Abstract:
The present article examines parodies of poems by Embirikos and Engonopoulos, written by the post-symbolist poets Napoleon Lapathiotis and Kostas Ouranis as well as by the editor of Μουσικά Χρονικά Sophia Kentavrou. Apart from accounting for the reception of the Surrealist movement in Greece, these parodies are of special interest in themselves due to the unequal degree of their success. In the case of Lapathiotis, we have a highly distorted version (grotesque) of the poetic modes of Embirikos' Υφικάμινος (Blast Furnace), with a distinct satyrical flavour. Ouranis attemps a rather simple imitation of Υφικάμινος, while he appears to rationalize the selfparodying spirit and demonically playfull style of Engonopoulos' early collections of poetry. Finally, Sophia Kentavrou (who signs her parodies as Tauria Sofenkou), given that she was not a poetess herself, was, to some extent, free of restrictive poetical beliefs and thus created a series of parodies of Υψικάμινος which display an acute poetic feeling and recreate resourcefully the lyrical modes of the early Embirikos.
