However, this Greek community recognises the legacy of the Greek merchant diaspora of the 18th and 19th centuries, which played a decisive role in the modernisation of Hungary as its own heritage. Therefore, I will briefly describe what this heritage consists of and how contemporary Greeks relate to it. I will then review the history of the resettlement of Greek political refugees in Hungary, with a particular focus on Greek children who arrived in Hungary without parental care. I will present their forced departure from Greece, their arrival in Hungary, their settlement, and their integration, partly based on archival materials and mainly on life history interviews.

Relevant to the latter is the fact that Solomos often proceeds in translating the French passages he reproduces into Italian, without necessarily the context revealing the existence of the French original. More specifically, in recording the notes-citations, Solomos exhausts both the monolingual option of copying (French) and the interlingual possibilities of translating word for word into Italian or of faithfully rendering it in a mixed language (French-Italian). The target of this paper is to compare the Italian translations to the French original texts, aiming on the one hand to identify any discrepancies in Solomos's translation options, and on the other, to examine Solomos's interlingual, if not translingual, process of translating as well as the phenomena of code switching and cross-linguistic influence resulting from it.

In this poem, Empeirikos portrays an "epiphany of the past recaptured", which is experienced by Ishmael, the narrator of both Melville's and Empeirikos' works. Through his deep connection with the ocean and the world around him, Ishmael, Empeirikos' poetic persona, recaptures the emotional richness inspired by the sight of a re-enchanted world and seeks to glorify the white whale. This pursuit involves a rejection of materialism and an embrace of a visionary and idealised surreal world embodied by the white whale - a symbol of a New Jerusalem.

First, it provides a brief outline of the main types of Greek compounds according to the underlying syntactic relations between the immediate constituents, referring to the related notion of 'syntagma' (Section 1). Then, it deals with the phonological and morphosyntactic criteria that distinguish compounds from syntactic groups (Section 2). The subsequent section addresses the stress patterns of compounds (Section 3). The final section gives a description of the compounds based on i. the morphemic status of the immediate constituents, namely whether they are free or bound elements, ii. the linear order of the determinatum (dm) and determinant (dt) inside the combination, and iii. the lexical class of the compound as a whole, and equally the class of the compound components (Section 4).

It first briefly compares the book markets in both countries and subsequently analyses the content of the bibliography from the following angles: The existent translations are projected onto a timeline with a historical explanation of the resulting pattern. An overall commentary is given on the publishers involved in producing these translations, the source languages with which the translators worked and the subsequent editions and new translations that have appeared in Greece. The final chapter presents the most significant translations and the possible motivation for their creation, the most translated authors and the most active or otherwise important translators.
