The writers whose stories have been selected for this volume of translations, Polylas, Bizyenos, and Papadiamantes are dead; all the others are living. Without exception, they have cultivated other forms of literary expression beside the short story. Most of them are leading figures in the literary world of Modern Greece. It is worthy of note that the writers of the Sin of My Mother and of The Frightened Soul come from Thrace, the original home of the cult of Dionysus and of the Drama, which after almost five hundred years of Turkish misrule is to return to Greece again. Chrono logically, Polylas' Forgiveness is the oldest story in the collection; the most recent is The Frightened Soul, which appeared in the pages of a Greek magazine in Constantinople, started after the occupation of the city by the Allies in 1918.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Greek Stories: Third Reader Grade Perhaps no other stories have ever been told so often or listened to with so much pleasure as the classic tales of ancient Greece. For many ages they have been a source of delight to young people and old, to the ignorant and the learned, to all who love to hear about and contemplate things mysterious, beautiful, and grand. They have become so incorporated into our language and thought, and so interwoven with our literature, that we could not do away with them now if we would. They are a portion of our heritage from the distant past, and they form perhaps as important a part of our intellectual life as they did of that of the people among whom they originated.

Book excerpt: A highly readable and beautifully illustrated re-telling of the most famous stories from Greek mythology. The Greek Myths contains some of the most thrilling, romantic, and unforgettable stories in all human history. From Achilles rampant on the fields of Troy, to the gods at sport on Mount Olympus; from Icarus flying too close to the sun, to the superhuman feats of Heracles, Theseus, and the wily Odysseus, these timeless tales exert an eternal fascination and inspiration that have endured for millennia and influenced cultures from ancient to modern. Beginning at the dawn of human civilization, when the Titan Prometheus stole fire from Zeus and offered mankind hope, the reader is immediately immersed in the majestic, magical, and mythical world of the Greek gods and heroes. As the tales unfold, renowned classicist Robin Waterfield, joined by his wife, writer Kathryn Waterfield, creates a sweeping panorama of the romance, intrigues, heroism, humour, sensuality, and brutality of the Greek myths and legends. The terrible curse that plagued the royal houses of Mycenae and Thebes, Jason and the golden fleece, Perseus and the dread Gorgon, the wooden horse and the sack of Troy--these amazing stories have influenced art and literature from the Iron Age to the present day. And far from being just a treasure trove of amazing tales, The Greek Myths is a catalogue of Greek myth in art through the ages, and a notable work of literature in its own right.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Greek Folklore and Ancient Greek Religion: A Study in Survivals The scheme of work originally proposed was the investigation of the customs and superstitions of modern Greece in their possible bearing upon the life and thought of ancient Greece; and to the Managers of the Craven Fund at that time, with whom was associated Mr R. A. Neil of Pembroke College to whose memory I have dedicated this book, I render hearty thanks for their willingness to encourage a venture new in direction, vague in scope, and possibly void of result. The course of research proposed was one which required as the first condition of any success considerable readiness in speaking and understanding the popular language, and to the attainment of this my first few months were necessarily devoted. When once the ear has become accustomed to the modern pronunciation, a knowledge of ancient Greek makes for rapid progress; and some three or four months spent chieﬂy in the cafe's of small provincial towns rendered me fairly proficient in ordinary conversation. Subsequent practice enabled me also to follow conversations not intended for my ear; and on more than one occasion I obtained from the talk of peasants thus overheard information which they might have been chary of imparting to a stranger.

Ten years ago I stated in my book The Modern Greek Language in its relation to Ancient Greek (published by the Clarendon Press, Oxford, in that Modern Greek is nothing but Ancient Greek made easy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Greek Mastery: A Short Road to Ancient Greek This is not so impossible as those who are familiar only with old-school routine are wont to imagine. Latin is so learned in Catholic seminaries throughout the world, and the result is seen in the practical knowledge of the language which the clergy of that church possess. The study of languages, ancient or modern, is still too much a matter of the eye and too little one of the ear or tongue. The ability to trans late, or even to appreciate the ideas expressed on the printed page without translating, does not constitute knowledge of a language, any more than familiarity with medical terminology makes a physician. True knowledge of a language comes from the mastery of the idiom by ear and tongue and eye, and does not consist in its cognition by the latter alone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook to Modern Greek IT has always appeared to me a great mistake, and one of which our British Hellenists have good reason to be ashamed, that Greek in this country is always talked about as if it were a dead language, and Modern Greek, if mentioned at all, thrown aside as a patois, an acquaintance with which would rather hinder than advance the student in his mastery of the great classical tongue. This notion is both philo logically false and practically pernicious. Modern Greek is not a patois, a mongrel, hybrid, or degraded dialect in any legitimate sense of the word: it is the same language in which St. Paul delivered his discourse to the Athenians from the hill of Mars in the first century, with only such slight variations as the course of time naturally brings with it in the case of all spoken languages which have enjoyed an unbroken continuity of cultivated usage. N o doubt there do exist in Greece, and always have existed, certain local perversions of the cultivated speech, which may in a loose sense he called patois; just as we have a peculiar local type of English in Dorsetshire, another in Lancashire, and that.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Golden Fleece: More Old Greek Stories To the lad Cretheus, the youngest of the sons of olus, all this seemed unbearable. He missed the friends of former days. He missed their loving service. He shrank before the cold' looks and harsh words that greeted him day by day. At length he said to his brother the king: I have no longer a home. I would rather go out into the great woods and live with the wild things there than dwell in this cheerless place. The face of Athamas grew black with anger, and he answered: Begone, and be it so! Go, live With the wild things, and let not to-morrow's sun see you Within the city walls. The young prince had no mind to disobey. At the break Of day he set out, to journey he knew not whither. With a stout stick in his hand and his father's sword by his side, he went forth to seek his fortune among strangers. Yet no fear had he of the end, for in those early days no man nor boy knew What fear was. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: From the creator of Myths Retold comes a hilarious collection of Greek, Norse, Chinese and even Sumerian myths retold in their purest, bawdiest forms! All our lives, we’ve been fed watered-down, PC versions of the classic myths. In reality, mythology is more screwed up than a schizophrenic shaman doing hits of unidentified…wait, it all makes sense now. In Zeus Grants Stupid Wishes, Cory O’Brien, creator of Myths RETOLD!, sets the stories straight. These are rude, crude, totally sacred texts told the way they were meant to be told: loudly, and with lots of four-letter words. Did you know? Cronus liked to eat babies. Narcissus probably should have just learned to masturbate. Odin got construction discounts with bestiality. Isis had bad taste in jewelry. Ganesh was the very definition of an unplanned pregnancy. And Abraham was totally cool about stabbing his kid in the face. Still skeptical? Here are a few more gems to consider: • Zeus once stuffed an unborn fetus inside his thigh to save its life after he exploded its mother by being too good in bed. • The entire Egyptian universe was saved because Sekhmet just got too hammered to keep murdering everyone. • The Hindu universe is run by a married couple who only stop murdering in order to throw sweet dance parties…on the corpses of their enemies. • The Norse goddess Freyja once consented to a four-dwarf gangbang in exchange for one shiny necklace. And there’s more dysfunctional goodness where that came from.

It is one of the few books dealing with their own peasant life that the Greeks of to-day have given us. With material so plenti ful, and of such interest not only for themselves but for all who love Greece, we can only wonder and regret that there are so few books of the kind. One or two of the sketches in the original work have been omitted, and their place has been taken by three others given at the end, dealing with the days of the War of Independence. These have not yet been published, and have been trans lated from the author's manuscript. If among those that have been retained some are but slight, there is none but throws light upon the life and customs of the Greek peasant.
