Katerina Gogou was born in Athens on the first of June 1940 and spent the first years of her childhood in the harshest conditions of the Nazi occupation when famine due to conscription of all edibles led to hundreds of thousands of deaths in Athens. Her memories of the years of the Nazi occupation, the Resistance and the Civil War are reflected in a piece of prose published post-mortem from her unfinished poetical authobiography ?My name is the Odyssey?:

?Gang-war Aaaaaaaaa! This is the gang-war. Grrrrreeks with big hats, I know, they called them republicas. Square, biiiig, with long coats and cabardines, they had guns in their pockets, maybe more gun inside. With their hands in their pockets they shot other Greeks and they walked fast as if in a great hurry or as if someone was chasing them. I wanted -they did not let me, they said- to go out. Out I wanted. There I wanted. To the ?It Is Forbidden?. In our corner, Lambrou Katsoni and Boukouvalla, piles of eaten cats and famine corpses -they called them trash- parents and children. I saw through the glass a bullet hitting my left hand palm, blood and the trash breathing. My mother was in the kitchen and my father I don?t even know where, I open the door and I go to the trash. And there I saw, and I don?t give a dime if you don?t believe me, the most beautiful boy I had seen in my life. He was covered there, holding a machine gun, he had a short blond beard and long blond hair. His eyes?I don?t know to tell their colour. He looked like or was the Christ. ?Go little girl, go?, he told me, ?away from here. They will kill me?. I took a deep breath to run fast. ?Bend so I can kiss you?, he told me. I was already home. The first man and the last I ever loved was an urban guerrilla?

Οι μόνοι άνθρωποι που υπάρχουν για μένα είναι οι τρελοί, αυτοί που τρελαίνονται να ζήσουν, τρελαίνονται να μιλήσουν, τρελαίνονται να σωθούν, που ποθούν τα πάντα ταυτόχρονα, αυτοί που ποτέ δε χασμουριούνται ή λένε έστω και μία κοινοτοπία, αλλά που καίγονται σαν τα μυθικά κίτρινα ρωμαϊκά κεριά, που σκάνε σαν πυροτεχνήματα ανάμεσα στα αστέρια κι από μέσα τους ξεπηδά το μπλε φως της καρδιάς τους, κι όσοι τους βλέπουν κάνουν: Αααα!!!! με θαυμασμό...
