The shorter poems gathered in this volume present what Ritsos calls “simple things” that turn out not to be simple at all. Here we find a world of subtle nuances, in which everyday events hide much that is threatening, oppressive, and spiritually vacuous — but the poems also provide lyrical and idyllic interludes, along with cunning re-creations of Greek mythology and history.

The 1960 setting, by Mikis Theodorakis, of Ritsos's epic poem Epitaphios was said to have helped inspire a cultural revolution in Greece. Ritsos wrote the poem after seeing a newspaper photograph of a woman mourning for her son, a striking tobacco-worker murdered by the police. Shortly after it was published, the Metaxas dictatorship burned copies of the poem at the foot of the Acropolis in Athens in 1936. It was later set to music by Theodorakis, and recorded by Nana Mouschouri. In long poems like his celebrated Romiosini (1947), Moonlight Sonata (1956) and most of his later volumes, Ritsos writes with compassion and hope, celebrating the life, toil, and dignity of the common man in an unadorned and direct language. The poem is a good example of Ritsos' use of the tradition of the irrational in a setting that is rather disquieting, not only because of the feeling of suffocation and deadlock but also because of the apparently meaningless behaviour of the residents. 28 Whereas in 'Μετά την τελετή' we are presented with the sublimation of a young man on the pediment of the temple, in this poem When the poem was republished in 1958, Ritsos sent a copy to Mikis Theodorakis, who was studying on a scholarship in Paris at the time.

This is the aim of his poetry. To forge a bridge between people, so that we can share our disparate visions, and finally meet. At the close of the poem, Ritsos is confined to a state of loneliness and separation from others. In contrast, in Ritsos, quotations from ancient texts are rather thin on the ground (see, for example, the poems ‘Themistocles’ and ‘The Disjunctive Conjunction “Or”’).

At their best, Ritsos' poems, "in their directness and with their sense of anguish, are moving, and testify to the courage of at least one human soul in conditions which few of us have faced or would have triumphed over had we faced them," as Philip Sherrard noted in the Washington Post Book World.
