The Fratricides by the Greek author Nikos Kazantzakis recounts the tragic violence that swallowed the Greek countryside in the civil war of the late s. Castello, a village in Epirus is not spared all the death and destruction which culminated during the Holy Week.
The Fratricides is set during the Greek civil war, and the title refers to Greeks killing their brother Greeks. Caught between the opposing sides - the government troops who hold his village, Castello, and the communist guerillas holding the top of the mountain - is Father Yanaros, who alone stands for peace and the brotherhood of his fellow Greeks. Nikos Kazantzakis' novel, The Fratricides, is aptly named for it is set during the late s when Greece was in the midst of a civil war. "Fratricides" are brother killers, the first crime that occurs in the Old Testament. A civil war is also the bloodiest war imaginable, as those who are familiar with the US Civil War know so well.
