Άσπρα καράβια τα όνειρά μας

Οι λόγοι του Ξενοφώντα Ζολώτα

Ο Ξενοφών Ζολώτας υπήρξε πρωθυπουργός της Ελλάδας από τον Νοέμβριο του 1989 έως τον Απρίλιο του 1990 στην Οικουμενική Κυβέρνηση που συγκρότησαν τα τρία μεγαλύτερα κόμματα της εποχής (ΝΔ, ΠΑΣΟΚ, ενιαίος ΣΥΝ).

Ξενοφών Ζολώτας (1904–2004)

Αρκετά χρόνια νωρίτερα, όμως, ως διοικητής της Τράπεζας της Ελλάδος και του Ιδρύματος για την Ελλάδα, βρέθηκε στην Ουάσιγκτον των ΗΠΑ, στην ετήσια σύνοδο που είχαν διοργανώσει από κοινού η Διεθνής Τράπεζα για την Ανοικοδόμηση και την Ανάπτυξη και το Διεθνές Πιστωτικό Ίδρυμα. Οι απόψεις του όταν πήρε τον λόγο διατυπώθηκαν φυσικά στα αγγλικά, ωστόσο οι λέξεις που επέλεξε εξέπληξαν τους συνέδρους: όλες εκτός από τις βοηθητικές είχαν ελληνική καταγωγή και περιέχονταν στα αγγλικά λεξικά!

Αυτός ο πρωτότυπος λόγος αποδεικνύει με εντυπωσιακό τρόπο ότι η αγγλική γλώσσα έχει δανειστεί πολλές ελληνικές λέξεις. Βέβαια το ακροατήριο δεν πρέπει να κατάλαβε και πολλά. Πολλές λέξεις έχουν αλλάξει σημασία, ενώ άλλες έχουν εξειδικευμένο νόημα. Ακόμη και εμείς πρέπει σε κάποιο βαθμό να τις (ξανα)μεταφράσουμε, για να γίνει το κείμενο στρωτό.

Ακολουθεί αυτός ο ιστορικός λόγος, καθώς και μια ενδεικτική, ερασιτεχνική μετάφραση που επιμελήθηκα, ώστε να αντιληφθείτε λίγο το περιεχόμενό του:

September 26, 1957

Remarks by the Hon. Xenophon Zolotas, governor of the Bank of Greece and governor of the Fund for Greece, at the closing joint session

I always wished to address this Assembly in Greek, but I realized that it would have been indeed Greek to all present in this room. I found out, however, that I could make my address in Greek which would still be English to everybody. With your permission, Mr. Chairman, I shall do it now, using with the exception of articles and prepositions only Greek words.

Kyrie,
I eulogize the archons of the Panethnic Numismatic Thesaurus and the Ecumenical Trapeza for the orthodoxy of their axioms, methods and policies, although there is an episode of cacophony of the Trapeza with Hellas.

With enthusiasm we dialogue and synagonize at the synods of our didymous Organizations in which polymorphous economic ideas and dogmas are analyzed and synthesized.

Our critical problems such as the numismatic plethora generate some agony and melancholy. This phenomenon is characteristic of our epoch. But, to my thesis, we have the dynamism to program therapeutic practices as a prophylaxis from chaos and catastrophe.

In parallel a panethnic unhypocritical economic synergy and harmonization in a democratic climate is basic.

I apologize for my eccentric monologue. I emphasize my eucharistia to you Kyrie, to the eugenic and generous American Ethnos and to the organizers and protagonists of this Amphictyony and the gastronomic symposia.

Μετάφραση

Δυο χρόνια αργότερα, στη σύνοδο του 1959, ο Ξενοφών Ζολώτας επανέλαβε την ίδια ενέργεια, καταθέτοντας μια εκτενέστερη δήλωση· πάλι στα αγγλικά και πάλι με λέξεις ελληνικής καταγωγής:

October 2, 1959

Statement by the Hon. Xenophon Zolotas, governor of the Bank of Greece and governor of the Fund for Greece, at the closing joint session

Kyrie,
It is Zeus’ anathema on our epoch for the dynamism of our economies and the heresy of our economic methods and policies that we should agonize between the Scylla of numismatic plethora and the Charybdis of economic anaemia.

It is not my idiosyncrasy to be ironic or sarcastic but my diagnosis would be that politicians are rather cryptoplethorists.

Although they emphatically stigmatize numismatic plethora, they energize it through their tactics and practices.

Our policies should be based more on economic and less on political criteria.

Our gnomon has to be a metron between economic, strategic and philanthropic scopes.

In an epoch characterized by monopolies, oligopolies, monopsonies, monopolistic antagonism and polymorphous inelasticity, our policies have to be more orthological. But this should not be metamorphosed into plethorophobia which is endemic among academic economists. Numismatic symmetry should not antagonize economic acme.

A greater harmonization between the practices of the economic and numismatic archons is basic.

Parallel to this, we have to synchronize and harmonize more and more our economic and numismatic policies panethnically.

These scopes are more practicable now, when the prognostics of the political and economic barometer are halcyonic.

The history of our didymous organizations in this sphere has been didactic and their gnostic practices will always be a tonic to the polyonymous and idiomorphous ethnical economies. The genesis of the programmed organization will dynamize these policies.

Therefore, I sympathize, although not without criticism on one or two themes, with the apostles and the hierarchy of our organizations in their zeal to program orthodox economic and numismatic policies.

I apologize for having tyrannized you with my Hellenic phraseology.

In my epilogue, I emphasize my eulogy to the philoxenous autochthons of this cosmopolitan metropolis and my encomium to you, Kyrie, and the stenographers.

NOTE: All the words in this text with the exception of the auxiliary ones are of Greek origin.

Το κείμενο του Ιωάννη Καλαρά

ΑΠΟ ΤΙΣ ΕΦΗΜΕΡΙΔΕΣ

Νοέμβριος 1999

Οι πρωτότυποι λόγοι του Ξενοφώντα Ζολώτα ενέπνευσαν μερικούς επιστήμονες. Ένας από τους πρώτους είναι ο Ιωάννης Ν. Καλαράς, καθηγητής στο Πανεπιστήμιο Ariston του Σικάγο (ΗΠΑ).

Το 1998 δημοσίευσε μια μελέτη σχετικά με την επίδραση της ελληνικής γλώσσας σε άλλες και ιδιαίτερα στην αγγλική. Πρόκειται για ένα εντυπωσιακό κείμενο, όπου οι περισσότερες λέξεις είναι ελληνικής προέλευσης και περιγράφουν εφτά τομείς της καθημερινότητάς μας: μουσική, δράμα και θέατρο, ιατρική και φαρμακολογία, θεολογία, φυσική και χημεία, μαθηματικά, καθώς και πολιτικά, οικονομικά και κοινωνικά θέματα.

Ξέρω ότι οι περισσότεροι θα το βρείτε ιδιαίτερα μεγάλο, ακόμη και κουραστικό. Δοκιμάστε, ωστόσο, να το διαβάσετε και αναζητήστε τις λέξεις που προέρχονται από τη γλώσσα μας. Είναι τόσο πολλές!

Music

The Orchestras electrified the atmosphere with musical organs like the harp, the lyre, the aulos and hydraulos. The chorus in the odium or theatre synchronized with the organs harmoniously.

Orchestrators synthesized musical poetry, satyr and comedy in a melodic symphony. The rhythm and harmonious eurhythmy were unparalleled. Synthesis, synergy and symphony idealized every orchestrated episode. The magnetic atmosphere, the harmonic rhythm and the stereophonic echo generated magic.

Drama – Theatre

The genesis of classical drama was not symptomatic. A euphoria of charismatic and talented protagonists showed fantastic scenes of historic episodes. The prologue, the theme and the epilogue comprised the trilogy of drama while synthesis, analysis and synopsis charaterized the phraseology of the text.

The syntax and phraseology used by scholars, academicians and philosophers in their rhetoric had many grammatical idioms and idiosyncrasies. The protagonists, periodically used pseudonyms. Anonymity was a syndrome that characterized the theatrical atmosphere. The panoramic fantasy, the mystique, the melody, the aesthetics, the use of cosmetic epithets are characteristics of drama.

Even though the theatres were physically gigantic, there was no need for microphones, because the architecture and the acoustics would echo isometrically and crystally-clear. Many epistemologists of physics, aerodynamics, acoustics electronics, electromagnetics cannot analyze-⁠explain the ideal and isometric acoustics of Hellenic theatres even today.

Το θέατρο της Επιδαύρου

There were many categories of drama: classical drama, melodrama, satiric, epic, comedy etc. The syndrome of xenophobia or dyslexia was overcome by the pathos of the actors, who practiced methodically and emphatically. Acrobatics were also euphoric. There was a plethora of anecdotal themes, with which acrobats would electrify the ecstatic audience, with scenes from mythical and historical episodes.

Some theatric episodes were characterized as scandalous and blasphemous. Pornography, bigamy, hemophilia, nymphomania, polyandry, polygamy and heterosexuality were dramatized in a pedagogical way, so the mysticism about them would not cause phobia or anathema or taken as anomaly, but through logic, dialogue and analysis the skepticism and the pathetic or cryptic mystery behind them would be dispelled.

It is historically and chronologically proven, that theatre emphasized pedagogy, idealism and harmony. Paradoxically, it also energized patriotism, a phenomenon that symbolized ethicacy, character and charisma.

Medicine – Pharmacology

Asclepius and Hippocrates, the patriarchs of pharmacology, used botany as their methodology for therapy. Diagnosis, biopsy, prognosis and then therapy were techniques used with every anomaly of the soma-body. Analysis and dialysis of protoplasms, neoplasms and chromosomes are common methods.

Schizophrenia, melancholy, epilepsy, hysteria, psychopathy are psychotic symptoms analyzed via hypnosis and metempsychosis.

Anemia, atrophy, stomachic dyspepsia, pachydermy, dermatitis, laryngitis, hepatitis, meningitis are somatic anomalies analyzed biochemically.

Chronic anemia causes leukemia but radiology and chemotherapy can be the therapeutic techniques. The stethoscope was used for asthmatic patheses of the thorax.

Sclerosis, atrophy or dystrophy of the skeleton is analyzed by osteology, otitis by otology, leprocy and psoriasis by dermatology, astigmatism and myopia by ophthalmology and of course the epistemology of genesis would be emphasized through embryology in gynecology. Pediatrics, podiatrists, orthopedics, orthodontists, pathologists, neurologists are very common titles.

Hypnotists use hypnosis and before a syringe is used hypodermically, anesthesiologists use anesthetics. An overdose of anesthetics could cause amnesia or paralysis. With neuratic patheses electrolysis was used to energize the neuropathic or atrophic nerve.

Theology

Theology analyzed a mosaic of Ecclesiastical themes. The thesis however that theology takes is very dogmatic. There is a diametric and astronomic antithesis between dogmatism and ideology. Dogmatism has mysticism, is autarchic, myopic, autocratic, cryptic and even schismatic, axiomatic and monolithic. Ideology emphasizes dialogue, energizes a climate of logical and microscopic analysis of themes, philosophizes and produces euphoria of ideas and syllogisms.

Ιησούς Χριστός, Θεού Υιός, Σωτήρ

Theology has many dogmatic mysticisms, which stigmatized certain chronological periods with panacea. A paradigm is the iconolatry which caused pandemonium and schism among the Patriarchs, Metropolitans and people.

An anarchist or blasphemous Christian could be stigmatized and anathematized. Anathema was a practical technique to exclude someone.

When a patriarchic throne was orphaned, the Ecumenical Synod would enthrone the new patriarch. Paradoxically, the selection method was democratic.

Monotheism and polytheism is also analyzed by theologists. Ecclesiastical hymns have poetic rhythm and melody, that is why musical organs are allowed in liturgy.

Prophets and Apostoles emphasized ethicacy, harmony and euthanasia.

Physics – Chemistry

Some of the topics emphasized and analyzed in physics and chemistry were: thermodynamics, aerodynamics, biophysics, biology, biochemistry, metallurgy, magnetism, static electricity etc.

Some of the techniques used are dialysis, electrolysis and synthesis, while some of the materials were asbestos oxygen, metal, magnets. Along with the chemists, geologists would analyze the sismogenic, the botanic and ecological phenomena.

Mathematics – Geometry

Mathematic and geometric theorems and axioms, both practical and theoretic, were analyzed by mathematicians. Alphanumeric systems with cryptic or mnemonic coding have been developed. Geometric schemes like the prism, the pyramid, the circle, the parallelogram and other isometric schemes like the pentagon, hexagon, octagon are analyzed periodically. With diagrams the periphery, the perimeter, the diameter and the dichotomy are studied.

Analogous is the study of astronomy and astrology, where tools like chronometers and telescopes could analyze the telemetry and telekinesis of stars and meteoric phenomena of the galaxy. This study generated the telepathy, the telephone, the telegram, the telegraph etc.

Political – Economic – Societal

Economic systems basically symbolize the philosophy and the ideology of their party. In a democratic political system ideology and dialogue characterize the basic methodology and strategy of the politicians. However, systems like monarchy, tyranny or oligarchy are stigmatized with megaeconomic and social problems. When monarchs or tyrants were dethroned, they nostalgically agonized how to bring anarchy, so that they may be enthroned again. Their chronic egomania and megalomania, their apathy for philanthropy and their aenigmatic, problematic and pathetic logic, periodically stigmatized the political arena. Tyrants symbolize anarchy, phobia, panic, chronic epidemy and paralysis of the socioeconomic system.

The agora was the physical location where politicians, philosophers and scholars would analyze the problems generated by monarchy, tyranny and periodically aristocracy.

The basic methodology was dialogue, rhetoric or poetry. The dialogue was characterized by synthesis, analysis and synopsis, a systematic phenomenon in every epistemologist’s phraseology.

The rhetoric was pragmatic, yet charismatic, characterized by harmony, magnetic fantasy and practical talent. Historians and chronographers have systematically shown that charismatic politicians electrified the odium or the agora with their rhetoric, in which they used cosmetic epithets, eclectic idioms, metaphors, paradigms and paradoxical phraseological idiosyncrasies.

Classical poets, satyrs, scholars and philosophers emphatically critisized the anemic tyrants for their catastrophic and scandaleous egomania. Paradoxically, in spite their idiosyncrasies, some tyrants, like Periandros the Corinthian, were charismatic, philanthropic and sympathetic to the economic problems and social climate. Some of them, who strategized their economics ethically and logically, created economic euphoria, which allowed architects to build odiums and theatres to practice music and drama, gymnasiums and stadiums to organize athleticism. Most of them, however, had the syndrome of apathy, autocracy, autarchy, empathy, were myopic and spasmodic egomaniacs, who antagonized everything that demonstrated an antithesis.

However, the climax of ideology, dialogue, epistemology, philosophy, logic and harmony are practiced in a democratic system. Here you have the forum at the agora, where politics and socioeconomics are analyzed by politicians, academicians and scholars. Politicians antagonized the philosophers and scholars on ideology and practicality of economic systems and ideas. They both, however, emphasized ethicacy, ideology, logic and harmonious political atmosphere.

History has no parallel paradigm of a politician with character and charisma like Pericles the Athenian, whose scholastic and stochastic dynamism, rhetoric, fantasy, energy and ideology characterized him as the architect of the Athenian democracy.

Με τα μικρά χαμίνια του,
καβάλα στα δελφίνια του,
με τις κοπέλες τις γυμνές

μόνον ετούτον αγαπώ!»
