Vangelis And The Journey To Ithaca is a 2h10m journey from 2013 through the various musical landscapes created by Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou across his career. Whether you know him a little or a lot, you'll probably find something new to you here.

First thought: I didn’t know Vangelis went to Cornell!

I look forward to watching. Looks fascinating.

Vangelis is fine but MonkeyToes filleted out the Connery Cafavy Ithaka angle in 2020: it's only 4 minutes. Πάντα στον νου σου νάχεις την Ιθάκη. Το φθάσιμον εκεί είν’ ο προορισμός σου. Aλλά μη βιάζεις το ταξείδι διόλου. Καλλίτερα χρόνια πολλά να διαρκέσει· και γέρος πια ν’ αράξεις στο νησί, πλούσιος με όσα κέρδισες στον δρόμο, μη προσδοκώντας πλούτη να σε δώσει η Ιθάκη. fakkin' bri'nt!
