ΟΚ, i was tempted to use phrases from the New Testament like " αρον, άρον σταύρωσον αυτόν" that the mob was shouting during the trial of Jesus ( go on, crucify him), " Ινα πληρωθή το ρηθέν υπό του προφήτου" ( so as what was written would be fulfilled) and " Και ημείς μεν δικαίως· άξια γαρ ων επράξαμεν απολαμβάνομεν" ( what the one crucified thief said to the other " we deserve what we are now suffering"), but i didn't know if those were the phrases you paraphrased.
"Mon coupe-file de trouvère" also gave me a hard time. Even though i understood the meaning i couldn't find something equivalent . " Φύλλο προτεραιότητας", " ευνοϊκή μεταχείριση", " επείγοντα", "ασυλία", "περίοδος χάριτος" ; So i used " συγχωροχάρτι"( indulgence) which is close to ασυλία (immunity) but is more metaphorical and figurative. https://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%A3%CF%85%CE%B3%CF%87%CF%89%CF%81%CE%BF...
Also " veni, vidi, vici" in greek is known as " ήλθον,είδον, απήλθον" and " ενίκησα" is omitted .

I am glad you liked it and you don't have any problem that my translation is not word to word. This was impossible, sorry.

It's OK, I think you got it very well. The text is of course somehow ironical and sarcastic, and it sometimes evokes the Bible and the crucifixion of Jesus (although I wouldn't dare to compare myself to Him, of course...), but also any supplice or martyrdom.
I'm not too happy with my "coupe-file de trouvère", I understand that it may be a little hard to grasp. I meant that, as a (registered) poet, who can show a document that proves it, I should take advantage of certain benefits attached to that condition, but it doesn't really work... Of course it's a joke, there is no such document for a poet (but there are some for journalists, for example).
"Veni, vixi" is a pun too, the real expression, as you noted it, is "Veni, vidi, vici". "Vixit" was used by the Romans to mean "he has lived = he died" (euphemism).
Anyway thanks a lot, you got skills !
