Antonopoulou, 76, cries as she leans on a wall in the gutted remains of her home in the village of Platanos, next to Ancient Olympia in southwestern Greece on Tuesday, Aug. 28, 2007. Antonopoulou lost 15 of her 20 goat and her house in a massive blaze that swept through the area, forcing the evacuations of villages and obliterating forests and olive groves. At least 64 people have died in an unprecedented inferno that has afflicted vast tracts of southern Greece since Friday.
