35 - The Real Greek Hero

"a Greek by extraction" [GREE]     "The Greek Interpreter" gives us our first glimpse of Mycroft Holmes, through the meeting with him at the Diogenes Club. But it's the introduction of the peculiar Mr. Melas, the Greek interpreter, that sets things in motion. When you think about all of the activity in this case, couldn't we argue that Melas was really the hero of this story? Or was it Holmes, with his deductions and bravery? Or was it Paul Kratides, who endured torture in order to protect his sister?   We address the premise of the Greek hero in this episode of Trifles.    Please leave us a rating and review on the podcast player of your choice, and consider supporting our efforts through Patreon or PayPal.   Links The Greek Interpreter   Music credits Performers: Uncredited violinist, US Marine Chamber Orchestra  Publisher Info.: Washington, DC: United States Marine Band  Copyright: Creative Commons Attribution 3.0   --
