Ekdotikos Oichos Patris E.P.E., Athens, 1960; 8vo (7" x 9 3/4"), 520 pages; illustrated. Landmark translation of Thucydides’ fifth century B.C. History, from the original Classic Greek into Modern Greek, by eminent Greek scholar and statesman Eleutherios Venizelos, seven times Prime Minister of Greece, who was instrumental in the formation of the modern Greek State. Painstakingly written over a period of seven years, Venizelos’ translation is noted, among other aspects, for his use of katharevousa, a modern Greek style closer to classic Greek than the demotic vernacular, in order to correct later accretions and bring the language closer to that of Thucydides’ original. Copious commentary and analysis by Venizelos, plus substantive prefaces by Stefanos I. Stephanou, Dimitrios Kaklamanos, Andreas Mikalopotaos and Konstantin D. Stergiopoulos. Illustrated with frontispiece Venizelos portrait plate, five color fold-out maps, six full-page b&w photo plates of various associated Greek… Leer más
