Η Κλίμακα · The 33 steps

Backdrop, oil painting: the broken gates of Hades lying crossed in a cavern of fire and smoke. Backdrop, oil painting: a Greek harbour town at night, lamplit windows above a dark sea. Backdrop, oil painting: dawn breaking through storm clouds over a rolling sea, angels in the rays. Backdrop, oil painting: a gold heaven of seraphim around a radiant centre of light.

Η Άβυσσος · The Abyss

Before the first step

Ερχόμαστε από μια σκοτεινή άβυσσο· καταλήγουμε σε μια σκοτεινή άβυσσο· το μεταξύ φωτεινό διάστημα το λέμε Ζωή.

We come from a dark abyss; we end in a dark abyss; the luminous interval between we call Life.

Νίκος Καζαντζάκης, Ασκητική (Nikos Kazantzakis, The Saviours of God), prologue, 1927. English translation ours.

Giorgos Mazonakis was born in Nikaia on 4 March 1972 and released his first album, «Μεσάνυχτα και κάτι», in 1993. His anniversary concert at Technopolis, Athens, planned for 20 September 2026, carried the title «33 χρόνια από το Α έως το Ω»: 33 years, from Alpha to Omega. He died on 9 September 2026, eleven days before it.

According to HELLO! Greece, he opened his last television interview («Τετ α τετ», ALPHA Cyprus, broadcast 12 July 2026) by saying that his years in singing were 33, «σαν του Χριστού», like Christ's.

So here are 33 steps: 33 of his songs, from his first hit to his last, «Επιπτώσεις», climbing out of the dark toward the light.

Scroll, swipe or use the arrow keys to climb. Stay on a step and its song plays.

Oil painting: Giorgos and Christ walk hand in hand up white steps into a mandorla of light, angels lining the way and seraphim above them.

Φτάσε όπου δεν μπορείς!

Reach where you cannot!
