Κ. Θεοτόκης, Α. Σικελιανός, Κ. Καρυωτάκης

In this short essay research is focusing on recognition of naturalistic elements in the short story of K. Theotokis “Pistoma”, and the inclusion of the poems “Thaleros” and “Prayer” in the thematic circles of A. Sikelianos’s poetry. Also the investigation of the relationship of the poems “Return”, and “Optimism” within the thematic circle of Karyotakis’s poetry. A concise approach is also attempted to the problematic ethics in relation to literary criticism and interpretation, which in our view is a major issue not only in Greek but also in world literature.
