New page

'''Alexandros Pallis''' was a [[Greeks|Greek]] writer, poet and literary translator of the late 19th and early 20th century.

Pallis was born in [[Piraeus]], [[Greece]], in [[1851]], to a family that hailed from [[Ioannina]], [[Epirus]]. He never met his father who died before he was born. His widowed mother moved the family to [[Athens]] where Pallis completed High School. In [[1869]], he started his university studies at the school of Philosophy, [[University of Athens]] but was forced to abandon his studies, migrate to Manchester, England and work for his uncle.

In [[1894]], Pallis moved to Liverpool where he resided until his death. At this point, he started writing poetry and prose in the every-day [[demotic]] version of [[Greek language|Greek]]. He also translated works such as [[Homer]]'s [[Iliad]] and [[Odyssey]] into modern [[Greek language|Greek]].

His best known work, however, was the translation of the New Testament into modern [[Greek language|Greek]] which was published in [[Athens]] daily "Acropolis" from [[September 9]] until [[October 20]] of [[1901]].
This translation set off riots by the conservative opponents of the translation of the Scriptures which came to be known as "[[The Evangelical Events]]".

Pallis died in Liverpool in [[1935]].
