"My poor children, following my fate, perhaps also the fate of my home, which has been pursued by some misfortune for a hundred years, were born far from my winter-friendly and sweet-summer homeland, Epirus, where every stone, every ruin, and every hollow has its song, its tradition, and its tale. This forced me to often tell them the tales that time has not erased from my memory, so they too could feel that indescribable sweetness that children who are fortunate enough to be born and raised in their village or town feel, listening to the sweet tales from the mouth of the house's grandmother. For the expatriate children of Epirus, I publish this series of my Tales, which I named Epirotic, because they are all drawn from the rocks, the ruins, and the hollows of my homeland."
