The Triodion is open… as they say in Greece, and along with it comes joy, fun and lots of kefi in each town of Greece. The Carnival is considered to be a hyper national celebration, since it has become an attraction for more and more people despite their financial status or age over the years.
The celebrations of music, masquerade, dance and colors mark a unique three-week-long period in Greece that dates back to antiquity and the worship of the god Bacchus, or Dionysus, god of wine and celebration in the Eleusinian Mysteries.
Today, there are many different carnival parades going on all over Greece. Hundreds of groups take part in those parades, and anyone who wishes to participate can just join a group.

Another story from Greece

The Hare and the Tortoise

The Hare was once boasting of his speed before the other

animals. "I have never yet been beaten," said he, "when I put

forth my full speed. I challenge any one here to race with me."

The Tortoise said quietly, "I accept your challenge."

"That is a good joke," said the Hare; "I could dance round you

all the way."

"Keep your boasting till you've beaten," answered the

Tortoise. "Shall we race?"

So a course was fixed and a start was made. The Hare darted

almost out of sight at once, but soon stopped and, to show his

contempt for the Tortoise, lay down to have a nap. The Tortoise

plodded on and plodded on, and when the Hare awoke from his nap,

he saw the Tortoise just near the winning-post and could not run

up in time to save the race.

Then said the Tortoise:

"Plodding wins the race."

Ο ΛΑΓΟΣ ΚΑΙ Η ΧΕΛΩΝΑ

Μια φορά κι έναν καιρό μαζεύτηκαν όλα τα ζώα του δάσους και άκουγαν το λαγό που υπερηφανευόταν ότι είναι ο πιο γρήγορος. «Δεν έχω νικηθεί ποτέ. Προκαλώ οποιονδήποτε σε αγώνα δρόμου»

Τότε η σοφή χελώνα του είπε: «δέχομαι την πρόκληση» και ο λαγός γέλασε και την ειρωνεύτηκε.

Η χελώνα όμως τον συμβούλεψε να κρατήσει τον κομπασμό του για μετά τη νίκη του.

Ξεκινάει λοιπόν ο λαγός τρεχάτος και αφήνει πίσω του την καημένη τη χελώνα που περπατούσε σιγά-σιγά. Στον δρόμο, απολύτως σίγουρος ο λαγός για την νίκη του και για να δείξει την περιφρόνησή του για τη χελώνα, έπεσε και κοιμήθηκε για πολλές ώρες.

Η χελώνα όμως σιγά-σιγά τον προσπέρασε κι έφτασε πρώτη στο τέρμα λέγοντας:

«Η βραδύτητα κερδίζει»

Έτσι η χελώνα νίκησε το λαγό, γιατί δεν αρκεί να είσαι πολύ καλός σε κάτι για να πετύχεις, αλλά χρειάζεται κι εξυπνάδα, υπομονή κι όχι αλαζονεία.
