Books
Cranial Nerves for Medical Students
The cranial nerves in three dimensional space. An introductory text and atlas for medical students, with clinical cases.
Deus Absconditus - The Hidden God
Written by a natural scientist, this book is an essay on universal consciousness, which the author explores using a comparative approach borrowed from the neurosciences and Physics. A super sentient being, God is relative to a level of organization and is necessarily hidden for sentient beings of lower levels. Other books by the same author: Dirfyan Elegy: Poems of Passage (2010); Far Pitched Tents: Poems of War (2011); Rape in Ahmetaga: A sacrifice (fiction, 2011); The Iliad - Twenty Centuries of Translation (criticism 2012); The Iliad - The Male Totem (criticism 2013); Fotis (Fiction, 2013); Parmenides: The World as Modus Cogitandi (2013)
The Iliad - Twenty Centuries of Translation
The Iliad is about "klea andron", the glorious and terrible deeds of men in relation to other men, the raw content of the soul of man, but not of woman. It is a vast lagoon of dream fragments of the male unconscious, haunted with eternal shadows that compete, strut, fight, kill and rape, and above all seek the approval of other men. In this book, I have traced the history of the Iliad from papyrus, to parchment, to paper, to e-book. Next, I have looked critically into the first ten lines of Book 1 of the Iliad in the Latin, French, Greek (vernacular), and lastly English translations, beginning with the first translations of Hall, and Chapman. New translations of passages recovered from papyri and parchment, done by the present author, are included. Lastly, a theory of translation of poetry is attempted.

Ena tragoudi gia tis agapes pou efigan. A song for the ones we loved and now are gone. (This book is written in Greek. English and French translations exist in separate volumes)

Viasmos ston Achmetaga
This book is in Greek. An English translation is to be found in a seperate volume. A look into the darkness of male soul. Set in post Ottoman Greece, this enigmatic story reads like a detective plot but it is in fact a literary work loaded with anthropological, philosphical and psychoanalytic themes.
Behavioral and Neural Plasticity

Elpenor in Ahmetaga
Elpenor, the Homeric warrior, begs for a burial. In this book the author continues the Ahmetaga saga. Here are some moving stories of his lost friends.
Rape in Ahmetaga

Dirfyan Elegy

Fotis
An enigmatic short story that cuts into the darkness of the male soul. A simple story of a retired man. A lunch under a mulberry tree that opens the doors to the simple joys of life, the hidden pain, drama and despair. A Kafka like nightmare.
Parmenides in Apophatic Philosophy
In this book, the author presents a novel thesis regarding apophatic philosophy. He traces the roots of "De Mystica Theologia" by Dionysius Areopagite (pseudo Dionysius) in the poem of Parmenides "peri physeos". As a secondary theme, the author explores the ineffable in Greek philosophy.
Statistics for College Students and Researchers
