Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1897 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VI. CRETAN SONGS AND LEGENDS. The popular songs of Greece, in which the Greek nationality through many centuries of oppression has still preserved itself, may be divided into several classes. I. Historical. Some of these go back as far as the tenth century, and deal with the heroic deeds of the Akrita, or frontier-soldiers of the Byzantine Empire: the scene is usually laid in Asia Minor, or Mount Taurus. It is not, however, until the second half of the eighteenth century that they become numerous. The Cretan Revolution of 1770, brought about by the ambition of the Empress Catherine of Russia, was the origin of a number of songs, which are practically the only historical documents extant concerning the heroic struggles of that period on the island. Amongst them are The Entry of the Turks into Sphakia, and Daskaloyiannes (Master John) of Sphakia. II. Religions. These comprise songs relating to the Church festivals, the Virgin Mary, the angels and saints, and, amongst the latter, St. George in particular, one of the most venerated saints in the Greek Church; songs relating to various events connected with the life of Christ. III. Romantic. These deal with the exploits of the Klephts (brigands), and romantic adventures generally. IV. Myrologia, or funeral songs, of which there is a very large nnmber. V. Love Songs and Erotic distichs, the latter almost exclusively confined to celebrating the charms of the lady. She is sometimes a rose, a pink, a pomegranate, an apple-tree loaded with fruit. When she passes along the street, it is filled with roses; she is as white as the snow on the mountains, her head is a vessel of silver, her hair threads of silk, her eyes blue as sapphires or black as the Athenian olive, her mouth a half-open...

Book Synopsis A History of Crete by : Chris Moorey
Download or read book A History of Crete written by Chris Moorey and published by Haus Publishing. This book was released on 2020-08-15 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thousands of years, Crete has been of paramount strategic importance, thanks to its location close to the junction of three continents and the heart of the eastern Mediterranean. It’s perhaps not surprising, therefore, that when they ruled Crete, the Greeks called it “Megalónisos” or the “Great Island.” Yet the island has been ruled for much of its history by foreign invaders—including Mycenaeans, Dorians, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Venetians, Ottoman Turks, and, briefly, the Third Reich. In A History of Crete, Chris Moorey explores the history of the Great Island from mythological Crete until today and sheds light on how the Cretans themselves have interacted with their conquerors. A History of Crete portrays the Cretans as fierce lovers of freedom who worked around and with the influence of foreign rule on their culture. In an engaging and lively style, Moorey emphasizes and contrasts two periods at either end of these three thousand years of domination: the dazzling apogee of the Minoan civilization from the Bronze Age, representing the first advanced civilization in Europe, and the brief period of autonomy before union with Greece at the beginning of the twentieth century. A History of Crete shows how the history of the contested island affected its people and made them to the Cretans of today.

Book Synopsis A History of Crete by : Chris Moorey
Download or read book A History of Crete written by Chris Moorey and published by Haus Publishing. This book was released on 2020-08-15 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known by the Greeks as ‘Megalónisos,’ or the ‘Great Island,’ the island of Crete has a long and varied history. Steeped in historical and cultural heritage, Crete is the most visited of the Greek islands. It has also been of paramount strategic importance for thousands of years, thanks to its location close to the junction of three continents and at the heart of the eastern Mediterranean Sea. For much of its long history, the island has been ruled by foreign invaders. Under the rule of the Mycenaeans, Dorians, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Venetians, Ottoman Turks and, briefly, the Third Reich, Cretans, who are fierce lovers of freedom, have adapted to living with their conquerors and to the influence of foreign rule on their culture. In a dazzling contrast to these three thousand years of domination, we see two periods of the island’s independence: the vibrant apogee of the Minoan civilization and the brief period of autonomy before union with Greece at the beginning of the twentieth century. To guide us through this spectacular history, Chris Moorey, who has lived in Crete for over twenty years, provides an engaging and lively account of the island spanning from the Stone Age to the present day. A History of Crete steps in to fill a gap in scholarship on this fascinating island, providing the first complete history of Crete to be published for over twenty years, and the first ever that is written with a wide readership in mind.
