Talk:Giorgos Seferis

Untitled
'the best translator of Lord Byron's poetry".

Into what language? Or into any language?

S.


 * Into Greek. Seferiadis sr. was Greek, after all. He was also known for translating Ancient Greek texts into demotic Greek (controversial at the time.)Safie

I'm working on expanding this article in parts, so there are currently some sentences still in note form. Any comments/ corrections will be appreciated! Safie 22:31, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

Note: 'Safari' does not come from the Turkish language but from the Arabic, meaning an expedition or a lengthy journey; it is also found in Swahili and is of similar meaning.

I'm puzzled by the mention of Larnaca in this sentence: "He immediately fell in love with the island of Cyprus, partly because of its resemblance, in its landscape, the mixture of populations, and in its traditions, to his childhood summer home in Larnaca." Is it a mistake, or was his childhood summer home in Asia Minor called Larnaca? --Pavlos Andronikos (talk) 13:52, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Family Origin

 * Do we know something where is origin of Seferis´ family? Does his fathers family came from Pontus or Cappadocia? Because his name is Anatolian. Thanks- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.151.217.147 (talk) 20:56, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
