About Kyklos

Kyklos (meaning “circle”) was the name of the first staff magazine of the Bank of Greece. Its publication began in 1961 and ended in 1969, soon after the arrival of the Greek junta. Kyklos featured economic articles and articles of general interest, but also short stories, poems etc. by important people of the Greek letters, such as Elias Venezis, Kiki Dimoula, Nassos Detzortzis etc., who also served as employees of the Bank of Greece.

The Centre for Culture, Research and Documentation inaugurated a series of events in the memory of those people and published accompanying commemorative issues of Kyklos with reprints of their original collaborations. In this way, the totality of their work in Kyklos was compiled in a single issue.

About this issue

Nassos Detzortzis (1911-2003) was a respected man of the letters and the soul of Kyklos magazine, in which he was the editor-in-chief. A poet and a novelist himself, he also translated works by famous authors, such as Samuel Beckett and Marcel Proust. Detzortzis contributed to the reform of the Greek grammar, when the Minister of Education assigned the authoring of the pertinent schoolbook to him, in 1975. Apart from the articles he had originally written in Kyklos magazine, the commemorative issue also includes rare archival material from his personal archive, kindly provided by his step-daughter Antigone Vlavianou, who has also contributed his ergobiography.
