"The heiress Athina Onassis de Miranda has caused huge controversy in Athens by failing to attend a press conference, pronounce a word in Greek or even hand out cups to the winners of an equestrian event held in her mother's memory. Making her second visit to Athens in five years, the last surviving member of the shipping dynasty has been criticized for being herself: low-key and media-shy."

DF: Greeks can't seem to grasp why Onassis has distanced herself from her past. She's had just a couple of low key visits to Greece in the past 5 years -- and doesn't seem to be drawn to the island of Skorpios, where her mother and grandfather are buried.
