By following a colored line on an old map housed in the Onassis Library, we will explore the symbolism of ancient monuments, historic battles, and mythological heroes; all the while solving riddles and finding hidden messages placed there by the map-maker, Rigas Velestinlis.
This line will change direction many times: it has no pre-determined conclusion and it will end up where it will. The adventure is in the experience, in daring to change course. In this pictory, we will forge our own paths and illustrate the symbols that most capture our imagination.
