άρχισε ο κούκος να το λέει

[altan]

Good evening,
Is there any relation of those words with New Testament?

 

[Lefki]

Hi, Altan!

I think Kazantzakis is alluding to the stormy first mating of Zeus and Hera.

Take a look at this.

 

[altan]

Thanks a lot, Lefki.

 

[Lefki]

You are most welcome!
