- Gunnar De Boel
Abstract
In this article, the link between the romantic 18th century interest in folk-songs in England and Germany, the renewed interest in Homer as a singer of songs, and the fashion of Greek folk-songs in the 19th century is explicited. The close relationship between the Greek Ballad of the Dead Brother and the Lenore-ballad by Bürger, about a dead fiancé, is examined. It is suggested that the replacement of the fiance by the brother has important consequences asto the structure and the function of the song.
