RECENTLY DISCOVERED WRITER Athina Malapani Teacher of Classical & Modern Greek Philology, PhD student, MA in Classics National & Kapodistrian University of Athens 26 Mesogeion, Korydallos, 18 121 Athens, Greece E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] STRACT he aim of this article is to present a Greek writer, Penelope Delta. This writer has re­ Tcently come up in the field of the studies of the Greek literature and, although there are neither many translations of her works in foreign languages nor many theses or disser­ tations, she was chosen for the great interest for her works. Her books have been read by many generations, so she is considered a classical writer of Modern Greek Literature. The way she uses the Greek language, the unique characters of her heroes that make any child or adolescent identified with them, the understood organization of her material are only a few of the main characteristics and advantages of her texts. It is also of high importance the fact that her books can be read by adults, as they can provide human values, such as love, hope, enjoyment of life, the educational significance of playing, the innocence of the infancy, the adventurous adolescence, even the unemployment, the value of work and justice. Thus, the educative importance of her texts was the main reason for writing this article. As for the structure of the article, at first, it presents a brief biography of the writer.

Pappas Interdisciplinary March 2021 VOLUME 1 ISSUE NO. 3 Center for Hellenic Studies and the Friends of Hellenic Studies From the Director Dear Friends, On March 25, 1821, in the city of Kalamata in the southern Peloponnesos, the chieftains from the region of Mani convened the Messinian Senate of Kalamata to issue a revolutionary proclamation for “Liberty.” The commander Petrobey Mavromichalis then wrote the following appeal to the Americans: “Citizens of the United States of America!…Having formed the resolution to live or die for freedom, we are drawn toward you by a just sympathy; since it is in your land that Liberty has fixed her abode, and by you that she is prized as by our fathers.” He added, “It is for you, citizens of America, to crown this glory, in aiding us to purge Greece from the barbarians, who for four hundred years have polluted the soil.” The Greek revolutionaries understood themselves as part of a universal struggle for freedom. It is this universal struggle for freedom that the Pappas Center for Hellenic Studies and Stockton University raises up and celebrates on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the beginning of the Greek Revolution in 1821. The Pappas Center IN THIS ISSUE for Hellenic Studies and the Friends of Hellenic Studies have prepared this Special Edition of the Hellenic Voice for you to enjoy.

  • IX. Nationale Ansprüche, Konflikte Und Entwicklungen in Makedonien
    IX. Nationale Ansprüche, Konflikte und Entwicklungen in !akedonien, 1870–1912 Vasilis K. Gounaris 1. Vom bulgarischen Exarchat bis zur bulgarischen Autonomie Kraft des ersten Artikels des Firmans des Sultans vom 27. Februar (nach dem alten Kalender) 1870 wurde ohne Wissen des Patriarchats das bulgarische Exarchat gegründet. Von den 13 Kirchenprovinzen, die in seine Verantwortung übergingen, könnte man nur die Metropolis von Velesa rein formell als makedonisch bezeichnen. Doch gemäß dem zehnten Artikel des Firmans konnten auch andere Metropoleis dem Exarchat beitreten, wenn dies mindestens zwei Drittel ihrer Gemeindemitglieder wünschten. Dieser Firman gilt als die Geburtsurkunde der Makedonischen Frage, was jedoch nicht zutrifft. Die Voraussetzungen für die Entstehung feindlicher Parteien und die Nationalisierung dieser Gegensätze waren Produkt der poli- tischen, sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Umschichtungen, die der Erlass Hatt-i Humayun (Februar 1856) mit sich gebracht hatte. Dieser Erlass hatte zu Veränderungen des Grund- besitzsystems zu Gunsten der Christen geführt und die çifliks offiziell vererblich gemacht. Er hatte auch die Voraussetzungen für öffentliche Arbeiten und für eine Änderung des Steuer- und des Kreditsystems geschaffen. Und schließlich war, im Rahmen der Abfassung von Rechtskodizes, vom Patriarchat die Abfassung allgemeiner Verordnungen für die Verwaltung der Orthodoxen unter Mitwirkung von Laien verlangt worden. Die Fertigstellung und die Anwendung der Verordnungen führte nacheinander – schon in den Sechzigerjahren

  • Translitterering Och Alternativa Geografiska Namnformer
    TRANSLITTERERING OCH ALTERNATIVA GEOGRAFISKA NAMNFORMER Version XX, 27 juli 2015, Stefan Nordblom 1 FÖRORD För många utländska egennamn, i första hand personnamn och geografiska namn, finns det på svenska väl etablerade namnformer. Om det inte finns någon sådan kan utländska egennamn dock vålla bekymmer vid översättning till svenska. Föreliggande material är tänkt att vara till hjälp i sådana situationer och tar upp fall av translitterering1 och transkribering2 samt exonymer3 . Problemen uppstår främst på grund av att olika språk har olika system för translitterering och transkribering från ett visst språk och på grund av att orter kan ha olika namn på olika utländska språk. Eftersom vi oftast översätter från engelska och franska innehåller sammanställningen även translittereringar och exonymer på engelska och franska (samt tyska). Man kan alltså i detta material göra en sökning på sådana namnformer och komma fram till den svenska namnformen. Om man t.ex. i en engelsk text träffar på det geografiska namnet Constance kan man söka på det namnet här och då få reda på att staden (i detta fall på tyska och) på svenska kallas Konstanz. Den efterföljande sammanställningen bygger i huvudsak på följande källor: Institutet för de inhemska språken (FI): bl.a. skriften Svenska ortnamn i Finland - http://kaino.kotus.fi/svenskaortnamn/ Iate (EU-institutionernas termbank) Nationalencyklopedin Nationalencyklopedins kartor Interinstitutionella publikationshandboken - http://publications.europa.eu/code/sv/sv-000100.htm Språkbruk (Tidskrift utgiven av Svenska språkbyrån i Helsingfors) Språkrådet© (1996). Publikation med rekommendationer i term- och språkfrågor som utarbetas av rådets svenska översättningsenhet i samråd med övriga EU-institutioner. TT-språket - info.tt.se/tt-spraket/ I de fall uppgifterna i dessa källor inte överensstämmer med varandra har det i enskilda fall varit nödvändigt att väga, välja och sammanjämka namnförslagen, varvid rimlig symmetri har eftersträvats.

  • The Public Archives of Greece1
    The Public Archives of Greece1 By PETER TOPPING Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/15/3/249/2743236/aarc_15_3_21586r87n32m8j36.pdf by guest on 01 October 2021 University of California: Santa Barbara College HE establishment of a national archives system in Greece resulted from the initiative of a gifted amateur historian, TGiannes Vlachogiannes (1867-1945), and from the sympa- thetic support of the brilliant statesman, Eleftherios Venizelos, who, when he was out of office late in life, used his leisure to translate Thucydides. The General State Archives (Genika Archeia tou Kratous) began to function in Athens in temporary quarters in 1915, and Vlachogiannes, the first director, remained in charge un- til 1936. Despite a pitifully small budget and grossly inadequate space and staff, the General Archives has managed to collect and preserve a considerable quantity of historical papers, both public and private. The revolutionary governments of Greece and the administra- tion of Count Kapodistrias (1821-31) kept their accumulating pa- pers in excellent state. But during the reign of the first "King of the Hellenes," the Bavarian prince Otho (1832-62), while current records were preserved, the older archives were confided to the care of the Audit Department {Elengtikon Synedrion), which either neglected or dispersed them. Moreover, the mass of manuscripts and documents which Otho's government obtained from the many monasteries it dissolved suffered a like fate at the Ministry of Pub- lic Instruction, to whose care they had been entrusted. The gov- ernmental authorities during the long reign of George I (1863- 1913) were generally indifferent to the need of preserving past col- lections or establishing a national archives service.

  • How the Turks of the Peloponnese Were Exterminated During the Greek Rebellion
    HOW THE TURKS OF THE PELOPONNESE WERE EXTERMINATED DURING THE GREEK REBELLION SALÂH~~ R SONYEL Russo-Greek intrigues The peninsula of the Peloponnese (in southern Greece), which is also known as the Morea, was first partly conquered in 1397 CE by the Ottoman Sultan Beyazit I from the Byzantines, and was completely overrun in 1460 by Sultan Mehmet II, who was received as a deliverer by the Greek Orthodox Christian population, then suffering under the rule of the Roman Catholics'. In 1698 the Ottomans were complled to cede the Peloponnese to the Venetians, under the Treaty of Carlowitz, but in 1718 it was retroceded to the Ottoman Empire under the Treaty of Passarowitz2. According to the late Professor Dr. Douglas Dakin, who was an expert on the history of modern Greece: "This renewed Turkish rule the inhabitants found preferable to that of the Venetians; taxes were lighter; the adminisn-ation was less efficient and therefore less harsh; and the (Ottoman) infidel was much more tolerant than the Roman Catholic"3. The Ottomans established a province (pa~ahk) in the Peloponnese, the Greek population of which was about 400,000, gradually augmented by about 50,000 Turks and other Muslims. Despite the comfortable and easy life which the Greeks, especially those living in urban areas, led, they began to intrigue with the Russians during the reign of Tsar Peter the Mad. These intrigues, which aimed at the resurrection of the Byzantine Empire, continued under Empress Catherine II during whose reign Russian agents roamed the countryside in the Peloponnese, inciting the people to rebellion 4.
