Dementia
It is widely believed by modern experts that Pachis suffered from dementia and Alzheimer's near the end of his life, with one commonly cited piece of evidence being a 1959 meeting with Zamastanian President Marvin Gaviria where Appolon allegedly referred to Gaviria as his son Giorgios (Who passed away from a drug overdose 3 years prior) and asked him when he was going to "quit throwing your life away and go into politics, you could win a seat in the Delaïkó off of your last name alone" an aide then quickly notified Pachis of his mistake and Pachis seemed to regain his alertness, trying to pass off the remark as a joke.
