- Comments
- "Denial" or "Refusal" is a poem published in the Sefiris collection Στροφή (Strophe) in 1931. After the coup that overthrew the Greek government in 1967 and brought the Greek military junta of 1967–1974 to power, Seferis went into voluntary seclusion and many of his poems were banned, including the musical versions which Mikis Theodorakis had written and arranged. Στο περιγιάλι το κρυφό - based on Αρνηση - came to be the anthem of resistance to the regime and was sung by the enormous crowds lining the streets at Seferis' funeral in 1971.
