Erotokritos (also Digenis Akrites) published in Ukrainian translation

by Dia Philippides

Two recent publications of early modern Greek literary works in Ukrainian translation: 1. “Erotokrit” https://veselka.in.ua/shop/vik/serednogo-shkilnogo-viku/erotokrit/ ISBN 978-966-01-0459-4 163 p. The book sells for 220 UAH (equivalent to ca. 7,09 euros). Please see the bottom of this message for info on placing orders. “Erotokrit”, a Ukrainian translation of Vitsentzos Kornaros’ romance *Erotokritos *(from the period of the Cretan Renaissance, ca. AD 1600), is now available from Veselka Publishers. The book contains the translation by Vasil Stepanenko and illustrations by Mykola Pshinka. The translation includes 5,000 verses (i.e. ca. half) of the original text in the same poetic form as the Cretan original (15-syllable rhyming couplets); the remaining verses have been included in the form of intervening narration. Vasil Stepanenko’s translation was subsequently republished in a second, expanded edition (also 2016), but that format (containing 6,000 verses) is intended for distribution (by the Ukrainian government) only to local libraries, schools and universities. Should new financial support be forthcoming, the translator would like to prepare a complete translation of *Erotokritos*. The translator received the Medal of the Ukrainian State (2017) for his intellectual activities and his translations. The translation “Erotokrit” draws on several Greek editions: α) «Ερωτόκριτος». Εκδόσεις ΑΔΑΜ (1998), Επιμέλεια Δημήτρη ΔΕΛΗΓΙΑΝΝΗ. β) «ΕΡΩΤΟΚΡΙΤΟΣ», Εκδόσεις ΕΡΜΗΣ (2010), Επιμέλεια Γιώργου ΣΑΒΒΙΔΗ. γ) «ΕΡΩΤΟΚΡΙΤΟΣ», Εκδόσεις ΕΣΤΙΑ (2013), Επιμέλεια Στυλιανού ΑΛΕΞΙΟΥ. For a related interview with the translator in the *Kathimerini* (2016), see: http://www.kathimerini.gr/878027/article/proswpa/synentey3eis/vasili-stepan… The translator thanks Gerasimos-Nikolaos Bougas for the moral and financial support that he has provided throughout the entire project. To purchase the Ukrainian translation “Erotokrit”, please address your request to: Vasil Stepanenko (email: stepanenkovi(a)ukr.net) or to Gerasimos-Nikolaos Bougas (email: g.n.bougas(a)gmail.com). Requests will be promptly executed. *2. Addendum*: Ukrainian translation of *Digenis Akrites* available (2018) Дигеніс Акрит. Середньогрецький епос https://www.yakaboo.ua/ua/digenis-akrit-seredn-ogrec-kij-epos.html ISBN 978-966-569-324-6 Vasil Stepanenko has (also) translated the early modern Greek romance *Digenis Akrites* (ca. AD 1200) into Ukrainian. A dual-language edition (Greek-Ukrainian) is forthcoming in 2019.
