Demetrios Bernardakis ((ギリシア語:Δημήτριος Βερναρδάκης), ''Dimitrios Vernardakis'', also transliterated ''Dimitrios Bernardakis'', Mytilene 3 December 1833〔εφ. Εμπρός, 13/1/1907, σελ.2.〕—25 January 1907〔http://books.google.gr/books?id=3I9iAAAAMAAJ&q=βερναρδάκης+1907&dq=βερναρδάκης+1907&hl=el&sa=X&ei=4WLbUcWuBozMOJr6gOgM&ved=0CC8Q6AEwAA〕) was a polymath writer and Professor of History at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. == Biographical sketch == He was born at Agia Marina, Lesbos (just south of Mytilene).〔(Βερναρδάκης Δημήτριος ), ΕΚΕΒΙ〕 His father was Nikolaos Vernardakis, originally from Crete, while his mother was Melissini, of the Trantalis family.〔(Εφημερίδα Δημοκράτης ), 19 Νοεμβρίου 2008〕 His brothers were the learned Athanasios Bernardakis and Gregorios Bernardakis.〔 He studied on a scholarship given to him by Patriarch Alexandros Kallinikos from present-day Skotina, Pieria. A prolific writer, he translated and annotated the tragedies of Euripides (''The Phoenician Women, Hecuba, Hippolytus'', and ''Medea)'', but he became known chiefly for the sake of his own versified dramas, with which he wanted to create a romantic Greek theatre, taking as his example Shakespeare, Greek mythology, and Greek history. Indeed, it is held that he is among the most important figures in historical drama in Greece. His works had great success in his own era, but were quickly forgotten, chiefly by reason of their archaizing language. His university career ended on 27 August 1869 when Bernardakis was compelled to resign by reason of continuuing student reactions (the so-called ''Vernardakeia''), which he attributed to collusion with his university rivals and their political power at the time. His brother, Athansios Bernardakis, nominated Demetrios twice — in 1904〔(The Nomination Database for the Nobel Prize in Literature, 1901-1950 ), nobelprize.org〕 and 1905〔(The Nomination Database for the Nobel Prize in Literature, 1901-1950 ), nobelprize.org〕 — for the Nobel Prize in Literature. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Demetrios Bernardakis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
