In anticipation of this @futureconsf panel, I thought I would put together a thread highlighting some Greek SFF. I& #39;m sure the thread will be incomplete, so feel free to add more people (or introduce yourselves!). https://twitter.com/futureconsf/status/1305884076222496769">https://twitter.com/futurecon...
If you are looking to sample Greek short SF in translation, you couldn& #39;t go wrong by starting with the Nova Hellas anthology by @LunaPressGlobal (and @Fu7ureFiction in Italian), forthcoming in 2021. https://www.lunapresspublishing.com/post/nova-hellas-greek-sf-in-translation">https://www.lunapresspublishing.com/post/nova...
I& #39;m not an expert in the history of Science Fiction in Greece, so I& #39;ll defer to some excellent write-ups by people who know better.
This article by @D_Nikolaidou about Speculative Fiction in Greece is a great place to start: http://press.futurefire.net/2018/02/speculative-fiction-in-greece.html?m=1">https://press.futurefire.net/2018/02/s...
