The Revelation of Hindi-Style songs in Greece
Academia dot edu ^ | 2015 | Helen Abadzi Yeddanapudi Radhika

Posted on 09/18/2021 1:20:52 PM PDT by SunkenCiv

In the 1950s and 1960s, Greek musicians found and copied at least 108 Hindi songs from the movies played in Greece in that period. In 1998, Helen Abadzi and Emmanuel Tasoulas published in Greek the book 'Ινδοπρεπών Αποκάλυψη". The book contains the background, social issues, events of the period, and the musicological and historical relations between ancient Greece and India. The book has the song and movie list, as well as biographies of singers and composers. To locate and identify the songs, the authors engaged in ethnomusicological research, that is also described therein. An English translation was initially rendered verbatim. In 2015, author and journalist Radhika Yeddanapudi recast the book to facilitate comprehension by foreign readers and added new information. This is the pdf of the work. It is draft, but it is published in the academia website in order to aid cinema researchers.

From Wikipedia:

Because of the obscurity of the name “Perseus” and the legendary character of its bearer, most etymologists presume that it might be pre-Greek; however, the name of Perseus’s native city was Greek and so were the names of his wife and relatives. There is some idea that it descended into Greek from the Proto-Indo-European language. In that regard Robert Graves has proposed the only Greek derivation available. Perseus might be from the Greek verb πέρθειν (pérthein, “to waste, ravage, sack, destroy”) some form of which appears in Homeric epithets. According to Carl Darling Buck (Comparative Grammar of Greek and Latin), the –eus suffix is typically used to form an agent noun, in this case from the aorist stem, pers-. Pers-eus therefore is a “sacker of cities”, that is, a soldier by occupation, a fitting name for the first Mycenaean warrior.

Several generations removed from India, but as Texan, and American as can be. I get fascinated by a heritage to which i have ZERO knowledge or connection.

:^) I've got a lifelong friend who knows next to nothing about the couple of European homelands of his ancestors, but has long been fascinated with India.

I had the opportunity to travel to Mumbai on business. Made friends with my teams there and had a stellar time. It’s a story of contrasts.
