served in IKA as a physician. His interest in medical matters also led him to the Hospital, where he served as President. With his knowledge of agronomy, he bought land in Kos and created a model orchard, following the standards of the orchards of Vathy, which he had once irrigated with his youthful enthusiasm. Rest was something unknown to him.
In November 1989 he breathed his last in Kos, the island he loved deeply. He was a thoughtful man of action, who “came, worked, left,” as it is inscribed on his grave. He was buried in Kos, but later his remains were transferred to Kalymnos, his ancestral land. He had two daughters, who studied Philology, and a son, who graduated from the School of Naval Architecture in Piraeus, though he devoted himself to the estate and hotels.
Kalymnos, October 2002
Maria Chatzithemistokli-Zairi (with the kind concession of his granddaughter, Konstantina Papachristou)
19. Evripylos Street
King of the Meropes of the island of Kos, father of Chalkiope. According to one tradition, Evripylos confronted Heracles with hostility when he went to Kos, but the hero killed him. This Evripylos (a Thessalian by origin according to one tradition) was the son of the god Poseidon and Mestra. The wife of Evripylos was Klytia, daughter of Merops. From their descendants, Pheidippos and Antiphos, took part in the Trojan War.
20. N. Manousis Street
Nikοs Konstantinou Manousis was born in the city of Kos on June 30, 1893. From a young age, poverty forced him to emigrate to New York, where he worked as a barber, a trade he learned from his father. He quickly displayed unrestrained zeal and admirable activity for the national cause, taking the lead in all movements for the liberation of the Dodecanese. The Italians, who knew of his activity, had him exiled from his island throughout the years of fascist violence and did not allow him to come to venerate the sacred soil of his beloved homeland.
In 1928, he traveled from America to Athens. He took the ship for the Dodecanese, with destination Kos, bringing with him a check with considerable dollars, which he had collected from expatriates, for the support of the schools of the island, but the Italian Authorities denied his disembarkation. He remained on the ship until Rhodes, without being able to disembark there either, and returned to Piraeus, having secretly handed the check to the sacristan of the Metropolis of Kos, who boarded the ship for this purpose, traveling with him as far as Kalymnos.
In 1934, he published in New York a luxurious Album of Kos, 94 pages, where he recounted the great drama of his compatriots from the terrible earthquake of the previous year, which spread death and turned the beautiful city of Kos into heaps of ruins, making an appeal to the people of Kos and the Dodecanese in America to assist the earthquake victims. The proceeds from the sale of this book he allocated to the reconstruction of the Metropolitan Church of Saint Nicholas.
Also, during the last war and the German Occupation, he never ceased to send, by every possible means, various sums of money to his homeland, for the needs of the poor and suffering people of Kos. A series of his articles, which were published from time to time in the daily newspaper Ethnikos Kyrix of New York and elsewhere, he decided in July 1947 to publish in Athens under the title: “The Fruitful National Action of the Dodecanesians in America” and with the subtitle: “30 years of continuous struggles for Dodecanesian Freedom.” From that 16-page edition, we drew material for the writing of these pages.
Nikos K. Manousis, immediately after the Union, settled permanently on his island, where, honored and gratefully acknowledged by the State – in 1955 the Greek Government awarded him the Gold Cross of the Order of the Phoenix – and by all his compatriots, he breathed his last on May 16, 1956.
21. Anastasios Karanastasis Street
ANASTASIOS M. KARANASTASIS (1904–1997)
Full of years and rich in works, the distinguished Philologist–Linguist, Tasos Karanastasis, departed from this transient world on June 16. Born in Kardamena of Kos in 1904, he stood out from his youth for his love of learning and his sense of honor. Coming from a large family and deprived of financial means, he worked hard in order to be able to study philology. During his student years (1925–1929) and during the years he served education in Kos and throughout the Dodecanese, he gave a brilliant example of love of learning, courtesy, and devotion to his homeland.
Newspaper "To Vima tis Ko" 1997, article by Manolis Kiapokas
A tireless worker of education and science, he participated in conferences, authored studies, articles, treatises, and books. Although he taught in Secondary Schools in many cities of Greece, always interested in perfecting his training, he pursued further studies at the Teachers’ Training College of Secondary Education while at the same time following the developments of world science. With his scientific completeness and pedagogical training, he educated Greek youth until the middle of the 20th century.
His philological, and especially linguistic, background was valued by the Academy of Athens, and he was transferred from Secondary Education to the Editorial Department of the Historical Dictionary of Modern Greek of the Academy, where he worked for about 20 years. He studied the dialects of the Dodecanese and published excellent works, such as the dialect of Patmos (1956), the dialect of Astypalaia (1958), and the phonetics of the dialects of the island of Kos, a doctoral dissertation unanimously approved by the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Thessaloniki (1962). His zeal was also great for the folklore subjects of his birthplace, from which he produced valuable works: The Plowmen of Kos, Pastoral Life of Kos, Hippocrates in Unpublished Traditions of Kos, etc. From a historical perspective, his study The Asylia of the Asklepieion and the Penteteris of the Asklepieia is significant. It would be very difficult to enumerate all the noteworthy works of this venerable Elder, which were published in Greek and foreign scientific journals.
The work, however, to which he dedicated one-third of his long life is the Historical Dictionary of the Greek Dialects of Southern Italy. For 22 years, the tireless researcher collected linguistic material from the Greek-speaking villages of Southern Italy, and for 8 years (1984–1992) he worked intensively so that his five-volume work would be published by the Academy of Athens. It is rightly characterized as a monumental work, of great national importance, a landmark of the 20th century.
22. Evimeros Street
Evimeros of Messene was an ancient Greek philosopher and writer, known for his theory about the origin of the gods, which was called Euhemerism. Although he was born in Messene, some consider his place of origin to have been Tegea or Kos. His theory was associated with Kos due to his work Sacred Inscription, in which he describes a mythical island named Panchaea, where the gods were once humans and were deified after their death.
23. Nikanoros Street
According to Geodifis, Nikanoras was a Grammarian from Kos.
"For he says that it happens by chance and of its own accord that the place resembles the nostril of an ox, from which the spring is called Halcon was made" – Nikanoras, Grammarian of Kos. (Child of Rhea).
Vasilis Chatzivasileiou, in his History of Kos, mentions that the Grammarian from Kos, who dealt with commentaries on the works of Theocritus, noted:
“Phyxa demos of Kos, a place so called, near the Phyxa of Heracles which was carried out by the people of Kos.”
24. Theokritos Kostoglou Street
On the afternoon of February 27th, 1945, four German soldiers, pretending to be deserters, arrived in Kryoneri, where they happened to meet young Vasilis, the son of the shepherd Theokritos Kostoglou. They asked him if he knew of any way to supposedly escape from the island, and he carelessly replied:
"Let me ask the Greek officer and I will come back in half an hour to tell you."
As soon as Vasilis Kostoglou reported the incident to Second Lieutenant Tsitsilonis, the Greek officer realized the danger and ordered an alert. He immediately called Theokritos Kostoglou, to whom he handed various food supplies, clothes, and other military material, instructing him to hide them in a ravine. At the same time, he sent the shepherd Giannis Troumouchis with a note to the liaison agents Nikos Georgiadis and Michalis Kougioumtzis, informing them that they had been betrayed and setting a meeting with them at the “known spot,” meaning Aklafthti.
That same night, a German force of about 30 men stormed the area of Chavaros and arrested the shepherd Theokritos Kostoglou, his son Vasilis, and many others, accusing them of supplying the British. The detainees were taken to the Castle of Kos, where they were imprisoned. The Germans interrogated them in cells of the Castle. Theokritos Kostoglou in particular was locked in a separate cell filled with water and was tortured to reveal the names of his network’s collaborators. Succumbing to the horrific torture, Theokritos whispered only two names, completely vaguely: “Nikolas – Michalis.” The Germans immediately turned their attention to searching for a man named Nikolas Michalis, but to no avail.
At dawn (4 a.m.) on April 16th, the German garrison commander of Kos, Captain Keller, leading a detachment, gave the signal for the execution. Beneath the arches of the house located in the Square of the Historic Plane Tree of Hippocrates, the three Kos patriots breathed their last—the final victims of German brutality on the island. On the eve of their hanging, the Germans allowed Philimonas to visit them and give them Holy Communion. With deep grief, he buried their lifeless bodies at sunrise on the morning of April 16th.
25. Philetas Street
Philetas of Kos, or Philetas (circa 340 BC – circa 285 BC), was an ancient Greek poet from Kos during the Hellenistic period. He was the son of Telephus. He is mentioned as the teacher of Zenodotus of Ephesus, as well as of Aratus of Soli and other poets. In Kos, he also became the teacher of Ptolemy II Philadelphus, who was born on the island. It is believed that he later went to Alexandria around 297/6 BC, accompanying Ptolemy. Around 290 BC he returned to Kos. He had a significant influence on Alexandrian poetry.
And one street—so far—the only one dedicated to a woman
26. Annetta Laoumtzi Street
The Italian policy of Italianizing Greek education naturally provoked massive resistance from both teachers and students. Heroic teachers, men and women, risked their lives teaching the Greek language and history, either initially in the Italian schools or secretly in homes. The same regime continued when the Germans took over.
One of the two women teachers of the “Secret Schools” who stood out during the difficult years of the occupation was Annetta Kontogeorgiadou-Laoumtzi. After the Asia Minor Catastrophe, she found herself in Kos—a widow with her two children—and worked as a teacher until 1937.
After the closing of the Greek schools, during the years 1938–1944, defying all dangers, she passionately and faithfully taught the Greek language in her home. She was arrested and imprisoned by the Italians. After her release, despite her health being shaken, she continued her work. Her national and educational contribution was recognized by the state and by the Municipality of Kos with the placement of a marble plaque on the house that had functioned as a “Secret School.”

Δηλαδή, σύμφωνα με τη λογική, η Οδός Ιπποκράτους θα έπρεπε να είναι Hippocrates Street αν θέλουμε ο ξένος να καταλάβει ότι αναφερόμαστε στον πατέρα της Ιατρικής, όχι σε κάποιον άγνωστο "Ippokratous".
