This cipher is a creation of an eight-year-old in the 1990s. Based on the Greek alphabet, it was devised intuitively, with no underlying logic governing its symbols. It reflects the references that a young person growing up in Athens found accessible; some characters are simple and recognizable–like hearts and smiley faces—while others are more intricate. Writing systems are typically designed for communication between individuals, but this particularscript remains known to only one person, making it a medium for selfcommunication. Since its invention, this cipher has been a constant presence in the life of its creator. Initially used to safeguard secrets from bothersome younger siblings, its purpose has evolved to serve as a reminder about the whereabouts of hidden things. The text being written in the video transcribes one of Aesop’s fables about a sick lion king, a devious wolf, and a vengeful fox.
