    Gustave Laffon, In: Thersites 8 (2018), 1-33

    PAPPAS, VASILEIOS (UNIVERSITY OF IOANNINA) The first Modern Greek translation of Catullus’ poems by Gustave Laffon, in: thersites 8 (2018), 1-33. KEYWORDS Catullus, Lesbia, Laffon, Latin, reception, translation. ABSTRACT The reception of Catullus has a long history in Western Europe, with numerous critical editions, translations and commentaries covering his work. In Greece during the 19th century, however, there were only a few, selective translations of Catullus’ poems. Gustave Laffon (1835-1906), a Franco-Cypriot poet, wrote in Modern Greek and translated a number of French authors into Greek, as well as a few Latin poems. In this paper, I will cover Laffon’s five Modern Greek translations of Catullus’ poems for Lesbia in verse (published after his death, in his Apanta from 1915). I will do this from a threefold per- spective: by identifying the prototypes of these poems; by analysing some of his translation techniques, language and style; and finally by seeking out the readership of these translations. RESUME La réception de Catulle a une longue histoire en Europe occidentale. De nombreuses éditions critiques, traductions et commentaires de son œuvre ont été publiés. Au XIXe siècle, en Grèce, on compte peu de traductions de quelques poèmes de Catulle. Gustave Laffon (1835- 1906) était un poète franco-chypriote qui écrivait en grec moderne et qui traduisit différents auteurs français en grec, de même que quelques poèmes issus de la poésie lyrique et élégiaque latine. Dans cet article, on étudie ses cinq traductions en vers et en grec moderne Vasileios Pappas des poèmes de Catulle pour Lesbie, traductions publiées après sa mort dans Apanta paru en 1915.
