This paper aims to focus on the critical opinions on literature and literary translation expressed by Ioannis Donas Paschalis (1761-1839), a Corfiot doctor, in his book form apologetic epistle addressing Abbot Giuseppe Compagnoni. Donas Paschali's epistle, released under the alias of Marchese Francesco Albergatto Capacelli in Venice (1793) and then translated ‒most probably not by his writer‒ into Modern Greek (1802), participates in a double tradition. It is not only part of the apologiae that sprung after the publication of Compagnoni's paradoxical (in the context of this specific period) argument on the superiority of Jewish people over the Greeks (1792), but it also forms part of the narratives dealing with the cultural life and achievements of Modern Greeks. In the context of my doctoral research, aiming to result in a proposal for the first period of Modern Greek literary criticism, the most distinctive feature of Donas Paschali's narrative is the extensive review of Modern Greek literature and his subtlest (and comparatively informed) remarks on specific oeuvres, such as the masterpieces of Cretan Renaissance. Moreover the writer has developed a cohesive and robust theory on the Cratylic [organic] nature of poetry, presented through his exemplary translations of poems or verses by Homer, Petrarch and Tasso in comparison to their Italian translations and/or the original.
Anthology of ancient Greek authors (in Greek). Athens: Giourdas
An introduction to ancient Greek philosophers and litterateurs2006 •
The anthology of ancient Greek texts that you have in your hands is a useful guide for your access to the intellectual works of the Attic period of Greek literature, since it suggests subjects of study, which can be studied as such in depth, but also in parallel with the other thematographies and with the best-known texts of the time and it is possible to serve both informatively and critically. It expands your knowledge of the Attic orators, historians and philosophers of the period, and your familiarity with the Attic dialect of the ancient Greek language, with a range of new words and etymological information. You can use it in your lesson to cultivate students' self-activity, their ability to judge and evaluate educational goods, develop their aesthetic literacy and good supervision of the length, size and weight of their written works of the Attic period, in the genres of rhetoric, philosophy and historiography. The structure of the anthology allows you to make your approach flexible, depending on each text and author. You can, therefore, give small factual introductions, concerning the meaning, the cultural and ideological elements, and the motivations of the persons. Very important is the overview regarding the synchronic connections between the various texts, but also the timeless significance and interpretation of their content. However, each text is a whole of its own meaning and the reception of the ideas and information it offers is possible by focusing on its structure and content. We examine both the elements of form and the individual linguistic elements, in the function that exists between them. Editorial comments reveal the entire structure of the text, focus on its content, and reveal the author's temperament.
The aim of this study is to present a survey of the main thoughts, ideas and action of Rigas Feraios or Velenstinlis and Adamantios Korais, two prominent figures of the Greek Enlightement, as well as their contribution to the awakening of the Greek subjects of the Ottoman Empire and the outbreak of the Greek Revolution.
