ABSTRACT
In modern Athens, the vehicle of mass transportation are called metaphorai. To go to work or come home, one takes a ‘metaphor’ – a bus or a train. Stories could also take this noble name: every day, they traverse and organize places; they select and link them together; they make sentences and itineraries out of them … These proliferating metaphors – sayings and stories (that) organize places through the displacements they ‘describe’ (as a mobile point ‘describes’ a curve).
