| Additional information |
Penelope Delta — novelist, not mythological figure — is best known for *Treason*, a 1937 novel set during the Macedonian Struggle that shaped how generations of Greek children understood the early twentieth-century fight over Ottoman Macedonia. Her selection for this issue follows Greece's established practice of honoring cultural figures on the standard circulation commemorative, a program running since the currency's reintroduction in 2002. Delta died by suicide in April 1941, the day German forces entered Athens.
