I am not religious. I have no prayers to recite. But in that cemetery of persons once-known, I performed a ceremony of farewell.”⁠ ⁠ In a poignant photo essay for the @nytimes, titled What Ancient Greek Tragedies Can Teach Us About Grief, Enri Canaj explores the themes and motifs of ancient Greek tragedies and how they reflect in the modern paradigm of refugees attempting to cross the Greece-Turkey border. ⁠ ⁠ The accompanying images take us on a journey from the historical theaters and museums of Athens to Alexandroupoli in the north, where nearby in a small village, unidentified victims of failed attempts to cross the border are buried according to Muslim rites.⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Read the full story at the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ PHOTOS (left to right):⁠ ⁠ (1) A group of Syrian refugees are hiding in the fields to avoid detection from Greece police patrol.
