This article attempts to enhance the interpretation of Μυθιστόρημα 6 by exploiting more fully the wide range of verse, music and extra-textual data that can be connected with it. This entails a reassessment of several aspects of the poem, including the role of Maurice Ravel, the identity of the garden with the fountains, the connotations of the dark glass, and the significance of the rain. The poem emerges as a demonstration of the fragility of human culture which sets the contest of competing Hellenisms underlying Μυθιστόρημα in a sobering context
