Download or read book A Greek Ballad written by Michális Ganás and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunning collection that draws from four decades of verse by one of modern Greece's most lauded poets This is the first English-language collection of work by the renowned Greek poet Michális Ganás. Originally from a remote village on the northwest border of Greece, Ganás witnessed the Greek Civil War as a young child, and was taken into enforced exile in Eastern Europe with his family. Weaving together subtle references to the events and places that have defined his life's story, Ganás's terse and technically accomplished poems are a combination of folklore, autobiography, and recent history. Whether describing the mountains of his youth or the difficulties of acclimation in Athens of the 1960s and 1970s, Ganás's writing is infused with striking and original imagery inspired by love, memory, and loss. Featuring expert translations--made in collaboration with Ganás himself--by David Connolly and Joshua Barley, this volume also includes a scholarly introduction to the poet's life and work.
Download or read book Greek Folk Poesy Vol I Folk Verse written by Lucy Garnett and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-05 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the General Preface. Hardly at all is it recognized to how remote a date the first collecting of Folklore goes back; how very remarkable, and, indeed, revolutionary, have been the chief Epochs of the collecting of especially mythical and historical traditions; and how clear a periodicity may be traced in the recurrence of the greater of these Epochs. How far the oldest monuments of Culture-lore, the oldest Sacred Books of Egypt and Chaldea in their primitive forms, incorporated Folklore may remain doubtful. Perhaps they had exclusively for their contents the Kosmical, and particularly the Astronomical Observations and Theories, the Historical Traditions, and the Sacred Songs and Ritualistic Observances of the Ruling White Race of these River-valleys. Unquestionably Folk-belief and Folk-custom influenced, at a very early period, both the doctrines and the rites of the Religions of which men of the Higher Race constituted themselves the systematisers and hierophants. But, so far as we as yet know, it was not till a later Age, though still as early as from the Third Millennium B.C., that Folklore was definitely collected, and, in a more or less transformed shape, presented in Culture-lore -- as in the great Chaldean Epic, of which the Flood-story is an episode (2300 B.C.), and in the earliest collections of Egyptian, Chinese, and Indian Folk-tales. It was not, however, till a still later Age -- the Age that must be dated from that great Asian-European Revolution of the Sixth Century B.C., which broke up the Ancient, and initiated New Civilizations, in which all our modern conflicts are already found in germ -- it was not till this Age that the interaction of Folklore and Culture-lore became more definitely historical, and more socially and politically important. And in both Sacred and Secular Literatures there are found, not only at this great Epoch, but thereafter at regularly recurring Epochs, characteristic manifestations of the recordation of Folklore by, and its influence on, the Cultured Classes.

Download or read book The Poems of Hesiod written by Hesiod and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2017-08 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Theogony is one of the most important mythical texts to survive from antiquity, and we devote the first section to it. It tells of the creation of the present world order under the rule of almighty Zeus. The Works and Days, in the second section, describes a bitter dispute between Hesiod and his brother over the disposition of their father's property, a theme that allows Hesiod to range widely over issues of right and wrong. The Shield of Herakles, whose centerpiece is a long description of a work of art, is not by Hesiod, at least most of it, but it was always attributed to him in antiquity. It is Hesiodic in style and has always formed part of the Hesiodic corpus. It makes up the third section of this book"--Provided by publisher.

Book excerpt: The "prequel" of "The tiller of the times", "Tracing the Times" (original Greek text, 2005) by Athens lawyer and poet, Augerinos Andreou, was translated and published in English (2013-2014) by Connie Stamos. Andreou's themes come from antiquity and Greek history, as well as his reflections on the harshness of city life as opposed to the poet's birthplace in Ano Kalendini, Arta. Capturing the narratives and the style of folk songs of Epirus, Andreou curates the words, sounds, music, nature and imagery of his homeland. Augerinos Andreou is an Athens lawyer. He is current Secretary (2023) and President (2009) of the Athens-based Hellenic Literary Society. REVIEWED by Dr. Maria Sidiropoulou Professor of Translation Studies Department of English Language and Literature National and Kapodistrian University of Athens [This translator: Connie Stamos] '... deftly articulated a target [English] version of Augerinos Andreou’s poetry, manifesting a profound understanding of the poet’s lyricism, folk culture-orientedness and an in/justice awareness which permeates social experience and the poet’s work.' Dr M.Sidiropoulou from Preface, 'The tiller of the times' (A Andreou 2nd ed. 2023). Print version

Download or read book Austerity Measures written by Karen Van Dyck and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2017-03-28 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A remarkable collection of poetic voices from contemporary Greece, Austerity Measures is a one-of-a-kind window into the creative energy that has arisen from the country's decade of crisis and a glimpse into what it is like to be Greek today. The 2008 debt crisis shook Greece to the core and went on to shake the world. More recently, Greece has become one of the main channels into Europe for refugees from poverty and war. Greece stands at the center of today’s most intractable conflicts, and this situation has led to a truly extraordinary efflorescence of innovative and powerfully moving Greek poetry. Karen Van Dyck’s wide-ranging bilingual anthology—which covers the whole contemporary Greek poetry scene, from literary poets to poets of the spoken word to poets online, and more—offers an unequaled sampling of some of the richest and most exciting poetry of our time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1996, this volume contains essays by scholars, critics and translators and includes themes such as the myth in the Cretan Renaissance and the use of ancient myth by 19th and 20th Century poets. Some essays deal with individual mythical figures such as Odysseus, Orpheus, Prometheus and Aphrodite, while others deal with the problematic issue of the use of myth by Greek women poets. The discussion is completed by comparing attitudes to the ancient Greeks as embodied in English and modern Greek poetry.
