the mother (how i met your mother)
the relationship between eva and angelos is described by takis dimopoulos, a very close friend of angelos and person that understood his work, in his article titled ""the poet and eva"" dimopoulos, initially deals with their relationship as secretly prepared for long and almost predetermined by fate. angelos (who, at the time he met palmer was in his prime both spiritually and mentally, “a young bull”, a young dionysus and fabulous adonis” from the "warm bosom of mother earth") and eva, both urged to mate by the poet’s sister penelope, are considered as two symbols: "[...] we have [...] the man, whose bowels are burning with desire for the eternal female [...] and the woman who, like a crystal interacts with the "male speech" in many levels. [...]. "sikelianos, after their acquaintance, travels to egypt (where he writes his work “alafroiskiotos" (the light-shadowed) and, when he returned to lefkada, he gets into a relationship with her, which would soon lead to marriage. eva as the new "homeric penelope", due to the waiting for his return, changes her spiritual targeting and recognizes the priority that a loyal attitude and focus on the vision of the great poet has: she becomes the "thirsty receiver" of unrestrained "bacchic" erotic and mystic intoxication, sets aside every obstacle that gets in his way (material or otherwise), guides him and supports him in difficult times (death of penelope), in a word, she is trying to assure that he will remain undisturbed from anything will could stand in his course. he, in turn, tries to understand the greek tradition, he knows the "great mystics" of all cultures and times and is increasingly developing his "innate secretive mood" and the "first image of mother nature" in him. this spiritual quest ends with the birth of the delphic idea, the new concept for delphi by sikelianos. this idea will rush through him in a dionysian and lyrical way. he wants to change the present (a political act – in the broader meaning of the term) with “the love for the other person” as the means. eva plays a very important role in this quest and essentially manages to become a “true greek bacchant”, she deals with all the organizational, practical and material aspects of the festivals, allowing angelos to be devoted to his vision. her offer, however, is very important (she composes music for the chorus of the tragedies and sews the dresses for the dancers according to ancient greek standards). even with such fatigue and responsibility, things are going well and the festivals (both) are successful. however, the money needed for the conduct of the delphic festivals were many and there is need for new resources, so eva is obliged to return home. her efforts to find financial resources and partners were long and fruitless and eventually failed. angelos, influenced by her absence (which resulted in the cancellation of their wedding in 1934 and their separation), turned to another 'first image’" of the "mother", trying to divert somewhere else his torrential dionysian vision which is "affected" by the existential questions that have begun to torture him. this period of "existential" -almost- loneliness ends in 1938, when he met anna karamani, his future wife. eva had become successively daughter (the "intellectual exercise"), wife ("fulfilling the dionysian visions") and sister, and now had reached the highest stage of this unique development: she became the mother, who from afar tries to relieve her son of the final course to fulfill the "great longing", while she is alone and mourning. this is eva’s role now in relation to angelos, who asks her consent to his marriage with anna (she "gives her blessings"). ultimately, she turned back to her "spiritual home", greece, only when her dionysus had returned to his mother, so that she would stay forever in delphi.
