Mythistory, a term used in science, literature, and art, reflects the relationship between the imaginary and the real, the natural and the supernatural, the rational narrative and the absurd fairy tale. It intertwines different, sometimes even contradictory, spheres of existence. History represents knowledge, while Myth signifies transcendence.

The nine artists—Alexandra Athanassiades, Lydia Delikoura, Iasonas Kampanis, Katerina Katsifarakis, Alekos Kyrarinis, Tasos Mantzavinos, Petros Moris, Nikos Podias, and Nana Sachini—form a collective vision around the individual and shared concepts of Myth and History. In the second part of the exhibition in Athens, the participating artists expand on the theme, either through new ad hoc creations or by reinterpreting earlier historical works.

Mythistories unfold sequentially from one work to another, forming a cohesive whole while maintaining the distinct narrative identity of each artist.
