A descent into the underworld, that is what Katábasis means. A feeling the walk in Athens had when walking from the city’s highest point at Lycabettus. Through Kolonaki where the elite live. Dexameni, Omonia the beating heart of the centre. Stopping at Polytechnio where I felt the history of the 1973 protests and into Exarcheia where protest is in every person’s blood. An abandoned Psyrri that sighed under the summer heat and finally into Kerameikos, the ancient city of the dead.
