This is an automatically translated description

We are pleased to offer our readers the first poetic translation into Ukrainian by Vasyl Stepanenko of the eleventh-century Middle Greek (Byzantine) epic about the famous hero Digenis Akritos, from whom the New Greek literature began. An important feature of the publication is its bilingualism: the authentic Greek text is presented alongside a Ukrainian translation that is as close to the original as possible. The book contains a short Greek-Ukrainian dictionary and a Handbook of Proper Names and Place Names, a thorough foreword by Gerasimos-Nikolaos Bougas, and a scientific study of the epic by Tetiana Chernyshova.
