Google Doodles today celebrating Halikarnas Balıkçısı, or the Fisherman of Halicarnassus, Cevat Şakir Kabaağaçlı, a 19th-century writer and son of an Ottoman diplomat who was exiled to Bodrum for the crime of “seditious writing,” and ended up spending the next 30 years in residence there, becoming an important figure in the “Blue Anatolia” (Mavi Anadolu) literary movement (the Mavicılar, or “Blueists” believed that all civilizations in Anatolian history formed a cultural continuum).
