Like the ancient colossus that stood over the harbor of Rhodes,
Henry Miller's The Colossus of Maroussi stands as a seminal classic
in travel literature. It has preceded the footsteps of prominent
travel writers such as Pico Iyer and Rolf Potts. The book Miller
would later cite as his favorite began with a young woman's
seductive description of Greece. Miller headed out with his friend
Lawrence Durrell to explore the Grecian countryside: a flock of
sheep nearly tramples the two as they lie naked on a beach; the
Greek poet Katsmbalis, the "colossus" of Miller's book, stirs every
rooster within earshot of the Acropolis with his own loud crowing;
cold hard-boiled eggs are warmed in a village's single stove, and
they stay in hotels that "have seen better days, but which have an
aroma of the past."
