The Hadrian Aqueduct of Athens | An marvel of ancient Roman engineering springs back to life

Hadrian’s Aqueduct in Athens is the only Roman aqueduct of this type and size that has been constructed in Europe and that still carries water. This monumental technical construction of the ancient world does not only have great cultural value, but it can also be utilized to reduce the city’s environmental footprint.

The Greek government is supporting a multi-dimensional plan to put this ancient aqueduct back into use, in order both to cover current needs for irrigation water, and to develop new places of cultural and environmental interest.

📚📚On the occasion of the publication of his new novel "Jacarandas" (Εκδόσεις Εστία, 2024), award-winning writer Foivos Oikonomidis spoke to Reading Greece about the book, the way his writings describe this liminal era, as well as the way literature converses with its surrounding reality.

I think there is no world other than the one in our heads, and that we have a really tough time communicating our worlds to each other. So, literature is a great way to empathize. That is the way, I think, through which it can be revolutionary. When we talk of radically different realities, dystopias or utopias and what not, what we want to know is how it feels to live in such a reality. As long as we emphasize on the human experience, literature can describe anything".
