Abstract

Alexandros Papadiamantis (1851-1911), considered the best Greek writer of his time, wrote mainly short stories and some novels, among which the best known is ? ??????? (The Murderess). His works are written in the form of Modern Greek called ???????????, «purist», artificially cultured and archaic, typical of the prose in that time, as opposed to ????????, demotic, which eventually prevailed at all levels; the confrontation between the advocates of these language forms is called ???????? ??????, «Greek language question»; the controversy that accompanied the intratranslation of some Papadiamandis’ works to demotic Greek, made along the last decades, can be seen as a sequel of this «language question». This paper aims to explain this whole situation, and the motivations and criteria for such intratranslation.
