Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to remind us of a great Greek revolutionary, Rigas Feraios, an eminent figure of the enlightening ideas in the Balkans who was a writer and a visionary at the same time. Apart from his political works, written mostly as a reflection of ideas of the French Revolution and the French Constitution from 1793, we were mostly interested in the first part of the paper and its translational opus, since he had published many Greek translations of the French works. The paper also deals with his language innovations of the retaining Greek folk language. Rigas Feraios wrote in Greek modern folk language and his poems, collected in a manuscript posthumously printed, aroused the revolutionary upheavals and fervor all around Greece. The other part of the paper deals with analysis of Rigas` most famous war-poem Thourios.
