Nani, a village in the island of Rhodes in the Dodecanes
Original Title: The Village of Dwarfs! (Nationwide exclusivity)
September 2007. I traveled to Rhodes to photograph the marvels of castles and collect no historical evidence of the libraries. During the year few are those places in our country that Vasta on their shoulders such a heavy and serious western cavalier history as the island of Rhodes. Though in many Greek places, the crusader passed and not touched in Rhodes the ball with just a handful of iron-clad warriors of the legendary Knights of St. John.
So, as it was in every place where went stafroforikos army, and so on Rhodes Middle Ages with xepastrema time began are born a ton bizarre stories and legends, certainly more famous one who tells us the duel courageous Knight Dieudonne de Gozon with the dragon. Apart from the above legend but few are those who had the good fortune to stay in a way to our days. Of all those whose number should be counted on the fingers, I think that one is the greatest of all and this because it is very likely to have a close relationship with reality.
Before you talk about but this strange folk tale, I would like to clarify that this is not met on either an important historical element in the panoply of old books psachoulepsa during my stay on the island. Therefore, the year will tell you, I feel obliged to tell you that little relationship should have a recorded history.
I left behind my Paliopoli Rhodes entering the first morning bus that had to final destination rich with old stones of Greek antiquity, Ancient Kamiro. Around six kilometers I had figured that it was far from my destination here. A few minutes went by and I was already stuck inside resinated pine trees and vineyards. I pulled away a wide path, which I had faith that would lead me after a few hours nearby in latency forgotten mountain village of 'Dwarf', for which preserved the tradition that the houses which it is composed is strange and puny, made Mian another time by the hands of an unknown race very small in stature.
Passing quite a few acres of a beautiful green beautiful land finally arrived at Nanochori, who had deserted his outstretched petrospita in one of the vertical potholes that kamane between the hills nearby. Meet you for the first households with reservations about what breed would be the one who gave them life before you leave. While wandering, we find that everyone's roofs were low (I suppose that reached equal to the forehead) but broken.
I sat under an olive tree gave me the shade up taking in a paper no skitsaki the village and at the same time to remember those who had heard the bygone days of the mouths of Rhodians him here the place. Most told me last night an intelligent and widely read woman president famous for its masterly chivalric festival "Medieval Rose". What we said then, is that in those years the island of Rhodes lived under the Knights, he made her appearance mysteriously kontopithamon a group of people who formed even though a small settlement notina the capital with the name "Dwarves". Obviously I thought, if the legend contains nuggets of truth, that the settlement should be baptized so themselves Rhodians, because the tiny stature of newly arrived residents.
What is but what could bring the unknown to us that naniki race here in this circumstance the place? Those moments created quite a few scenarios my imagination for this question. But I have to mention that the most beautiful and most "magical" scenario I had in mind was not capturing my own but Anna's Achiola (President of the Medieval Rose) which I had narrated a meeting our last day started like this:
"It is very likely that dwarfs not got no accident on the island. The age of onset shows that match the time of the advent of alchemists for whom we well know that those years were returning western courtyards of palaces, to show their skills. Perhaps then, the dwarves have followed these alchemists (many times each alchemist in his travels, accompanied and a dwarf) who arrived in Rhodes to impress the Grand Master of the Order and to collect the famous mandrake of Rhodes. "
(Note: The reference here is clearly to real dwarf-short people, and not in dwarf traditions.)
In a travel journal I kept my hands and throw a look at those moments of silence, he co-authored the same woman the following:
"In Rhodes, in the mid 15th century, there was a large turnout Alchemists. Speculated that the reason for the turnout was the quest Mandragoras, a plant with anthropomorphic toxic root, widely used in the pharmaceutical era. Mandragoras but Rhodes is the only species in the world, who makes move flowers and its fruit resembles a small golden-red apple. That's why it was called "Apple of Satan."
With Alchemists worked and the Order of the Knights of St. John, who was influenced by their philosophy, as evidenced by the various alchemical and occult symbols in their graves. For this reason also hosted one of the greatest alchemists, the Englishman George Ripley, but they let him go soon because the experiments disturbed the abbot's palace and other clergy. The prolific alchemist Isaac Holland but lived his last years and died in Rhodes in 1490. Important works: "Verbum Dimissum" and "The Book of Chemistry". »
The story seems to hide 'crazy juggling "I thought, as I was finishing skitsaki me and smiled.
All year were brought to my mind something old narratives of the West, who vividly describe a miniature race humanoid creatures, named «homunculus» (Note: The meaning of the word in Latin is "tiny man"), which was created by hands of alchemists. Indeed, one of those alchemists, the famous Paracelsus, claimed with great daring that he himself had managed to create such a creature, kamontas a paradoxical prescription from animal tracks, who mixed it with compost horse leaving to "tie" for forty days until they have life. But then, they spent Other stories from my mind, stories about creatures nanika for the infernal «dwarves», where legend wants them to dig burrows in the earth collecting gold and gems. But for the others kontokorma nanika creatures, the «gnomes», which according to tradition the story hovers in the woods, lonely and anarchists in Greece and our people called them "genomic" or "DUWL."
I left behind those fantastic stories and got up. The houses I saw around me I did not in the eye nor nanika and normal. Were all low ceiling with low wooden Portoulas, stone. Some dafta, seemed very old and a couple on top of a hill must have been later. After soulatsarisa all old and took pictures I took a walk uphill, which I thought would me was making a pond, whose name was "The lake Nani." To my luck I found soon. For this mighty little pond meeting information, but had all the elements that they issue to fill in your imagination with magical performances, as if you have found a lost neraidotopo. Then I turned back and made a stop for some small church in the village, sitting lonely on the hill where he climbed the trail. "Neither a cemetery," I whispered in displaced whole village. Whatever breed and was the one who had the fate to live in the ruins of year, we should have create some space to honor the older ones.
With those thoughts I left the church and moving slowly on the way back ...
