:11:02
I'm very happy to meet you both,
and at the right moment.
:11:05
- My name is Homer Thrace.
- Homer?
:11:08
- My father loved everything Greek.
- A Grecophile.
:11:12
- How well you speak English!
- Eight years in Brooklyn.
:11:15
- Brooklyn? You're kidding.
- The Navy Yard.
:11:17
Now I work in the yard here, in Piraeus.
:11:20
- Beer.
- Two beers.
:11:21
I would like three bires.
:11:26
- You are rich?
- No, I'm very poor.
:11:28
Hey, you are a writer?
:11:31
- I was just making some notes.
- What you are?
:11:35
Well, I'm an amateur philosopher.
:11:39
You stay long in Greece?
:11:41
Maybe. I'm looking for something in Greece.
:11:45
What?
:11:46
- You won't laugh?
- Why? You look for something funny?
:11:51
I came to Greece...
:11:53
to find the truth.
:11:57
Our world is unhappy.
Why? Where did it begin to go wrong?
:12:01
Might not the traces be here?
:12:04
No society ever reached the heights
that were attained by ancient Greece.
:12:08
It was the cradle of culture.
It was a happy country.
:12:12
What happened? What made it fall?
:12:15
Historians don't satisfy me. Wars, politics...
:12:19
Something's missing, something personal.
:12:22
I want to walk where Aristotle walked.
:12:26
Socrates... I can't explain it.
:12:29
I don't know.
I have a feeling I'll find something.
:12:32
In the camera you look more beautiful.
:12:36
Your nose is not so big.
:12:38
Thank you.
:12:40
It's certain that the old philosophers
often walked around this port.
:12:45
How thrilling!
:12:47
Why, that means that Aristotle
might have stood on this very spot!
:12:52
Yes.
:12:53
- Did you ever think of that, Illia?
- Every day.
:12:56
I don't think Illia
would have much sympathy for Aristotle.
