Le phenomene de mode litteraire inaugure par la publication du roman d’Eugene Sue Les Mysteres de Paris en 1842-3, a souvent ete analyse par le recours a la notion de « litterature populaire » qui, dans la majorite des cas, se rapporte davantage a une poetique textuelle particuliere qu’a une realite sociale: les innombrables « mysteres » ecrits en imitation de ceux de Sue seraient « populaires » parce qu’ils appartiendraient a la « paralitterature », cet ensemble d’oeuvres considere comme ayant une moindre valeur esthetique et dont les auteurs auraient abandonne la quete d’originalite en choisissant une ecriture fondee sur la reprise et le remaniement de divers cliches narratifs. Or qu’en est-il de la « popularite » des mysteres au sens strictement sociologique du terme ? Cet article propose d’etudier les lectorats des mysteres dans trois pays qui ne connaissent pas les memes evolutions dans leurs systemes editoriaux respectifs : la France, la Grece et la Grande-Bretagne. Nous essaierons de montrer que les mysteres en tant que genre litteraire perenne ne peuvent en aucun cas etre etudies a partir d’une hypothese sociologique unique. Ni proprement « bourgeois » ni « populaires », ils epousent les evolutions complexes des contextes socio-culturels des differents pays en s’adaptant avec souplesse a leurs specificites ainsi qu’aux diverses situations de communication.

The contribution of Italian art, especially Venetian, was decisive to the secularisation of art in the Ionian Islands and the shaping of the so-called Ionian School, in the context of a broader Western influence affecting all aspects of life and culture, especially on the islands of Zakynthos and Corfu. Italian influences, mainly of Renaissance, Mannerism and Baroque art, can be identified both on the iconographic and the stylistic level of artworks, with theoretical support. This article explores facets of the dialogue of secular painting in the Ionian with Italian art in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, focussing on works and artists that highlight significant aspects of this multilayered phenomenon and also through secondary channels that expand the horizon of analysis. Procession paintings, with their various connotations, and portraiture, which flourished in secular Ionian art, offer the most interesting material as regards the selection, reception and management of Italian models and points of reference.

The complex historical reality of the Adriatic region, an area located even today on the borderline between East and West, is reflected in the works of religious painting and in the painters’ geographical movements. The art of Orthodox regions was mainly influenced by Venice, but also by the rest of Italy, and, as a result, a unique art emerged in the Ionian Islands, which remained under Venetian control until the end of the eighteenth century. In the course of the eighteenth century, political and economic conditions contributed to the growth of the Orthodox communities in Italy. Their members were interested in the art of the country where they lived and prospered, but they simultaneously wished to preserve the “pittura romeica” in the decorations of churches and in the icons used for their personal worship. From Naples to the cosmopolitan Trieste, Orthodox painters, coming mainly from the Ionian Islands, produced artworks which were adapted to the new surroundings, thereby making the Adriatic region once again a privileged area for cultural exchanges.

The present volume is the reworked text of the 2013 Annual C. Th. Dimaras Lecture given at the National Hellenic Research Foundation by Anthony Molho on the interplay of the historiographical triptych of dissent/ discipline/dissimulation. In particular, the book deals with the theme of dissimulation that the author developed in the narrative of the lecture, giving first its definition and then configuring it as a spread of European practice. He analyses its forms through the exposition of six case studies and concludes with several considerations on the ethic nature of dissimulation in a mass society in which privacy seems to have lost its value.

This article concerns the Greek fauna of classical and late antiquity and changes up to the present day. The main sources for the fauna of antiquity are historical, geographical and zoological texts, as well as descriptions from travellers who visited Greece. The study of the texts of classical and late antiquity was based on the following classical authors: Xenophon, Aristotle, Aristophanes Byzantios, Pliny, Dio Chrysostom, Plutarch, Pausanias and Aelian. Some species that were present in the Greek fauna of classical and late antiquity, such as the lion and the leopard, are today extinct in Greece, whereas some other species that are now common, such as the cat, the chicken and the peacock, were introduced about that time or a little earlier from other regions. Some other species that are also common today, such as the wild rabbit and the pheasant, were unknown at that time, as they appeared later in Greece from other areas.
