Kapodistrias: "Written between May and July 1944 in Aegina and first performed by the National Theatre in March 1946. It is one of the most complete tragedies by Nikos Kazantzakis and one of the most interesting works of modern Greek drama. It is divided into three parts with different settings and is mostly written in thirteen-syllable verse, while the choral songs of the female chorus are in eleven-syllable with slight variations. The hero's psychology is here, as in his other works: He knows beforehand his end, but does not attempt to avoid it. Instead, he walks towards it with full awareness, thereby affirming his freedom."

Christopher Columbus: "Written between May and June 1949 under the original title 'The Golden Apple'; it was performed by the Greek Popular Theatre of Manos Katrakis at the Municipal Theatre of Piraeus in 1976. Columbus embodies the leader, the strong and gifted individual who, with his inner wealth, manages to resist every objective difficulty and escape from every internal crisis, achieving his mission's goal. Thus, we can consider this well-written work as an essay on human struggle and the pursuit of freedom."

Sodom and Gomorrah: "Written in June 1948 in Antibes, France, where the author was residing, within thirteen days (started on June 6 and finished on the 16th of the same month). It was first published in the magazine 'Nea Estia' in the summer of 1949 and released in a reprint; in 1954 it was performed in Mannheim. Once again, the familiar theme of Jewish history transformed presents us with one of his final stands regarding the problem of the existence of God. Lot, freed from the oppression of the concept of God, realizes that 'God is a son of fear and not his father.' Thus, his spirit liberates itself and conquers freedom in the dimensions of space and time within which he lives."

Buddha: "One of the defining stages through which the formation of Nikos Kazantzakis's personality passed was that of Buddhism. He found himself in this around 1922, when disillusioned with the Greek reality and bitter [...] living in Vienna and Berlin. There, the work was first written in 1922, under the original title 'Yang-Tse,' while he was immersed in nihilism. His initially metric writing in 3,000 verses became prose in 1932, was revised once more in 1940 in Aegina, and took its final form at the end of his life. The world through this is projected as a product of the senses, without objective existence. Thus, the absolute subjectivism expressed through it becomes the counterbalance to external misery, offering the individual his absolute consciousness freedom. Therefore, the entire work is merely an exploration of the known motif: freedom exists beyond fear and hope."
