She has been the editor in chief and the creator of news- women\u2019s\u2019- and life-style magazines, her last disastrous venture being a \u201cTV guide for thinking people\u201d \u2013a contradiction in terms, at least in her country.<br \/>\nShe studied art, graphic design and photography at the Polytechnic of Central London. For five years she taught photography to graphic designers, while freelancing as a news and fashion photographer for Athenian magazines and newspapers. Editors liked her extended captions more than the pieces the journalists submitted for the events she took pictures for, so she was encouraged to do her own stories, gradually becoming a full time journalist and editor.<br \/>\n<strong><span class=\"caps\">WARNING<\/span>!<\/strong><br \/>\nNot being a native English speaker, Aglaia will often be caught butchering the language in her impulsiveness to get her texts up, before sending them to her kind American friends for corrections\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>Costas Moraitis<\/h1>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aglaiakremezi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/costas.jpg\" alt=\"costas\" width=\"174\" height=\"219\" \/>Eight summers ago, Costas, with his wife Aglaia and their two dogs, Popie and Melech, loaded their small <span class=\"caps\">SUV<\/span>and left their Athens flat with an armchair tied to the car\u2019s roof. They embarked on vacation to their newly constructed summer house on the island of Kea. They never returned to the city.<br \/>\nAfter he studied English in Athens and Vermont, he continued with Biblical Studies at Yale. He returned to Greece to pursue an academic career, and taught for several years. In 1997 he published his first book, a translation of the <cite>The Gospel According to Philip<\/cite> from Coptic to Modern Greek. While he started his second book, a translation of the New Testament with historical annotations, Kea came up. On the island, while working on his book and freelancing for travel magazines, he discovered that apart from papyri and ancient texts, there are shovels and axes, trees, bushes, and peace of mind. Digging and planting, constructing dry-stone walls and some of the family\u2019s furniture, he stretched and stretched this vacation as long as he could, until it stopped being a vacation and turned into a way of life. His wife consented and the dogs were delighted.<br \/>\nAfter Aglaia has cooked and served the meals, he usually puts the dishes in the dishwasher. Costas is not much of a cook, but he loves to <span class=\"caps\">BBQ<\/span> fish and pork chops, and makes the most fiery and delicious penne with home-grown chilies and whatever else he finds in the fridge \u2013smoky Kean sausage, capers, leftover shredded cabbage, wild greens, etc.<\/p>\n<h1>Seth Rosenbaum (editor)<\/h1>\n<p>Seth is a doctoral student in English literature at Harvard University.
