Why history?

“Those who do study history are doomed to stand by helplessly while everyone else repeats it” says Tom Toro, the cartoonist of The New Yorker, paraphrasing George Santayana. And it seems that in this blog, we are doomed indeed my fellow historiophile.

Who’s behind this?

Just a middle aged history buff and BA in History and Archaeology student in the University of Athens, that plans to record his belated journey in the academia world. My intention is to post about history related stuff, inspired by my classes and everyday life. Furthermore, guests posts will be hosted from people I highly admire and appreciate and also historywise reposts of articles I find interesting.

Are we really doomed though?
