Olympos Captain Eudomos

A captain who has been standing on the north side of the
stream flowing between two mountains in the transition from blue
to green and from green to blue for 1800 years, greets today
thousands of people who want to cool off by descending into
the deep blue sea after visiting the city of Olympos. So much so
that everyone who has been to the blue of Olympos knows this
captain who has been there for thousands of years. Because
he was integrated himself with that deep blue sea at the time
of Captain Eudomos. He said “sails forward” a thousand times
in this blue, then disappeared over the horizons; he shouted
“anchor” thousands of times on the shores of his country, where
he went and returned. From where he stands today, who knows
how many times he successfully passed the city to Olympos.
“He entered the last port, the ship docked, about to leave.
Because there is no need for wind or sunlight anymore.
Captain Eudemos after leaving the light-bearing dawn
His ship sunk there, ephemeral like a day, like a broken wave.”
