Description:Excerpt from Folk-Lore of Modern Greece: The Tales of the People: The following Fairy Tales are translated, with the exception of the first three, the originals of which are contained in the Parnasses, a journal published by the Philological Society of that name in Athens, from the Greek text, edited by J. Pio at Copenhagen, under the title: Contes Populaires Grecs publies d'apres les Manuscrits du Dr. J. G. de Hahn, 1879. Von Hahn himself, the author of Albanesische Studien, Jena, 1854, and Griechische and albanesische Marchen Leipzig, 1864, having lived from his youth in various parts of Greece, had employed native amanuenses to write down, by word of mouth, the several stories which formed the basis of his German version, as they fell from the lips of their narrators. Some of these were subsequently revised by Professor Mavrophrydes, of Athens, the rest after his death by M. Pio, the editor of the Greek text already mentioned. Of many of the tales the latter found duplicate versions among, the posthumous Mss. of Von Hahn, and, by the collation of these, he succeeded in producing a text which, while it leaves, much to be desired from a purely philological point of view, is evidently, as the mere style of the recital sufficiently attests, a far closer approximation to genuine oral tradition than is mostly the case with collections of popular legends.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
