- Summary:
- Part 7 of Chris Marker's contemplative essay about the influence of Greek culture in our society. In each of the thirteen episodes, a Greek word is deciphered by artists and intellectuals from various countries. This episode explores how all the meanings of "logos" originated from a small territory between Ephesus and Patmos. According to Aristotle the human animal fights with a specific weapon: speech. Would logos' destiny be the "logomachy" (the fight over words)?
