 parea... Parea means belonging to a group, friendship, kinship. Parea also means obligations - exchanging favours and services.  Aisiodoxia - optimism - maybe blind optimism? Trust in fate; things will work out. As in Zorba the Greek (1964) and Never on Sunday (Pote tin Kyriaki, 1960). Messon - which connects to parea - the power of personal influence. The good word, the well-connected uncle, the brother-in-law that can pull a few strings. It is the basis of nepotism, and from a Greek perspective, it is just good business sense. Exipno means being shrewd, wry, astute, perceptive - the ability to make a good deal and keep everyone happy at the same time. MUSIC OF GREECE Ancient Greek Musical Instruments.
