The first biography to tell the story of Eva Palmer Sikelianos (1874–1952), an American actor, director, composer, and weaver best known for reviving the Delphic Festivals.

On Eva’s husband, Greek poet Angelos Sikelianos, in particular the sections ‘Translating Angelos Sikelianos’s Act of Resistance‘ (pp. 201-208) and ‘Angelos’s Akritika Thrusts Eva into Politics‘ (pp. 208-218), both in Ch. 5 “Writing” (pp. 174-223). Also in the Chronology (especially pp. xxxvi-xlv), but also almost passim — cf. the entry ‘Sikelianos, Angelos’ (p. 336) in the book’s Index.
