Greek communities across Australia are today mourning the loss of the legendary Greek composer, Mikis Theodorakis, who passed away on Thursday at the age of 96.
During his sixty-year career, Theodorakis wrote over 1,000 songs including music for dozens of plays and tragedies, operas and the cinema. He is best-known for scoring the film, ‘Zorba the Greek,’ and for his defiance during military rule.
Here are a number of tributes from the Greek community of Victoria and South Australia, as well as His Eminence Archbishop Makarios of Australia.
Victoria:
Mikis Theodorakis.
The Greek Community of Melbourne has issued the following statement after the passing of Theodorakis:
“VALE MIKIS THEODORAKIS
The whole of the Greek speaking and philhellene world is reeling from the death of the great composer Mikis Theodorakis who leaves behind him not only an enormous cultural legacy with his musical works, but also from his public life.
Theodorakis created masterpieces that spoke of individual and social struggle of the times in which he lived. He freely imparted his political views and created music that spoke to the masses in his homeland of Greece and also to people around the world.”
The Greek Orthodox Community of NSW have issued the following statement to mark the passing of Theodorakis:
“The Greek Orthodox Community of New South Wales is saddened by the passing of Mikis Theodorakis and wishes to express to his family its deep and sincere condolences.
One of the greatest Greeks of the post-war period, was world-famous Mikis Theodorakis. We will always remember Mikis Theodorakis as one of the most active fighters, the leader, the composer, the man who made Greece famous around the world. His name is synonymous with “Zorba” and all of us have danced the sirtaki.”

The Greek Orthodox Community of South Australia has also issued a tribute to Theodorakis, saying they are “deeply saddened” by his passing.
“Mikis of Resistance and Struggle, Mikis of creation and the great arts, is no longer with us. He passed away on Thursday 2 September at the age of 96.
The Greek Orthodox Community of South Australia is deeply saddened and mourns the passing of Mikis Theodorakis, Greece’s most acclaimed composer whose name is directly associated with struggle, exile and music works that have been adored by millions around the world. Mikis’ love for the arts and his musical genius were inspired during the difficult years of exile where he composed music, representative of a whole era. An era during which Mikis Theodorakis not only was an active participant, he was the protagonist, leading a whole generation who shared the same ideals.”
In a message, His Eminence Archbishop Makarios of Australia says the work of Theodorakis will continue to be embraced by the Greek Australian community.
“With his melodies he touched the souls of all Greeks and all people around the world. With his struggles for democratic and patriotic ideals, he inspired and became a timeless model for young people of many generations.
With courage and selflessness, he defended to the end his “great utopia of life,” the unity of the Greek Nation. And with deep devotion to the Orthodox faith, a “leading figure and function of our national conscience,” he defended the rights of our Ecumenical Patriarchate and Patriarch Bartholomew, who are “the symbols of Greek Orthodoxy.”
When news first emerged of the passing of legendary Greek composer, Mikis Theodorakis, The Greek Herald instantly thought to reach out to maestro, Themos Mexis, to play a small tribute concert in his honour.
Mr Mexis replied with a resounding yes and it’s no surprise as the Greek, who is also the Musical Director of the National Metropolitan Choir of Australia, has a strong connection to Theodorakis.
Here is a tribute to Theodorakis written by Mr Mexis right after his impromptu concert:
“Last night, I was very much humbled when The Greek Herald called me to ask if I could give a musical tribute to the great man. Impromptu as it was, I immediately replied with a resounding YES. It was an honour to have done so. Last night I wanted to pay my respects through his music. Here now, today, I want to share with you my own personal tribute to the great man, the musician, and what he has meant to me.
Mikis Theodorakis has passed and this has saddened us greatly but his legacy, both in his music and as a freedom fighter, lives on. Theodorakis has played a huge part in my own musical journey, from a very young age.
I was just 16 years old when I went to see the film, ZORBA, in a cinema in George St. When those first few chords were struck by the bouzoukia, I jumped out of my seat, yelling, whistling and applauding madly. That got the rest of the audience engaged, too. That was it: I was hooked; I became a passionate follower and later exponent of Theodorakis’ music, and of Greek music generally.
I lived in Greece, as a student and then as a professional, during the junta period; I was in the throng, as a student, when the tanks attacked and violated the Polytechnic, November 1973; I joined many other musicians in boites, playing his music, as our stand against the junta for imprisoning Theodorakis and banning his music.

Yes, Theodorakis has certainly been very much a part of our Greek psyche and identity, a great influence on my music and that of many other musicians. His music has and will continue to strike a chord with us all.
Today we grieve, but his songs will lift our spirits and remember the great man. ETERNAL BE HIS MEMORY.
The above photo is from a concert we gave in 1995, in the UN Year of Tolerance, in honour of Mikis Theodorakis, organised by the then-Federal Government and Minister Nick Bolkus, at the Refectory, University of Sydney. The program was made entirely up of Mikis Theodorakis compositions, arranged and conducted by myself, performed by the Mexis Orchestra and Choir, and solo vocalists Mary Yiakoulis and Sandy Constantopedos.
The Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs, Alex Hawke MP, has issued a message to the Greek Australian community to mark the passing of legendary Greek composer, Mikis Theodorakis.
Full message below:
Today I extend my condolences to the Greek-Australian community and the Greek community around the world on the passing of composer Mikis Theodorakis.
As Greece’s most illustrious music composer, Mr Theodorakis wrote classical and popular pieces with wonderful melodies, contagious dance rhythms and the ever‐present unique sound of the Greek bouzouki lute.
Mr Theodorakis leaves behind a rich legacy of wonderful art, service and a resounding passion for justice and freedom. Having produced a staggering number of musical works, encompassing both symphonic music and Greek folk music, from which he drew most of his inspiration, has made his sound instantly recognisable. He gained worldwide recognition with iconic music scores he composed for films including Zorba the Greek (1964) and Serpico (1973).
Mr Theodorakis lived a full life transforming his experiences into music, becoming part of the musical history of the Greek nation and the world himself.
Mr Theodorakis and his music transcends and his impact and influence on the Greek-Australian community cannot be measured.
As we celebrate Father’s Day, it’s worth taking a moment to reflect on a few dads from within the history books who truly impersonate the word.
These mythological beings may not be the greatest of role models for dad’s around the world today, yet they still played a part in the story of their children and they had a profound impact on their lives, either in a positive or negative way.
While the members of this list and their actions are all fictional, that makes them no less significant in our efforts to improve upon ourselves. After all, they say history is one of mankind’s greatest teachers.
Listed below are some of the most well-known fathers to emerge from Greek mythology:
Zeus:
Kicking off our list is the all-powerful king of the dodekatheon (twelve gods) that were said to rule over ancient Greece. Zeus was known as the god of lightning and a polyamorous being. As such, he was father to many children, most notable among which were his fellow gods Ares, Efestus, Athena, Hermes and Aphrodite, and the half-mortal Hercules.

Living up to such a heavy legacy would be difficult for anyone, be they human or divine creature, and Zeus certainly didn’t make things any easier. Best described as a god who was quick to bring down judgement upon his lesser beings, be they mortals or even his own children, Zeus was known for his cruel and unforgiving character.
Chronos:
Father of many would-be gods, such as Poseidon, Hades and Zeus, as well as king of the Titans who ruled over all creation until the arrival of the twelve gods, Chronos received a prophecy that one day he would be murdered by one of his children.
After hearing that troubling bit of information, he promptly swallowed all his offspring, with the exception of Zeus, who was kept hidden away by his mother Rhea. Zeus eventually challenged his father, forcing him to spit up all his brothers and sisters before defeating him with the help of the cyclops and condemning him to a life of imprisonment at Tartarus.
Daedalus:
The character from the story of the man who flew too close to the sun, Daedalus was father to Icarus, a young man who’s aspirations lead to his own downfall. After being trapped on the island of Crete by king Minos, Daedalus used wax from a candle, the feathers from a bird’s wings and some thread in order to create wings for himself and his son.
A relief of Daedalus and his son.
Despite warning Icarus not to fly too high, as the sun would melt the wax, causing the wings to break, the young man let his enthusiasm get the better of him, drowning in the Aegean Sea, near the island that is today known as Icaria.
Helios:
Yet another character with strong ties to the sun, Helios was father to Phaedon and the one tasked with delivering the light from one corner of the earth to the other every single day on his chariot.
One day, the young Phaedon demanded to drive the chariot himself as proof of his lineage, something that Helios strongly advised against but as a god could not turn down. As soon as the young boy attempted to steer the fiery horses, they realised how inexperienced he was and began to run amok, causing untold devastation to the entire world.
Helios was then struck down by Zeus to avoid any further calamities, with his body falling into the Eridanus river.

Priam:
Former king of Troy and one of the key players in Homer’s “Iliad,” Priam watched his nation fall and was enslaved at a very young age. Yet these events played an important role in the development of his character, as he would go on to be a benevolent king and raise a great nation.
He was eventually succeeded by his son Hector, whom he adored. His pain at the loss of his son to the hands of an enraged Achilles is one of the most significant moments in the entire story, as he drops his usually noble and quiet demeanor to storm into the Greek camp and demand the remains of Hector back from the general of the Greek forces.
Worried about whether the vaccines provide protection against the Delta variant or they interfere with our genome sequence? Are you unsure about the long term effects of the vaccines?
General Practictioner (GP) Dr Dimitrios (Jim) Kollios, from M3 Health In Hobsons Bay answers your questions.
-Do the vaccines provide protection against the Delta variant?
It has become the major issue as it is more contagious than previous variants and might cause more severe illness. It is also affecting our children more than the original strain.
Fortunately, the vaccines are still very effective against the Delta strain. Both the AZ and Pfizer vaccines give close to 90% protection against the virus once you have been fully vaccinated.
Despite their protection dropping away over time they are still very effective. Time will tell if we will need further booster over time. The data is not in at present.
If you get infected after you’re vaccinated, it is likely to be mild rather than severe disease. Therefore, vaccination is absolutely worth it – both to protect yourself and to reduce transmission to our family and community.
-Why get vaccinated and not let our immune system fight the disease?
Covid infection is a serious disease and not just like the flu. We would never entertain to let people get polio, small pox or measles etc but we vaccinate our children to prevent serious life-threatening illness with possible long-term detriment.
COVID-19 can cause severe disease and death not only in older people and those with existing health conditions but also in younger people as we have seen with the recent outbreak.
I have treated younger people that have had ongoing severe respiratory illness a year after Covid infection. We need to protect ourselves irrespective of our age and health status as corona virus can have severe impact on our health.
Secondly, by getting vaccinated we protect others around us that are more vulnerable.
Thirdly we protect our health system – our hospitals and medical systems would be completely overwhelmed if we let the pandemic run without majority of us being vaccinated. If our hospitals are overrun that would result in all of us being at risk even from other illnesses which we take for granted will be managed in our hospitals.
There are further reasons for getting vaccinated which are covered in my opinion piece at the end.
-What is the point of vaccination if you can still catch or spread COVID-19?
The point of vaccination is to limit this impact. Both the Pfizer-BioNTech (Pfizer) and Oxford-AstraZeneca (AstraZeneca) vaccines have been shown to reduce a person’s risk of contracting the virus and your risk of dying or needing to be hospitalised from COVID-19.
People who are vaccinated have been shown to be less likely to spread the virus too. So, the more people get vaccinated, the more our entire population will be protected. Fully vaccinated people with Delta variant breakthrough infections can spread the virus to others.
However, vaccinated people appear to be infectious for a shorter period:
It is because even vaccinated people can get the virus and spread the virus that we must still practice social distancing, wearing of masks in crowded indoor settings, hand hygiene, and staying at home when we are unwell.
– The vaccines have not been tested long enough. How do we know there won’t be long-term effects?
There is a perception that these vaccines have been rushed at the expense of possible safety. In reality the world concentrated their efforts, with unprecedented levels of funding provided and research to get the vaccines. Finding a solution to the pandemic, which became a world-wide crisis became paramount all around the world.
Researchers all over the world were concentrating on finding a vaccine with new technologies helping them understand the coronavirus earlier and hence working on vaccine design earlier.
In reality it is a triumph of human endeavour working together to find a solution to a common problem for humanity rather than a rushed process. We should celebrate that spirit not fear it.
In Australia the vaccines went through the normal approval mechanisms by the TGA – a stamp that they are safe and effective. They were not rushed through as an emergency
Vaccines have been the cornerstone of illness prevention and hence we have great knowledge in manufacturing safe vaccines. The Covid vaccines are built on this knowledge.
– Do the vaccines interfere with our genome sequence?
The vaccines do not affect our DNA or our genome sequence to fear harmful future effects.
The Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 and Moderna vaccines use a fragment of messenger RNA (mRNA) to instruct your body to make an immune response against COVID-19.
They do not alter our DNA.
DNA is stored in the protected centre of our cells – the nucleus. The mRNA is broken down quickly by the body. It never enters the nucleus, and cannot affect or combine with our DNA in any way to change our genetic code.
Instead, COVID-19 mRNA vaccines teach the cell how to make a protein that triggers an immune response specific to COVID-19. The vaccines work with the body’s natural defences to develop immunity to disease.
-Do the vaccines affect fertility?
It is Covid 19 infection that should be the fear and which can cause problems in all aspects of fertility and sexual function yet rumours and myths about COVID-19 vaccine have spread widely across social media platforms. People blaming erectile dysfunction and fertility issues on the vaccines.
Yet studies so far have not linked the vaccines with problems related to pregnancy, menstrual cycles, erectile performance or sperm quality.
The monitoring of hundreds of millions of vaccinations support the safety of the shots.
The conclusion of the evidence suggests – Vaccination is not associated with adverse effects in pregnancy. COVID-19 is the real threat.
– Is it safe to vaccinate my kid?
The Pfizer (Comirnaty) vaccine has been approved for children aged 12 years and over with children at risk to be prioritised.
Opinion by Dr Dimitrios Kollios
Humanity in time of adversity has come together to support, protect and look out for each other against a common enemy. It is my prayer that, that great quality comes out in our common fight against this virus. It should unite and not divide us. We must be driven by the common good rather than selfish individual motives.
We will only get through the crisis if we have that unity and sense of goodwill to others.
This virus is not a risk to me as an Individual, or to my family, or to my extended community, not even to us as a nation. The risk is to the whole world and we must adopt that world view.
We need to help all the nations get vaccinated, and then we may all experience some normality in all our lives.
The more a virus is able to replicate and spread in a population, the greater the likelihood of mutations of consequence. Where the environment permits highly transmissible variants, we also expect disease severity to go up.
But if we halt transmission, we can suppress the spread of variants. This is why vaccinations are an essential part of a pandemic response. They drive transmission down, and drive the virus evolution towards less severe disease outcomes.
Getting vaccinated is beneficial on a personal basis but essential for all of us.
We owe it to ourselves and the world to assist less wealthy countries get their vaccinations up as well as ours.

One of the most frustrating things about watching a live sporting event – or any live event for that matter – has to be that moment when you get cravings so bad that you decide to head for the kiosk or the nearest canteen, only to realize that while you’ve been waiting in line to get your favorite snack, you’ve just missed an important moment.

That’s exactly the problem that former South Melbourne e-sports representative Peter Saisanas is aiming to solve. With the development of a new app, titled “Get Duck”, he hopes to put an end to long queues and that way spectators will no longer miss out on their favorite events.
“The process is, you rock up to a sporting ground, there’ll be signage around the venue, whether it’s posters or a-frames, yard signs, anything will suffice. Fan scans a QR code, a menu pops up which they can scroll through, choose whatever they want, place their order and pay on-the-spot. Then they get notified via SMS when the order is ready to be picked up, so they can just go from where they are, get the food and then return to their seat without missing any of the action,” he explains to The Greek Herald.
When asked about the name of the app, the young creator tells us that it has nothing to do with the adorable animal: “It’s going to be called ‘duck’, as in to duck the queue or to duck the line or to duck the bill even if you’re going to pay on your phone so it’s to that ilk. I’m not sure of the correct phrasing but it’s under that terminology. So that’s where the name comes from specifically and I really like it personally because it’s a short, snappy word that a lot of people can remember.
“We’ve been through all the beta testing; the process has been surprisingly long. I’m doing this with a good friend of mine, Rowan McNamee, son of former Wimbledon champion Paul McNamee. He plays for South Melbourne and we’ve been best mates for ages.”
“The idea came about when at South Melbourne Hellas games, I’m not sure if you’ve been but the canteen is actually away from the field so you can’t watch the games. So many times, I’d be in there and I’d hear a roar and be like ‘Oh, bloody hell!’, you know? This problem of missing action to get food has been ongoing. Especially the food at all these Greek clubs, with the souvlakia and all that. I mean you want to go there and watch the game, but you also want to enjoy the food.”
Peter’s journey as an e-sports player has come to an end after seven years. Source: Supplied
Moving on from the upcoming app, the former E-League star tells us about his decision to put an end to his career and how it all began:
“My gaming journey was seven years deep at the start of this year. What got me into gaming, when I was five or six-years-old, was when my mother had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Back then, I didn’t really know what that meant. I remember going to the hospital and just sitting in the waiting room where they had a console. I would play the Super Nintendo and ‘Earthworm Jim’ and that would be the greatest distraction in the world. Anyway, fast-forward all these years later, my mum luckily survived and she’s still with us today, which is amazing but since then, gaming has been my release.
“Coming to the end of last year, I was able to raise about $2,500 for Kids with Cancer in Australia and I felt like I had completed a purpose that I had set out to do. So, I started my gaming journey in a hospital due to someone I knew being sick with cancer and being able to end my career raising money for young families and giving them $2,500, for me, I just felt as if I had completed something and it had come full circle. I felt like I finished on a happy note.”
When asked about the greatest moments of his career, the former Australian FIFA representative points out his run in the 2013 Doha World Cup qualifiers and getting to play for his childhood club, South Melbourne. He also pointed out that getting the chance to work with Peter Filopoulos and Harley Mitaros at Perth was a great opportunity for him.
US tech unicorn, Cameo, is ramping up investment in Australia, hiring a former Airbnb executive to spearhead its local expansion as it looks to sign up local celebrities and stave off new upstart rivals.
Cameo has more than 40,000 celebrities on its platform and it connects them with fans via video messages, live video and direct messages.
1,000 Australian celebrities including tennis star, Nick Kyrgios, Olympic swimmer, Kyle Chalmers, and footy legend, Billy Brownless, are already on the platform and Australia ranks as Cameo’s third-largest international market, growing at a rate of 500 percent year-on-year in 2020.
But now, according to The Australian, Cameo, which has a local office in Sydney, is looking to significantly expand its current roster of Australian celebrities.
CEO of Cameo, Steven Galanis.
The CEO of Cameo, Steven Galanis, told The Australian that the platform’s local operations in Australia began as just one person, but is now a fully-fledged team including former Airbnb country manager, Sam McDonagh, who will serve as Cameo’s general manager for APAC.
“We’re extremely excited to be involved with building and growing Cameo in Australia. We want to fuel the fan experience here, develop new products and features and bring our Aussie talent onto the platform,” Mr McDonagh said.
Cameo launched in 2016 with the idea that the selfie is the new autograph. The company is now a tech ‘unicorn,’ and is valued at just over $US1 billion having raised funds from PayPal, SoftBank Vision Fund 2, skateboard legend Tony Hawk and Amazon’s Alexa Fund.
A number of celebrities are on the platform.
New rivals are launching in Australia, including Swysh and Memmo.me, but Mr Galanis tells The Australian that according to his statistics, Cameo produces more videos every week than any of its rivals have ever done combined.
“At the end of the day, only we can offer a true global footprint. Even when local copycats come along, Greek musicians for example want to sell Cameos to people in Greece, as well as Melbourne, and immigrants in Chicago, and the diaspora all over the place is something that we uniquely offer,” Mr Galanis told the newspaper.
“If Cameo is successful, at scale, we will build technology that enables every single talent to have a personal relationship with each and every one of their fans. I think of the 100 biggest brands on earth, many of them will be people. And talent will be able to monetise that.”
A leading researcher in childhood cancer is among other Greek Australians nominated for the 2021 Australian Museum Eureka Prize.
Professor Maria Kavallaris is the director of a nano-medicine research hub at the University of New South Wales and has made significant advancements in the research of childhood cancer.
“To be able to make a difference to the lives of children with cancer and their families by developing better treatments and improving survival rates is very humbling,” she says in a UNSW article.
“Even if you can save one child’s life, that’s an incredible feat.”
She’s targeted the resistance of tumors to chemotherapy and developed a means to reverse clinical drug resistance.
She does this through the study of extremely small things known as ‘nanotechnology’, finding ways to package and deliver chemotherapy drugs in nanostructures that specifically target tumor cells.
This technology makes use of effects that happen on a nanoscale to improve drug efficacy and safety for growing children.
This year’s “Oscars of science” also celebrate the work of journalist Anthea Batsakis for her collaboration on an article that examines the impact of the Black Summer bushfire’s damage on fauna and flora.
The project tells of wildlife rescues, conservation efforts, and wild places returning to life and was published in July 2020.
Dr. Melina Georgousakis was also nominated for establishing the Franklin Women mentoring program.
Franklin Women is a for-profit enterprise and community which supports the careers of women in the health and medical research industry.
Dr. Georgousakis is nominated for the University of Technology Outstanding Mentor of Young Researchers prize.
