La réception de F. G. Lorca à l’école littéraire de Thessalonique

Author(s): Georges Fréris / Language(s): French Issue: 1/2016

The poetry school of Thessaloniki, considered as a simple trend by the modern Greek critics, influenced significantly the reception of modernism by the modern Greek literature. The Greek translations of modernist writers, mostly prose writers (V. Woolf, M. Proust, J. Joyce), appeared in the literature reviews of Thessaloniki. Few studies have focused on the field of poetry, where the work of F. G. Lorca had a major impact on various poetic tendencies defined by the left-wing or idealist poets of Thessaloniki. This article aims to study the influence on the poetic existence of certain of poets of Thessaloniki.

Formalistic Markers of the ‘Modern’ in Greek Poetry: a Retrospective from the Point of View of Literary History

Author(s): Fotiny Christakoudy-Konstantinidou / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

Defining Greek Modernism proves to be a difficult task. It can be said that trying to outline its boundaries raises more questions than provides us with answers, because it somehow resists homogeneous and pure categorisations. Through analysis of verse building we shall try to give a formal answer to the question of what is ‘modern’ for Neo-Greek literature and how, in fact, poetry becomes ‘modern’. As far as the measured speech is concerned, this argument can be easily solved by opting to examine the verse building techniques (versification, rhythmic steps, rhymes, tropes, etc.) and especially the presence of the free verse as a marker of emancipation from the iambic verse of fifteen syllables, emblematic for the Greek folk-song tradition and known also as decapentasyllabic verse. The occurring changes in metric structures are both a complex and a long process that gave its most mature fruit in the works of the 1930s generation (G. Seferis, O. Elytis, I. Ritsos, etc.). However, it turns out that these changes could not possibly be considered as the only leading indicator of modernity, perhaps once again because Greek poetry remained firmly rooted in the local tradition of artistic conventions (which can be seen as a general projection of the spiritual impulses dominating the Balkan peninsula) and metamorphoses encompassed the literary body at a somewhat conservative pace.

Les Affinités De La Poésie Populaire Serbe Et Néo-Grecque

Author(s): Miodrag Ibrovac / Language(s): French Issue: 1/1956

Ces pages forment le chapitre X — le dernier — d’une étude comparée d’histoire romantique sur Claude Fauriel interprète de la poésie populaire serbe et néo-grecque, dont on trouvera ici un rapide résumé. Parmi les différents chants exotiques qui ont ému ou simplement amusé le public en France, et en Europe, entre 1820 et 1840, ceux des Serbes et des Grecs occupent une des premières places. Ils ont eu des parrains illustres, une vogue intermittente mais durable, soutenue par un vif intérêt politique. En effet, même plus tard, jusqu’à nos jours, toutes les fois que les événements attiraient sur les Balkans l’attention de la France, de l’Europe, le souvenir de ces chants émergeait d’un oubli provisoire pour apporter au conflit la voix du passé, celle des héros qui l’incarnent, d’un Marko Kraljević ou d’un Botsaris, des haïdouques ou des kleftes. Souvent aussi une de ces poésies ranimait l’intérêt pour l’autre: ne s’agissait-il pas de deux peuples voisins également opprimés et avides de liberté? [...]

Epski jezik Homerovih pesama i »ahajski« dijalekat mikenske epohe

Author(s): Mihailo D. Petruševski / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 19/1981

Il est depuis longtemps connu que la langue des poèmes homériques, ainsi que des autres chansons épiques de l'ancienne Grèce, est un mélange de dialectes. Les Grecs eux-mêmes ont posé le problème des rapports entre la langue épique et les différents dialectes et parlers helléniques. La division tripartite des dialectes grecs en éolien, ionien et dorien était déjà connue à l'époque classique et elle était valable jusqu’ à la deuxième moitié du XIXe siècle. C’était la première étape des recherches sur la langue homérique. La deuxième étape commence après la publication des inscriptions arcadiennes et cypriotes (en 1884 parut le Ier tome de la »Sammlung der griechischen Dialekt-Inschriften« contenant les inscriptions cypriotes publiées par W. Decckeetles inscriptions arcadiennes publiées par F. Bechtel). A. Fick était le premier qui avait observé la présence de certains mots cypriotes dans l'épopée, comme Cette deuxième étape durait jusqu’ au déchiffrement du linéaire B en 1952—1953. La troisième étape des recherches et des études homériques commença par la publication de la célèbre »Evidence ...« de M. Ventriset J. Chadwick. Elle dure jusqu’ à nos jours. La langue des poèmes homériques et le dialecte grec de l’époque mycénienne avaient pendant la formation de l’Iliade et de l’Odyssée beaucoup plus de traits communs en appartenant à une communauté archaïque qui pouvait être nommée achéenne et qui était rompue par l’invasion et la pénétration doriennes au début du XIIe siècle av. n. è. Il faut pourtant avouer qu’il y ait, même, de différences évidentes dans le texte d’Homère provenant non seulement de l'intervention des aèdes et rapsodes, c'-à-d, des adaptations du texte d’Homère, le soi-disant »métacharacterismos« et les »rédactions « — éolienne, ionienne et attique, mais aussi du fait qu’à partir de la fin de l’époque mycénienne jusqu’ à l’apparition des chansons d’Homère ont pu passer deux ou trois siècles. Pendant cette période pouvaient apparaître certaines différences phonétiques, morphologiques et lexicales dans le développement intérieur du dialecte achéen, c’.-à-d. sans influence extérieure. Le développement de la langue a provoqué la disparition de plusieurs traits archaïques du grec mycénien; les labio-vélaires ont, p. ex., complètement disparu, c’.-à-d. elles étaient transformées en labiales, et, partiellement, en dentales. M’est-il pas tout à fait naturel d'attendre que les palatales, anciennes et nouvelles, disparaissent, c’.-à-d. qu'elles se transforment tout d'abord en affriquées et plus tard en sifflantes »fortes«. Le même processus s’est probablement passé dans le développent et les différences dans la morphologie et le cadre du dictionnaire. La plupart de ces changements dans la langue des anciens Achéens et des autres Grecs se sont passés très souvent parallèlement avec le développement des rapports économiques et sociaux des anciens Hellènes.

HOMEROS’UN ODESA’SINDA GEÇEN GASTRONOMİ ÖGELERİ ÜZERİNDEN ANTİK YUNAN YEMEK KÜLTÜRÜNE GENEL BAKIŞ

Author(s): Samuray Hakan Bulut / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 5/2019

Legends are among the leading elements of cultural heritage for any civilization. They offer valuable insights into the daily outlook and beliefs of the people, politics and much more in the domains of sociological analysis of human societies. Legends also often contain references to elements of gastronomy, and thus provide clues about the food and beverages habits of the nation. This study focuses on the gastronomic identity of Ancient Greece, with reference to three major elements: the history of some of the leading characteristics of the first class restaurants of today, with a perspective dating back to ancient Greece with specific references to Homer‟s Odyssey; the relationship between civilization and gastronomy; and the examples of gastronomic activities of the era, such as ceremonies and feasts.

Antigona i problem slobode

Author(s): Milena Stefanović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 18/2012

The paper discusses the interpretation of the conflict between Antigone’s and Creon’s principles in Sophocles’ tragedy Antigone, considering philosophical-political context of antiquity and contemporary feminist interpretations. Principal idea is to emphasize interpretation of Hegel’s understanding of the tragic in tragedy Antigone, as described in Phenomenology of Spirit, as well as interpretation of feminists conceptualizing Antigone as “female” principle in which they search for their ontological foundation for own political activism. However, following Hegel’s interpretation of Antigone and critique of nature and idea of natural law, we will attempt to explain that Creon himself represents a political, democratic principle, the evolving seed from which modern state and its guarantee of freedoms and rights would be born through historical process of Spirit. On the other hand, Antigone, whose principle is equally legitimate as Creon’s, symbolizes a pre-state principle, an unconscious substance of natural law that protects the household gods, law of blood, tribal patriarchal relations and, as such, has to perish and be overcome. The second dimension of analysis focuses on Creon’s ambivalent selfness, tormented by tragic conflict of two sides of the Spirit - conscious and unconscious substance. Although Creon’s action represents conscious substance embodied in universality of the law of polis, the aim is to highlight those sentences of Antigone which indicate a schism of Creon’s inner selfness, which is literally tragedy, but tragedy within himself.

Razumevanje pravde u Solonovim elegijama

Author(s): Željko Kaluđerović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 10/2008

This paper investigates the understanding of justice in the known verses of Solon elegies. These elegies, according to the author, imply, so called legal justice, which is a consequence of Solon’s determination to understand the laws and justice primarily as a human creation; however at the same time he recognizes the legitimacy of the traditional order being established within the divine order of the world. Athenians actually gave to Solon all authorities of a law-maker in order to enable him to implement a broad range of social, political and economic reforms with the purpose to achieve the unity of the polis which, at that time, was in a deep crisis. While saving the Athens, Solon made a series of radical cuts in all spheres of its life, but that, however, did not mean equating the property related and other differences between the aristocracy and demos. Solon, eventually, did not understand the justice as the right of every citizen to have or receive the same amount of honor and goods at distribution, i.e. arithmetic equality, but more as a distributive or geometric proportion which was taking into account somebody’s rank and merits belonging to him accordingly.

Достоевский и Аристотель (постановка проблемы)

Author(s): Anna Yurievna Nilova / Language(s): Russian Issue: 1/2019

The genre of tragedy was described in Aristotle’s Poetics, which had a formative influence on the subsequent European theory of literature. Interest in antiquity and its influence on modern European culture was manifested throughout Dostoevsky’s work. He read ancient authors and and thought about classical education a lot. Belinsky also pointed out the combination of the tragic and the comic in the writer’s works. The first attempts to describe the development of the ancient theory of tragedy in Dostoevsky’s novels date back to the beginning of the 20th century. The writer adopted the concept of Aristotle. He construes tragedy as representation of a catastrophic event with terrible consequences. Dostoevsky himself, following Aristotle, understands the tragic hero as an ordinary person whose sufferings cause compassion from the audience and spiritual purification — catharsis.

“L’amico è un altro se stesso”: amicizia, conoscenza di sé, conoscenza dell’altro in Omero e Aristotele

Author(s): Giuseppe Feola / Language(s): Italian Issue: 29/2023

The paper analyses Homer’s narrative about the friendship between Achilles and Patroklos in order to shed some light – with the aid of the tools of philosophical historiography and philology – on Aristotle’s account of friendship. Both by Homer and by Aristotle, friendship is described as an act of self-knowledge which is necessary to human beings insofar as they are unable to attain self-knowledge in a non-relational way. Some considerations are finally drawn about some themes in modern scientific thought that seem to point to a possibility of a modern reusage of Aristotle’s account of friendship.

THÉÂTRE ET MYTHE. MYTHE ET THÉÂTRE DE DIANA-ADRIANA LEFTER

Author(s): Crina-Magdalena Zărnescu / Language(s): French Issue: 35/2024

Diana-Adriana Lefter presents, through this volume, a diachronic journey tracing the long-standing relationship between myth and theater. This is a dense and significant book in the field of theater studies, bearing the mark of a specialist in literature and myth criticism. Structured into three chapters and six appendices, Lefter's work explores the presence of the myth of Hercules' birth and the myth of Oedipus in plays from Greco-Roman Antiquity and French literature. There is a thematic structure—all the comedies in the corpus revolve around the same mythical subject, the birth of Hercules, while all the analyzed tragedies explore the myth of Oedipus—as well as a chronological structure, as the author seeks to capture the evolution of the two dramatic genres. This is a well-thought-out choice and an excellent selection of texts, as it allows for a parallel evolution: that of the dramatic genre and that of the literary adaptation of myths. .

A Straight and Unerring Line

Author(s): Nikos Chryssos / Language(s): English Issue: 33/2024

In this essay Nikos Chryssos explores the intellectual and creative journey of Nikos Kazantzakis, a towering figure in 20th-century Greek literature and philosophy. Kazantzakis engaged with a wide range of philosophical and ideological influences, including Nietzsche, Bergson, Darwin, and Eastern metaphysics, which shaped his distinctive worldview and literary output. His works reflect a profound struggle to reconcile opposing ideas such as nihilism and spirituality, as well as his quest for freedom, creative evolution, and existential meaning. The essay highlights key milestones in Kazantzakis’ intellectual life, including his formative education, his encounters with major thinkers, and his synthesis of diverse philosophical traditions. Central to his philosophy is a dynamic conception of God, characterized by a relentless pursuit of transcendence and creative freedom, which challenges orthodox religious dogma. The text also examines the dualistic and dialogical elements in his writing, exemplified in works such as Zorba the Greek, The Saviors of God, and Report to Greco, where metaphysical, theological, and existential questions are interwoven with vivid storytelling.
