THE MARIA CALLAS GOOGLE DOODLE (DRAFT)

Posted by George Freund on December 2, 2013

Today Comrade Google honors the opera singer Maria Callas in their popular doodle feature. I can honestly say I have appreciated her music very much over the years. She was a very talented woman who had a troubled background. Her name on her birth certificate was Sophia Cecelia Kalos. Her baptismal name was Anna Maria Sofia Cecilia Kalogeropoulou which is of course Greek. Her father, George, shortened the Greek version to Kalos. That is the key word in the doodle. In classical Greek it meant beautiful a wise choice for a daughter although she felt she was the ugly duckling as a child. In combination with the word kagathos it was used in a military context chivalrous. The term would apply to a knight or gentleman and a person destined to sacrifice such as a war hero or martyr.



Kalos is also a region on the Pokémon world. It is shaped like a five pointed star. A five pointed star is a star polygon. In Greek of course the prefix penta would be applicable.

In geometry, a "regular star polygon" is a self-intersecting, equilateral equiangular polygon, created by connecting one vertex of a simple, regular, p-sided polygon to another, non-adjacent vertex and continuing the process until the original vertex is reached again.



An example would be the classic pentagon. I think we can see that this specific word is taking us into the military specifically the American military headquarters or even more precisely Google's headquarters which is in the Pentagon district of Venice, California that we were lead to in a previous doodle. It is fitting because Maria's father George relocated the family to America specifically the Washington Heights area of Manhattan. New York is the classic target for martyrdom. It was constructed by Washington's Continental Army in The Revolutionary War.



Maria's mother, Evangelia, left New York and her husband George with her two daughters Maria and Yakinthi (Jackie) in 1937. From the frying pan she entered the fire of an occupied Greece of World War II. Evangelia did not work and pressed her daughters to let themselves be entertained by German and Italian officers in return for money or food. It was said Maria remained untouched by the sordid practice. It says a lot for the present day banker's occupation of Greece where the Greek people are forced into entertaining the whims of EU bankers of whom many are German.



There is a star fort in Japan on the island of Hokkaido named Goryōkaku. With the rising tensions in the far east that may have tremedous significance. There is a Korean made car called the Kalos as well. Both Japan and Korea are major focal points of tension. We would hope such a vehicle is not used to achieve martyrdom in some future false flag attack in New York.



The kalos is better known as the Pontiac Wave or Suzuki Swift in America.

I hope we have whet your appetite so far. I'm sure we have more to follow.
