Abstract

In this essay I try a hermeneutic approach to the hypothesis of a biography of historical spaces: historical, not only because they housed and were the scene of great feats - in the strictest herodotian sense - but also because the part of life that in them it has spilled, writing them, visiting them, studying them ... dreaming them ... from other spaces - some very distant - has, metaphorically, the character that in the subjects takes the name of "biography". In addition, taken in its general, holistic dimension, there would also be a consideration of Life, which involves all individual life. For this purpose I start from the etymology of two Greek words: ??? (Z??) that connotes life in general. That Z?? (cosmic-natural) manifested itself to the senses of the poet, the philosopher and the politician as ???? (bios) - individual life - imprint of that whole of the Z?? that is reflected in the mikro as in a mirror. At this point, I propose a biography of Istanbul - passing through Sumer- as a Greek city read by Christianity and Islam. In this writing styles and genres intersect: travel notes, historical-hermeneutical essay and poetic prose.
