Talk:Hymn to Liberty

message: the greek national anthem is the largest in the world with 158 stanzas-i thing that is a to serious thing not to writen here-
That is not technically correct; only the first two stanzas are part of the national anthem, as the article correctly states.67.193.243.184 (talk) 21:10, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: the largest in the world

message: Shouldn't ύμνος be translated as Ode instead of Hymn? The English hymn refers mostly to religious music. Ode is much better suited. The poetic transation provided in this page also gives ύμνος as ode. See for example,
Solomos, Dionysios. Ode to Liberty. George D. Canale, tr. into both prose and verse with a biographical sketch of the poet and notes. Zante: Constantine Rossolimo Publisher, 1861. 13 p. Bilingual edition.
I suggest the title to be changed to ode.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.5.241.167 (talk) 10:18, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

message: It does not make sense to transcribe a modern Greek text in a way as if it were a text in classical ancient Greek from the time of Plato. The poem is written in Modern Greek. Fot the pronunciation of Greek, see Greek language#Phonology.  Andreas 02:46, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

message: The traditional english rendering of the title is "Hymn to Liberty". Note that all 3 translations given in english render "Ελευθεριά" as "Liberty". Αccordingly, I propose that the name of the article be changed to follow this convention. Any objections? sys < in 21:12, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I don't strongly object, but it seems "Hymn to Freedom" is the more common and more official translation.  It's used by, for example, the Greek Presidency and the UK's Guardian newspaper.  If we google-search for each term with +greece -wikipedia, the freedom version gets about four times as many hits. But I don't care much either way, since the two translations are about equally good/bad. --Delirium 05:06, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Liberty or Freedom 

message: Since 1982 the monotonic is the only official writing system in Greece, and from then on most editions of Solomos' works are written in this system. What is shownthis reference is a image from the first edition (Mesolonghi, 1823) and in no sense is an official document or, anyway, a more official one than the law abolishing the polytonic system. As about the way Solomos wrote it, the official web site of the Solomos Museum offers a copy of two pages of the original manuscript which show that he wrote it both without mostly any tones and with some orthographic errors. It was first published in polytonic system and with katharevousian orthography because it was the system in force then, regardless the way Solomos wrote it first.

message: In the literal translation I found a mistake, which of course I corrected. Someone had written "fearsome sword". The word "fearsome" reffers to the sharpness of the sword, not the sword itself. "Sharpness" in Greek is female and "sword" is neutral. "Fearsome is an adjective which in this text is female, hence it's obvious which word it reffers to. Take my word for it. I sing that anthem on every national holiday.

[In 1865, the first three stanzas (and later the first two) officially became the national anthem of Greece...]
No reference cited. Got a year for “later”?
