The translation of the Odyssey by G. Psychountakis - first published in 1979 - was immediately distinguished by the fusion of Cretan speech with Homeric language, and the use of rhyme for the first time in rendering the unrhymed original. The main difference here was that it was not a scholarly translator speaking, but an ordinary person who recreated Homer after first feeling and assimilating him. It preserved the poetic content, the soul of the text, and conveyed it with the effortless naturalness of unadulterated speech, which still lives on today in the Cretan village. Along with the rizitiko song, which has not died, this speech still lives in Crete, while in many other places it becomes standardized and dries up, a speech so alive and expressive, worthy of rendering Homer.
