My name is Babis Dermitzakis. I was born in Ierapetra, Crete, Greece, in 1950. I graduated the English Literature Department and the Department of Philosophy of the University of Athens. I am a Doctor of Philosophy of the same University. I am currently working as an assistant at the Department of Education of the University of Athens, my permanent job being a high school teacher (Varvakion High School). I have published a lot of articles in various journals, mainly concerning Literature and Theater. I have also written a lot of literary criticism. Most of my books were published by Thimari Publications, Athens. The first one in 1981, with the title "Parapsychology, myth or reality?". Then followed "The necessity of myth" (1987), Environment, feeding and quality of life" (1988), "Ecology and Democracy" (1989), "The folk character of cretan literature" (1990, Doricos), "My village: from the self-sustenance to the market economy-a social anthropological approach" (1995) and a collection of short stories "The rain dance: ecological tales and stories" (KEPKA, 1998). Among the languages I speak are Russian and Chinese. The theater of the East especially interests me. I would welcome any article concerning that theater, or Asian theater in general, in my e-mail address: hdermi@matrix.kapatel.gr I like Cretan music very much, and I play the local instrument, lyra. (see a complete list of my publications in Greek, in public.htm).
