    It's an idiom that's being used by the people who live (or used to live), in the Ionian islands known as "The Eptanissa".

    The word has mainly two meanings

    1. "Sweet craziness": People from Eptanissa always act and speak with a more energetic way than the other Greeks usually do.
    They seem to enjoy that difference by using that world as they speak for themselves.

    2. "Spontaneous act of craziness": So as they're familiar with their way of doing things, they use this word as a noun meaning that somebody made an act with absolutely no thoughts about the act itself and the results of it.

    "Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying to?
    You will never find that life for which you are looking.
    When the gods created man they allotted to him death,
    but life they retained in their own keeping"
