»Mein ganzes Hiersein wird absorbiert vom Sich-Erinnern. Und es gibt das Licht, gierig sauge ich es in mich auf.« Giorgos Seferis (1900–1971), Nobelpreisträger für Literatur des Jahres 1963, war griechischer Diplomat. 1950, als Botschaftsrat in Ankara, unternahm er zwei Reisen nach Smyrna (türkisch Izmir), an die Orte seiner Kindheit. 1914, wenige Jahre vor der kleinasiatischen Katastrophe, die mit der Vertreibung der Griechen endete, war die Familie nach Athen gezogen. Smyrna, Zentrum des kleinasiatischen Griechentums, brannte 1922 fast vollständig ab. über die Kindheit hinaus stört Seferis' Besichtigung das nationale und das ganz persönliche Trauma der Vertreibung in ihm selber auf, aber auch die Gegenwärtigkeit der griechischen Antike, die erst mit dem Exodus, sagt er, unwiederbringlich unterging. Ionische Reise, dem umfangreichen Tagebuch des Dichters entnommen, bietet bewegende Lektüre, nicht nur für Griechenlandfreunde und Bildungsreisende.
