Elli Zahou Tachtsis was a rebellious woman, who only wanted to live free and be loved.

"The mother of this one". A disparaging, ironic, sarcastic title, but so familiar, so known. Βeing said as an insinuation and always in a low voice. Almost in a whisper. One of those whispers that are like stabs to the heart. But sometimes they can be lethal. "Her son", Kostas Tachtsis, was murdered. As everyone is "murdered" in this world, that threatens to expose its hypocrisy.

"His mother." The least enlightened person – character in the mostly autobiographical authorial world of Kostas Tachtsis, on whom he relied to write his most important work, “The Third Wreath”, which apart from being a record, is also an unmasking of the holy Greek family. But if the "Third Wreath" is identified with Greece itself, the story of his mother is identified with all the hidden secrets. That we keep well locked in dusty trunks, stowed away in the basements of our souls.
