PDF EPUB} a Tale Without a Name by Penelope Delta a Tale Without a Name by Penelope Delta Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} A Tale Without a Name by Penelope Delta A Tale Without a Name by Penelope Delta. Penelope Delta was born in Alexandria, Egypt, to Virginia Choremi and the wealthy cotton merchant Emmanuel Benakis. She was the third of six children, her two older siblings being Alexandra and Antonis Benakis, whose Tom Sawyer-like mischiefs she immortalized in her book Trellantonis; her younger siblings were Constantine, who died at the age of two, Alexander, and Argine. The Benaki family temporarily moved to Athens in 1882, where she later married a wealthy Phanariote entrepreneur, Stephanos Delta, with whom she had three daughters, Sophia Mavrogordatou, Virginia Zanna, and Alexandra Papadopoulou. They returned to Alexandria in 1905, where she met Ion Dragoumi, then the Vice-Consul of Greece in Alexandria. Dragoumi, like Penelope Delta, also wrote about the Macedonian Struggle and his personal recollections of it in his books. Penelope Delta formed a romantic relationship with him for some time. Out of respect for Delta and her children, Delta and Dragoumi decided to separate, but continued to correspond passionately until 1912, when Dragoumi started a relationship with the famous stage actress Marika Kotopouli. In the meantime Penelope had twice attempted suicide. In a letter from Delta to Dragoumis, who now belongs to the Benaki Museum of Greek Culture, she appears desperate. It is even said that from that time he had started suicidal tendencies. In a letter dated 27/7/1906, she wrote: “I’m staying for another year, I wrote it to you. If you want me then, if you do not change, Ion, if you want then, take me … And now if you wanted me, I could not tell you anymore no, now I do not know what is honor and oath • I know that in the world somewhere you live, that you still love me, that you can become me when I call you. I’m not calling you, but if you ever want me, you know where I am, I always wait for you and love you like Medea, you are the only dilemma that lives inside me with horrible intensity, everything else died, your love killed them! And I’m going to leave tonight, before my letter, not to talk to you anymore, not to write to you “I love you”, only to come there, to rush into your house, sink in your throat, and without a word, to drown your breath, kissing in your mouth, until you close your eyes and your head drops on my shoulder, pale and redeemed, half-mooted by emotion and pain and joy that kills. I know I’m crazy but love is crazy”.. Delta moved to Frankfurt, Germany in 1906 and her first novel Gia tin Patrida (For the Sake of the Fatherland) was published in 1909. The novel is set in Byzantine times, and Delta started corresponding with the historian Gustave Schlumberger, a renowned specialist on the Byzantine Empire. Their continued interaction provided the material for her second novel, Ton Kairo tou Voulgaroktonou (In the Years of the Bulgar-Slayer), set during the reign of the Emperor Basil II. The Goudi Pronunciamento in 1909 inspired her third novel, Paramythi Horis Onoma (A Tale with No Name), published in 1911. In 1913 the Deltas returned to Alexandria yet again, and then in 1916 she settled permanently in Athens, where her father, Emmanuel Benakis, had been elected Mayor. While there, they became close friends with Eleftherios Venizelos, whom they entertained regularly at their opulent mansion in the northern suburb of Kifisia. In 1925, she published the book The Life of Christ. The same year, she was diagnosed with polio. In 1927, she started writing the trilogy Romiopoules (Young Greek Girls), a thinly-veiled autobiography, which she did not finish until 1939. Set in Athens, the first part, To Xypnima (The Awakening) covers the events from 1895 to 1907, the second part H Lavra (The Heat) covers 1907 to 1909, and the final part, To Souroupo (The Dusk), covers 1914 to 1920. In the meantime she published her three major novels: Trellantonis (Crazy Anthony; 1932), which detailed her mischievous elder brother’s Antonis Benakis childhood adventures in late 19th century Alexandria, Mangas (1935), and Ta Mystika tou Valtou (The Secrets of the Swamp; 1937). During the last year of her life, and as her paralysis was advancing, she received the diaries and archives of her lost love, Ion Dragoumis, entrusted to her by his brother Philip. She managed to dictate 1000 pages of manuscripted comment on Dragoumis’ work, before deciding to take her own life. She committed suicide by taking poison on 27 April 1941, the day German troops entered Athens. She died after several days on 2 May 1941. At her request she was interred in the garden of the stately Delta mansion in Kifissia. On her grave, in the garden of her house, the word silence, was engraved. After her death, X. Lefkopatridis published the volume “The Correspondence of the Delta 1903-1940”, personal diaries of Delta, where prominent figures of politics, letters and sciences parade, and where the ideas and tendencies that characterize the Greek intelligence and politics. In 2012 her biography was published by Mitsi Pikramenou, titled The Lady in Black. In 2014, her last unpublished work “Romiopoules” was published by Hermes, which has been unpublished for 75 years. It was released with the care of the great-grandson Alex Zanna. Today, so many years after the death of the great writer, her books are read with the same love, as evidenced by their numerous re-releases. Penelope Delta’s books were left alive, surpassing the era when they were written and continue to earn young and older readers. A tale with a name: Penelope Delta. Once upon a time there lived a girl who was very rich and very sad. Her name was Penelope and she loved to write. She was writing incessantly in her diary. She wrote about what was going on in her own home, about her relations with her parents, her siblings, about her childhood memories, about her feelings. Penelope was a very sentimental person. She was easily hurt by injustice whether committed against her or against others. When she grew up she started to write books for children. In one of her books the protagonist is her brother, a lively, naughty boy called Anthony ("Crazy Anthony") who used to do all mischievous things imaginable. Yet in the eyes of his sister he was an admirable boy, honest and brave, who used to take responsibility for his actions even if this meant that he would be slapped by "aunt Virginia's chubby little hand". In another book Penelope recounts the adventures of the heroic "Mangas", a dog, who can't understand how cruel and silly humans are. Among all these people, Mangas loves most his little Lucas, a good and innocent boy. While wandering far from home, Mangas will meet "Afratos" (the fat one), a stoic stray whose name is a euphemism for his constant state of hunger and his thin body. Later, in another book entitled "The secrets of the swamp", Mangas will go to war, during the Macedonian Struggle. Penelope loved Greece and its history and wanted to teach it to the children who would read her books. And she was part of this history. She came to Greece from Egypt and was a friend of Venizelos, whom she adored. She was also a friend of Plastiras whom she esteemed as well. She met Ion Dragoumis and fell madly in love with him. As she was married to a kind man whom she never came to love, Penelope lived the love story with Dragoumis like a dream that turned into a nightmare. The society she lived in didn't allow for scandals to break. In her diaries we read how traumatic this unlawful relationship had been for her. Penelope and her husband had three daughters. All of them, like their mother, cared a lot for the community and their fellow men. They would follow her example even through their sadness for her illness and her suicide on the day the Germans occupied Athens. Yes, her daughters Sophia, Virginia and Alexandra followed the example she had set when in 1922 she would do everything she could in order to help refuges from the "Asia Minor Catastrophe", when thousands of Greeks had to flee from Smyrna and other greek cities in Turkey and escape the genocide. Penelope and her entire family, her father Emmanuel Benaki, her brother Anthony and other wealthy relatives, were benefactors of the greek state, offering not only their houses and their art collections which today make for the biggest part of the Benaki Museum in Athens but other buildings and important institutions in the suburb of Kifissia. The tale of Penelope's life didn't have a happy ending. However, another tale she wrote "A tale with no name", in which she recounts allegorically the adventures of Greece, has a happy ending as the son of king Thoughtless (who true to his name had squandered the treasures of the state on silly feasts), becomes now king and takes the name Considerate. Working hard and selecting carefully the few incorruptible ones that are left, he manages to turn again this miserable country into a great one. Penelope's books, all of the above plus the ones she wrote about the Greek Byzantine history ("For the sake of the fatherland" and "In the years of the Bulgar-Slayer") as well as "The life of Christ", are usually read by children but can be enjoyed by adults as well.

  • Educating the Whole Person? the Case of Athens College, 1940-1990
    Educating the whole person? The case of Athens College, 1940-1990 Polyanthi Giannakopoulou-Tsigkou Institute of Education, University of London A thesis submitted for the Degree of EdD September 2012 Abstract This thesis is a historical study of the growth and development of Athens College, a primary/secondary educational institution in Greece, during the period 1940-1990. Athens College, a private, non-profit institution, was founded in 1925 as a boys' school aiming to offer education for the whole person. The research explores critically the ways in which historical, political, socio-economic and cultural factors affected the evolution of Athens College during the period 1940-1990 and its impact on students' further studies and careers. This case study seeks to unfold aspects of education in a Greek school, and reach a better understanding of education and factors that affect it and interact with it. A mixed methods approach is used: document analysis, interviews with Athens College alumni and former teachers, analysis of student records providing data related to students' achievements, their family socio-economic 'origins' and their post-Athens College 'destinations'. The study focuses in particular on the learners at the School, and the kinds of learning that took place within this institution over half a century. Athens College, although under the control of a centralised educational system, has resisted the weaknesses of Greek schooling. Seeking to establish educational ideals associated with education of the whole person, excellence, meritocracy and equality of opportunity and embracing progressive curricula and pedagogies, it has been successful in taking its students towards university studies and careers.

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.

  • Ancient Greek Myth and Drama in Greek Cinema (1930–2012): an Overall Approach
    Konstantinos KyriaKos ANCIENT GREEK MYTH AND DRAMA IN GREEK CINEMA (1930–2012): AN OVERALL APPROACH Ι. Introduction he purpose of the present article is to outline the relationship between TGreek cinema and themes from Ancient Greek mythology, in a period stretching from 1930 to 2012. This discourse is initiated by examining mov- ies dated before WW II (Prometheus Bound, 1930, Dimitris Meravidis)1 till recent important ones such as Strella. A Woman’s Way (2009, Panos Ch. Koutras).2 Moreover, movies involving ancient drama adaptations are co-ex- amined with the ones referring to ancient mythology in general. This is due to a particularity of the perception of ancient drama by script writers and di- rectors of Greek cinema: in ancient tragedy and comedy film adaptations,3 ancient drama was typically employed as a source for myth. * I wish to express my gratitude to S. Tsitsiridis, A. Marinis and G. Sakallieros for their succinct remarks upon this article. 1. The ideologically interesting endeavours — expressed through filming the Delphic Cel- ebrations Prometheus Bound by Eva Palmer-Sikelianos and Angelos Sikelianos (1930, Dimitris Meravidis) and the Longus romance in Daphnis and Chloë (1931, Orestis Laskos) — belong to the origins of Greek cinema. What the viewers behold, in the first fiction film of the Greek Cinema (The Adventures of Villar, 1924, Joseph Hepp), is a wedding reception at the hill of Acropolis. Then, during the interwar period, film pro- duction comprises of documentaries depicting the “Celebrations of the Third Greek Civilisation”, romances from late antiquity (where the beauty of the lovers refers to An- cient Greek statues), and, finally, the first filmings of a theatrical performance, Del- phic Celebrations.

  • Mary Paraskeva, 1882-1951
    Mary Paraskeva, 1882-1951 Mary Paraskeva was born on the island of Mykonos in 1882. Her father, Nicolas Gripari, a scion of one of the oldest island families, owned a flourishing grain business based in Odessa, a cosmopolitan Black Sea city with a significant Greek population. The family owned the vast 12,000 hectare estate of Baranovka in the Volynia region of NW Ukraine (now Baranivka, in the oblast of Zhitomir). Apart from thousands of acres of valuable timberland, the estate enclosed a manor house which included the Τower of Maria Walewska, Napoleon’s Polish mistress, as well as the eponymous and then famous porcelain factory. We don’t know exactly when Mary Gripari, as she was then, developed an interest in photography, but it must have been at a relatively early age, most likely before she was twenty. According to family legend, she was first instructed in the use of a camera by her elder brother George. Her youth and adolescence were spent on her father’s estate, by that time a millionaire, consul of Greece and noble of the imperial Russian court. In 1903 she married Nicolas Paraskeva, a significantly older civil engineer living in Alexandria whom she accompanied to Egypt. There she became a part of the Greek and European society of Alexandria and met her lifelong friend Argine Salvagou, younger daughter of the Greek writer Penelope Delta. Delta, who never warmed to her, wrote in her memoirs: “That winter I met the ‘sorceress’, the newly married Mary Paraskeva. She read my palm and predicted that I would go through a spiritual crisis…”.

    The Greek Theatre in the United States from the End of the 19th Century to the 21st Century Katerina Diakoumopoulou* RÉSUMÉ Cet article couvre l’activité théâtrale des immigrants Grecs aux Etats-Unis à partir de la fin du dix-neuvième siècle jusqu’à nos jours. Il souligne l’histoire de beaucoup de troupes de théâtre qui avaient fait leur apparition dans les communautés grecques d’Amerique à la fin du dix-neuvième siècle et ont connu le succès jusqu’à un déclin marquant dans la seconde décennie du vingtième siècle, déclin précipité par l’enrôlement de beaucoup de jeunes immigrants Grecs dans les Guerres Balkaniques. Le développement théâtral impressionnant, qui s’en est suivi de 1920 à 1940, et après la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, est examiné en mettant l’accent sur une variété d’aspects tels que les nombreuses troupes, d’amateurs et de professionnels et leurs répertoires, thèmes, tendances, problèmes, influences politiques, enjeux sociaux, etc., nécessaires pour comprendre le rôle et l’impact que le théâtre grec a eu jusqu’à nos jours. L’auteur note que l’on observe deux tendances particulières depuis la Seconde Guerre Mondiale: les auteurs dramatiques Américains Grecs composent leurs œuvres principalement en anglais et beaucoup d’Américains d’origine grecque de la seconde génération participent à des troupes de théâtre grecques, tandis qu’un nombre d’acteurs de la première génération ayant longtemps servi dans le théâtre sont devenus des professionnels. ABSTRACT This article covers the theatre activity of the Greek immigrants in the USA from the end of the nineteenth century until today.

  • Of Greek Feminism
    Arms and the Woman Margaret Poulos Interwar Democratisation and the Rise of Equality: The 'First Wave' of Greek Feminism 3.1 Introduction After Parren's pioneering efforts in the late nineteenth century, a new feminism emerged in 1 Greece during the interwar years, which was greater in scale and whose primary focus was the extension of suffrage to women. As such it is often referred to as the 'first wave' of Greek feminism, in line with Anglo-American conceptions of feminist history.1 Interwar feminism emerged in the context of the 'Bourgeois Revolution' of Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos— the period of great socio-political and economic transformation between 1909 and 1935,2 during which the territorial gains of the Balkan Wars (1912–13), participation in the Great War, and the massive demographic changes following the catastrophic Asia Minor campaign of 1921–223 were amongst the events of greatest consequence. The ascendancy of liberal politician Eleftherios Venizelos reflected largely a subterranean transformation of the Greek social economy. The struggle for dominance between the increasingly powerful merchant classes or bourgeoisie and the traditional (mainly rural) social classes—represented by the aristocracy, landowners, the peasantry, and the clergy—intensified and culminated in the Revolution of 1909,4 which brought Venizelos to power. As the bourgeoisie's most significant advocate, Venizelos ushered in a new political paradigm in his efforts to create the institutions indispensable to a modern republic, in the place of the traditional system of absolute clientelism that had prevailed since Independence. Amongst his important contributions were legislative reforms and the establishment of institutions that supported the growth of the fledgling industrial economy.

  • 14 the Language Question and the Diaspora*
    14 The Language Question and the Diaspora* Karen Van Dyck The national perspective on the language question The issue of language has a privileged place in Greek intellectual discourse. In America the race question has been at the forefront of political discussions over the past century and a half; Italy has its Southern Question; in Greece it is the Language Question (to glossiko zitima), that has generated an analogous amount of pages and debate. Since the eighteenth century, well before independence, Greek intellectuals, school teachers, and priests have fought over which variety of the Greek language should be the official one: demotic, the language ‘of the people’, or katharevousa, a purist language that reintroduced elements of ancient Greek in order to ‘clean up’, or ‘purify’, spoken Greek, a language supposedly contaminated by centuries of Roman, Frankish, and Turkish rule. Which register of Greek a Greek spoke – and, even more importantly, wrote – was central to what it meant to be Greek. As scholars have amply shown, the language question and the particular problem of diglossia – in the Greek case the existence of two competing varieties of the language – have been enmeshed with the major developments and cultural struggles in modern Greek history from the nation’s inception to the present, as has been discussed by Peter Mackridge in chapter 13.1 Here I propose to shift the focus from the national to a diasporic perspective on the Language Question. I begin by rehearsing the familiar story of language reform * I am grateful to Roderick Beaton, Stathis Gourgouris, Nelson Moe, David Ricks, Dorothea von Mücke, and Clair Wills for their helpful comments, and especially to Peter Mackridge without whose knowledge and generosity this chapter would not have been written.
