Theodoros Xydis
Edit ProfileCareer
In literature he first appeared in 1931 (with the study Palamas apo mia poiitiki syllogi tou/Palamas a poetic collection) and then published (1932) a study titled The poetic will of Angelos Sikelianos. He collaborated with many magazines (Nea Estia, Elliniki Dimiourgia, Idea, Nea Grammata, Peiraika Grammata, Filologiki Protochronia) publishing poems, book reviews and literary studies. Sikelianos was a key reference point in his research work (various publications in magazines and newspapers).
He described the Delphic Idea as a "vision of Greekness" and underlined the Greek dimension of "Space" and the "Idea" of the "Navel of Delphi" while highlighting the key role that this idea played in the work of the poet.
He was a wholehearted supporter of the idea. He wrote about the key issues of the life and poetry of Sikelianos (the loneliness and responsibility of the artist, the social role of his poetry, the Delphic Vision etc), and the literary relationship with Sikelianos ( Articles about letters Sikelianos sent to him).
Some indicative articles on Sikelianos are the following: (Nea Estia Magazine): Sikelianos and the ancient myth, The ancestors of Sikelianos, Kazantzakis and Sikelianos, Lefkas on Sikelianos, Sikelianos' first poem, The Delphi Intellectual Centre and Sikelianos, et cetera
