June's Recipe: Sarmades (Wrapped Meat Balls) with Yoghurt Sauce
An amazing recipe where the cool taste of yoghurt steals the show.
The tomato blends beautifully and gives this variation a unique taste.
Ingredients:
1 cabbage, large and soft
1 kg of minced beef or beef and lamb mixed
2 red Greek onions, thinly sliced
4-5 spring onions with the green parts finely chopped
2 grated tomatoes
1 1/2 tea cup of Carolina rice
1/2 bunch of parsley, finely chopped
1/2 a bunch of dill, finely chopped
1/4 tea cup of Greek extra virgin olive oil
juice of 1 lemon
salt and freshly ground pepper
FOR THE BAKING PAN
1 large onion
1 tomato
1 tea cup of Greek extra virgin olive oil
FOR THE YOGHURT SAUCE
500g Greek yoghurt
juice of 1 lemon
a pinch of salt
1/2 tea cup of liquid from the pan
Preparation:
Steam the cabbage for about 10 minutes and leave to cool off. Put the minced meat, onions,
spring onions, tomatoes, rice, herbs, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and the pepper in a bowl
and mix them with your hands very well. Take one cabbage leaf, remove the hard parts and place

the edges. Bake in a preheated oven to 200 degree C for approximately 50 minutes. remove the tin
foil and continue baking for another 10 minutes. Remove the tin foil and continue baking for another
10 minutes. Prepare the yoghurt sauce. Mix all the ingredients together and pour over the sarmades when served.
Focusing on the importance of Community cohesion,
the Greek Press called on Community leaders to take
responsibility
for the organization of an all-Community conference for the
establishment of cooperation among the Communities to
deal with the problems facing the new settlers. However,
reluctant Greek leaders, despite being conscious of the need
for reform and restructure of the Communities, failed to
respond. The severe demographic changes affecting Greek
Communities because of the sharp rise in migration figures -
mainly due to the removal of martial law in Greece (21
December 1949) and to the bilateral migration agreement of 1952
between Australia and Greece - found the leaders
completely unprepared. the massive inflow of Greek migrants made
the need for upgrading the services provided to them
imperative. In contrast to their compatriots of the pre-war era,
the new migrants were coming to Australia for
permanent settlement. Their inspiration and practice was to
graft the social and cultural life of Greece on to the
new environment. The perpetuation of the Greek language and
heritage was a prime concern, while loyalty to Orthodoxy
was undertaken with a missionary zeal.
A large number of unprotected girls and young men from Greece
immigrated in a period of high unemployment to a
community known for the adverse relations between its old and
new members. the ideological polarization was tense
amongst the settlers, as a consequence of the Greek Civil War
(1946-9) and caused serious upheavals. The tyranny of
distance, the insecurity and the difficulties in communication
with Greece created serious social problems, including
bigamy, abandonment of families, even suicides among young
migrants. After 1958, a number of unprotected women, in
Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney were subjected to exploitation,
frequently by their own kinsmen. certain compatriots
acting as employment agents also exploited some labourers. they
charged commission fees and bribes to secure the job
awaiting the individual, often in violation of the labour laws
of Australia. Gambling in various forms, particularly
betting on horse races, had been a problem for the Greek
Community as far back as the pre-war era and it continued to
flourish in the new era, despite campaigns by the organized
Greek Community to counter it.
In mid-1960 severe unemployment hit Melbourne, Newcastle, Adelaide
and other industrial centres of the continent. By
the end of 1961 thousands of newly arrived Greeks found themselves
in a desperate situation, destitute and
unemployed. Despite promises given, the inability of the officers of
the Department of Immigration to offer them work
led to intense feelings of disappointment and helplessness among the
new migrants. In the packed migrant camps at
Bonegilla, Canberra and Fisherman's Bend in Melbourne, hundreds of
Greek immigrants endured the uncertainty of a
nebulous future. Many were lucky to obtain seasonal work as
construction workers, railroad workers, porters and
unskilled workers in smelters, often suffering crippling injuries.
Some were compelled to work for a couple of weeks
in the market garden fields of their compatriots in Werribee, Gulham,
or Wanneroo; however, forcing them to the
fields was asking them to revert to a type of life they had already
rejected.
At Bonegilla, in a former military camp near the village about 400
kilometers north-east of Melbourne, the living
conditions did not reflect the immigration brochures or promises
given by recruiting Immigration Department officials
in Athens and Thessaloniki. The rules and conditions, which kept
married couples separated during the day, and the
realization of the 'lost paradise' led to an uprising of the
migrants who set fire to the wooded sheds (1961 and
1962). The police arrested some people, mainly Italians and Maltese,
who were later freed after a public outcry. In
1961, the Greek Orthodox Community of Melbourne, as well as those of
Sydney and Adelaide reacted with massive
meetings organized by the Pan Hellenic Committee in support of the
unemployed, demanding a stop to the legal
persecution of the helpless migrants who were accused of initiating
the uprising Greek soccer teams and wrestlers
were called on to stage games, acting groups to give performances of
plays and businessmen to contribute money so an
unemployment benefit could be given to the suffering new migrants.
The amount of the benefit was set at two pounds
for married couples and one pound for singles.
The insecurity in employment, the apprehension of being in a new
environment and the rarity of social functions due
largely to the low number of women in the communities, pushed young
men to controversial Greek social clubs which
were popular even before World War II. There was a huge increase in
the number of kafeneia (coffeehouses) and
gambling houses. Most of them were in the inner suburbs of
Australian capital cities where the majority of the newly
arrived migrants resided in order to be in close proximity to their
factories and the marketplaces. Many turned to
the Greek centres and clubs so that they could meet other Greeks.
There, many of them fell in to the traps of dice
and card playing.
Ancient Greeks believed that sports are an
important factor in one's life. Consequently they believed that
children should learn sports through games played during their
childhood. The purpose of those games was to teach children and
teenagers rivalry and healthy competition. Some games since most
sports were reserved for boys or men also aimed at teaching
teenagers the use of various types of weapons.
Some of those games
included:
- Akinitinda : a game in which the player competes against other
in how long they can stand on one foot
- Dielkustinda : where children were separated in two groups of two
each pulling the end of a rope trying to pull the opposite group to their side.
This is what nowadays is referred as "tug of war" A similar version
using a plank with a hole for the rope, was later documented as skaperda
- Episkyros : An early version of shot put
- Pali: The predecessor of Greco-Roman wrestling
- Pygmahia : What is today boxing
[see figure 1]
Other games in ancient Greece were associated with religious ceremonies.
For example the aiora what is today known as a swing, was developed
as part of the "Aiora" celebration dedicated to Erigone and Ikarius.
According to a Greek myth, Icarus invited Dionysus to Icaria and to repay
him for the great hospitality, Dionysus taught Icarius how to make wine.
Icarius wanting to share this new treasure with others gave wine to
some Athenian peasants who got drunk.
Thinking that Icarius was
trying to poison them, the Athenian peasants killed him.
When his
daughter Erigone discovered his body, she was so devastated that she
cursed the daughters of all Athenians to die the same way and then
hang herself from a tree. The curse caused all the Athenian Virgins
to start committing suicide by hanging from tree branches. When the
Athenias asked the Oracle for a response concerning this, they were
told to institute a festival day in honor of Icarius and Erigone,
which they named "Aiora". During this festival, the Athenia Virgins
would hang little dolls made from wax or clay from the trees. These
dolls were called plaggones and they represented the hanged
Virgins from the Myth. These hanging swinging dolls gave birth to
the basic children's swing, a set of ropes hanging from a tree
branch and a piece of plank attached to the ends of each rope. [see figure
2]
Ancient Greeks were very creative in
creating games and toys for their children. They sometimes were
elaborate replicas of real objects such as small chariots [see figure 3]
but other times were very simple like astragala which were a particular bone
fragment – vertebra. [see figure 4] The game played with astragala was called astragalismos
and although no formal explanation of the rules is found, it is believed to have been an
early version of dice with a point system designed around the
different sides of the vertebra. It is believed that these bones
were used also as a part of other games as the pentalitha,
artiasmos, omilla, and other future gambling games. Another
common game documented first in ancient Greece is crifto ,
the first instance of "hide and seek" and referred to as
apodidraskinda (from the verb for escape: apodidrasko).
Amazingly this game is still being played and so is the yoyo which
is first documented on an Athenian Kylix dated back to 440 BC. [see figure 5]

GEOGRAPHY
In the centre of the Cyclades, between Kythnos, Tenos, Rheneia
and Mykonos, Syros or Syra is 84 sq. km. in area, has 87 km. of
coastline and is 83 nautical miles from Piraeus. There are daily
passenger and car ferries from Piraeus, linking Syros with the
other Cycladic islands, with Herakleion in Crete, Ikaria, Samos
and Fournoi. A car ferry service from Rafina links Siros with
Andros and Tenos. Hermoupolis, the island's main town, is also
capital of the prefecture of the Cyclades, their administrative
and commercial centre with a population of 19,668.
Syros is a mountainous island (highest point Pyrgos, 431 miles.
a.s.l.) particularly in the north, whereas in the south it is
flat with small, fertile plains. As a consequence of this
alternating terrain the coast is indented with small coves,
headlands and two large bays: Phoinika on the west side and
Hermoupolis on the east, with lovely beaches between, popular
with visitors. The island retains much of its former grandeur
and because of its facilities for tourists, natural beauty,
historical and archeological monuments, one is assured of a
pleasant stay.
HISTORY
Excavations have verified the island's habitation since
Neolithic times. The prehistoric acropolis of Kastri and the
site of the Chalandriani have both yielded finds of the Early
Cycladic civilization (2700-2200 BC). Phoenicians were settled
here, the name of the village Phoinikas being a legacy of their
presence. In historical times Syros was colonized by Ionians
and had two large cities, one of which stood on the site of
Hermoupolis. During the Persian Wars it initially sided with the
Medes, though later joined the Athenian League. In Hellenistic
times it was under the aegis of Macedonia and the Egyptian
Ptolemies. In contrast with the other islands, Syros experienced
an acme in Roman times, which, however, was eclipsed in
Byzantine times. In 1207 it was a Venetian possession under
the
jurisdiction of the Duchy of Naxos. Then it was that the
fortified town of Ano Syros was built on the hill to the west of
the harbour. It was taken by the Turks in 1537. Many Catholics
from the surrounding islands sought refuge on Siros which, with
the support of Venice and the interest shown by the king of
France, developed into a bastion of the Latin faith. Shortly
before the 1821 Revolution Syros enjoyed considerable prosperity
and its harbour was a hive of commercial activity. Fugitives
from persecution by the Turks sought asylum here and in 1822
refugees from Psara, Chios and Smyrna built Hermoupolis between
Any Syros and the waterfront. For almost half a century Syros
flourished as a commercial, nautical, and cultural centre. The
development of Piraeus as the foremost port of Greece
signaled
its decline, but even today its population is largely involved
in entrepreneurial and maritime activities.
SIGHTS-MONUMENTS
As one sails into the island's harbour, Hermoupolis, the view of
the town is truly splendid, with its impressive mansions.
Neoclassical buildings, houses with pronounced folk
architectural elements extend upwards from the quayside to the
brow of the hill. Of the public buildings the Town Hall in
Miaoulis Square (designed by Ziller), built between 1876 and
1881, the commemorative statue of Miaoulis, the Municipal
Theatre "Apollo", small-scale copy of La Scala in Milan, are of
interest. Throughout the day Miaoulis Square with its elegant
palm trees throngs with life, while in the late afternoon its
cafes are a favourite meeting place. Churches of note include
that of the Transfiguration (the cathedral), the Dormition, St.
Demetrius (3 km. out of town), St. Barbra, St. Nicholas and
Three Hierarchs. The seafarers' quarter, Vaporia, has narrow
streets bordered by Neoclassical mansions. The Archaeological
Museum houses significant finds and the public library has a
rich selection of volumes old and new. The medieval town of Ano
Syros, built in Venetian times, stands on the hill of San
Giorgio. Its steep, stepped streets endow it with a special
charm and at its pinnacle stands the Catholic Church of San
Giorgio, which acquired its present aspect in 1843, replacing a
smaller, medieval chapel, now incorporated within its interior,
which stood on the site of a 12th century Byzantine Church. East
of the church of San Giorgio is the Bishop's residence and
nearby the Capuchin monastery and the Jesuit monastery. There
are over 50 Catholic churches on Siros, both in Hermoupolis and
other villages.
On the northeast side of the island (approx. 12 km. from
Hermoupolis) is the site of Chalandriani, dug by the
Greek
archaeologist Christos Tsountas who brought to light an
important prehistoric cemetery (500 graves). The copious finds
from there greatly enriched our knowledge of the Early Cycladic
civilization, particularly the early years of its floruit (2700
-2200 BC). Other prehistoric cemeteries have been located on
Syros (Pidna, Aghios Loukas).
Northwest of Chalandriani, on
the
hill of Kastri, early and more recent excavators have brought to
light a fortified settlement, one of the earliest in the
Cyclades. From the rich finds, dating to the second half of the
3rd millennium BC, contact with Asia Minor can be inferred.
According to tradition, at Platy Vouni, near Chalandriani, is
the cave of the historian and philosopher Pherekides, pupil of
Pitakos and teacher of Pythagoras, who hailed from Syros. The
southern part of the island is the most fertile and densely
populated. Greenery abounds in the richly planted gardens of
the
old summer houses built by sailors and merchants from
Hermoupolis. 2.5 km. from Hermoupolis is Talanta with its church
of St. John the Theologian. To the southeast, in the area of Ano
Manna, is the Phaneromenti monastery. Vari, the most beautiful
holiday spot, is 9 km. from town and has a sandy beach and clear
blue sea. In the bay of Phoinikas (12 km. from town) is
Poseidonia (Della Grazia) one of the loveliest areas on
the
island, rivaled perhaps by Parakopi (4 km further north). The
sea and sand at Angathopes is irresistible, while at Kini on
the
west side, (9 km from Hermoupolis)one is assured of an enjoyable
vacation. the beaches at Galissa, Megas Yalos and Grammata are
also delightful, while one can swim at Kymata and Aghios
Nikolaos right beside Hermoupolis. There is no problem in
reaching any of the beaches and there is regular public
transport. Caiques make trips from Kini or Hermoupolis to the
more remote beaches (Varvarousa, Grammata) and it is easier to
get to those on the northeast and northwest coast by boat, since
access by road is rather difficult. refueling station at
Hermoupolis. Accommodation is available in lots of hotels,
pensions, furnished rooms or flats and even Neoclassical villas
(Poseidonia, Manna).
