I was wondering if anyone can help with accessing some
of the the following for a project I am working with
others on.
2 photographs: 1 of upper-class Greeks eating a meal
c. 1900-1930 in Greece; and 1 of
peasant Greeks eating a meal, same time period. I want
to have a label that mentions that what you ate was
determined by economics and class and need a way to
illustrate it. I have had no luck tracking down
anything that would fit the bill.
Another missing piece is that I need to find a way to
illustrate the
idea of fasting. I was hoping that some kind of
calendar might exist
that shows when periods of religious fasts are or
perhaps a pamphlet
from the church that advises people on fasts.
Foods associated with specific holidays or events
We would like to create a PowerPoint
presentation that includes images to represent things
like the special foods served at funerals or for
mourning, the specific breads baked for
special holidays, etc. We have a book called something
like "Greek American Traditions
and Custom" that is chock full of this info. What we
don't have are images. In the end, I can scan any
images and put together the PowerPoint but I just
don't have time to figure out where
and how to get them (can these be in any cookbooks?
is there some treasure trove of historic photos?)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Mr. Leich,
In response to your query on Nephakes, we've checked
our lists on the
computer. His name does not seem to appear in any of
our references
to published English translations of modern Greek
literature or
essays in English on modern Greek literature. We
should be glad to
hear back if anyone else sends you good news re.
Nephakes in English.
You (and others on the list) may be aware that Wim
Bakker and I are
continuing to update my _Checklist of
English-Language Sources
Useful in the Study of Modern Greek Literature
1824-1987_ ("CENSUS
1824-1987", for short), originally published by the
MGSA in 1990, and
compiling an enlarged edition. We look forward to
working with you,
and with all those on the CoHSL list, in this
endeavour, to make the
new CENSUS of Modern Greek Literature as accurate
and complete as
possible.
Cordially,
Dia Philippides
