- EPΩTOKPITOΣ [ero`tokritos] by Vincenzos Kornaros
Not very long ago, all cretans, in villages and cities could recite all this poetic theatre-drama by heart. Some of the elders, still do. Seferis has written a memorable introduction to the work. The language of EROTOKRITOS is mystifying, very idiosyncratic. I'd say it is impossible to translate. - MGSA Modern Greek Studies Association Information

- folk poetry of 15-18th century
It would be useful to point out here, that greek folk poems are mostly inseparable from their music, and dance. Only when I tried to dance and sing them I really enjoyed their beauty. Listening to them, or just reading them, is a passive attitude which is very alien to folk art. - folk poetry of 15-18th century
