The translator

One translator, one shelf of classics at a time.

Greek literature in English usually stops with the ancients and jumps to Kazantzakis and Cavafy. These books fill the gap: the great nineteenth-century prose writers of the islands and the mountains, the poets of the new nation, and the ancient classics as modern Greeks read them.

AI-assisted translation, prepared and edited by Valentin Sarić. The modern works are translated from the original Greek. The ancient plays and epics are translated from the modern Greek versions made around 1900–1920 by Greek poets and scholars. AI-assisted translations, still awaiting full human editorial review.
