1 In a lecture given in 1980 D.N. Maronitis pointed out this mistake in the deadline of , connecting this poem with Seferis's experience of attending both the funeral of Eleftherios Venizelos in Crete in March 1936 and that of the liberal politician Andreas Michalakopoulos in March 1938. Beaton precedes his discussion of this poem with a reference to Michalopoulos's funeral, though he doesn't make an explicit connection between and Michalopoulos's funeral (or that of Venizelos). It is difficult to see how a poem written in February 1938 is related to an event that took place the following month.
