2 | This post is part of our special coverage Europe in Crisis. | Ity lahatsoratra ity dia ampahany amin'ny fandrakofanay manokana ny Eoropa anaty krizy |
3 | “We have a dream. | “Manonofy isika. |
4 | We are still alive. | Samy mbola velon'aina. |
5 | We just want peace. | Saingy … tsy maintsy miady.” |
6 | But … we have to fight.” These are the four sentences that accompany a recent photo entitled ‘Greek Maenads', by the photographer/blogger ‘Dimitris the Athens‘. | Ireo no fehezanteny efatra izay nanaraka ilay sary teo aloha nitondra ny lohateny hoe ‘Greek Maenads', an'ilay sady mpakasary no bilaogera ‘Dimitris the Athens‘. |
7 | The photo shows a young naked woman, a symbol of a modern Maenad [mythological female follower of Dionysus], bleeding from her navel and holding in her hands like a newborn baby, the Greek flag. | Mampiseho vehivavy tanora iray miboridana ilay sary, sary iray amantarana ny Maenad maoderina [Maenad , vehivavy fahiny mpanaraka an'i Dionysus araka ny lovan-tsofina], mandeha rà eo amin'ny foitrany ary toa mitazona zazakely vao teraka eny an-tànany, ny saina Grika. |
8 | The photo, which has travelled around the world through social media, underlines the current psychological situation of Greek people, their lost pride and anger, while experiencing the crisis. | Ilay sary, izay nitety izao tontolo izao tamin'ny alalan'ny media sosialy, dia manasongadina ny toe-javatra ara-psikolojika iainan'ny vahoaka Grika amin'izao fotoana, ny reharehany very sy ny hatezerany, nandritra ny niainany ny krizy. |
9 | Dimitris the Athens was inspired to create the image by the myth of ancient Greek nymphs, called Maenads. | Nanazo aingam-panahy i Dimitris the Athens mba hamorona ilay sary avy amin'ireo Andriamanibavy Grika teo amin'ny tantara fahiny, nantsoina hoe Maenads. |
10 | In his blog, writes [el, uk] about them: | Ao amin'ny bilaoginy, manoratra [el, uk] mikasika azy ireny izy : |
11 | Maenades were nymphs, the female companions and followers of the god Dionysus, their name literally translates as “raving ones. | Andriamanibavy ny Maenades, ireo vehivavy manodidina sy mpanara-dia ny Andriamanidahy Dionysus, ny anaran-dry zareo dia midika ara-bakiteny hoe “mpisary gaigy. |
12 | (…) Indeed, the main characteristic of the Maenads was their ecstatic frenzy where often inspired by Dionysus and through a combination of dancing and drunken intoxication, they would lose all self-control, begin shouting excitedly and engage in uncontrolled, hyperactive and beyond logic violent behavior. | (…) Araka izany, ny tena toetra mampiavaka ny Maenads dia ny fisariana gaigy fanaon-dry zareo tonga amin'ny faratampony izay mazàna nalainy tahaka avy amin'i Dionysus ary anatin'ny fifangaroharoan'ny dihy sy ny hamamoana noho ny zava-mahadomelina dia tsy voafehin-dry zareo intsony tenany, manomboka mikiakiaka sy mitondra tena toy ny gaigy, mahery fihetsika sy lasa lavitra noho izay fitondrantena feno herisetra tsy takatry ny saina. |
13 | In modern day Greece, the Maenads exist and continue to upset… | Ao anatin'izao andro maoderina eto Gresy izao, mbola misy ny Maenads ary mbola mitohy mitondra fahasorenana… |
14 | Modern Greek 'Maenad'. | 'Maenad'-n'ny Grika Maoderina. |

16 | Dimitris the Athens, giving an exclusive interview about his photo for Global Voices, says that he was motivated and inspired by the non-reactions of people and the misery which exists around us today: | Dimitris the Athens, nanao tafatafa manokana ho an'ny Global Voices mikasika ny sariny, dia miteny hoe natosika sy nentanin'ny ainganm-panahy avy amin'ny tsy firakan'ny olona sy ny fahantrana misy manodidina antsika ankehitriny izy : |
17 | I was sick and tired by seeing photos in foreign media showing only homeless, immigrants, incapable politicians. | Maharary ahy sy mandreraka ahy ny mahita sary any anaty fampahalalam-baovao vahiny mampiseho ireo olona tsy manan-kialofana, ny mpifindra monina, ireo mpanao politika tsy mahavita azy. |
18 | Future…. | Hoavy…. |
19 | Rebirth… Pride…. nowhere… | Fahaterahana indray… Hambo…. any rehetra any… |
20 | About the Maenads of modern Greece, he states: | Momba ny Maenads-n'ny Gresy Maoderina, hoy izy hoe : |
21 | I cannot identify them yet quite clearly but I can “smell” them intensely and nice. | Tsy vitako ny manavaka azy ireo mazava tsara saingy azoko “fofonina” tsara ny fisian-dry zareo. |
22 | They are on their road, they are getting prepared. | Ao anatin'ny làlany tsara ry zareo ary efa miomankomana. |
23 | They are next to us. | Tsy lavitra antsika. |
24 | You can find them in the basis, in the clear folk proud souls, which will react without the god Dionysus, this time. | Azontsika atao ny mahita an-dry zareo eny amin'ny fototra, eny anatin'ny fahatsiarovan'ny atifanahin'ny vahoaka eny, izay hanao hetsika tsy misy hidiran'ny Andriamanidahy Dionysus akory, amin'ity indray mandeha ity. |
25 | As one of the clear messages of the photo is the necessity of reaction and fight, Dimitris the Athens gives his explanation about what fight means: | Ho toy ny hafatra iray mazava avy amin'ilay sary, dia eo ny filàna mihetsika sy miady., Dimitris the Athens dia manome ny fanazavany mikasika ny dikan'ny hoe ady : |
26 | The fight begins by turning off TVs and reacting to everything that has crystallized as a dogma and lowers our pride (self-esteem). | Ny ady dia manomboka amin'ny fanapihana ny vata fahitalavitrao sy fihetsehana amin'ny zavatra rehetra izay nivadika ho toy ny foto-kevitra ary nampietry ny hambontsika (ny fanomezantsika lanja ny tenantsika). |
27 | This war is neither financial or political, it is an Ethical war. | Ity ady ity tsy hoe resaka ara-bola na politika, ady ara-pitondrantena io. |
28 | He firmly believes that the Greek crisis is clearly ethical, but as he concludes, borrowing the lyrics of a Greek song: | Mino mafy mihitsy izy fa ny olan'ny Grika dia olana ara-pitondrantena, saingy araka ny famintinany, nindramany ny tonon'ilay hira Grika manao hoe : |
29 | The days which are ahead will be strange but wonderful days. | Hafa tsy ho toy ny taloha ny andro ho avy, saingy ho andro mahafinaritra kosa. |
30 | The photo has attracted the attention of social media and many news websites, not only in Greece but worldwide. | Nisarika ny sain'ireo media sosialy sy tranonkalam-baovao maro ilay sary, tsy tao Gresy ihany fa manerana izao tontolo izao. |
31 | Twitter user, Papapetrou Patroklos, tweets: | Papapetrou Patroklos, mpampiasa Twitter dia nibitsika hoe : |
32 | @ppapapetrou76: You really need to see it / read it: #MAENADS http://dimitristheathens.blogspot.com/2012/05/maenads.html Really shocking photo of a woman bleeding holding the #greek flag | @ppapapetrou76: Tena ilainao ny mahita/ mamaky an'ity : #MAENADS http://dimitristheathens.blogspot.com/2012/05/maenads.html Sary tena manohina ahitàna vahivavy iray mandeha rà mitazona ny sainam-pirenena #greek grika |
33 | The news website Greek Reporter writes about the impact of the bloody Maenad: | Ny tranonkalam-baovao Greek Reporter dia manoratra mikasika ny fiantraikan'ity sarinabout the impact of the bloody Maenad: |
34 | Users of several social media all around the world, such as Facebook and Twitter, have published the picture in their personal profiles, creating a giant chain of the Greek bloodied Maenad, sharing the message of the concept. | Ny mpampiasa ireo tambajotra sosialy marobe manerana izao tontolo izao, toy ny Facebook sy Twitter, dia namoaka ilay sary tany amin'ny mombamomba azy ireo daholo, niteraka fiforonana rojonà Maenad Grika mihoson-drà, nifampizara ilay hafatra. |
35 | (…) The few-words-long slogan is what every Greek person thinks these days, that Greece struggles with the financial crisis and this may be a reason why this image became immediately popular. | (…) Ilay teny faneva lava mampiasa teny fohy dia izay ao an-tsain'ireo Grika isan'andro vaky, hoe miady amin'ny olana ara-bola i Gresy ary mety ho antony io mahatonga ilay sary ho lasa malaza be avy hatrany . |
36 | The reactions of people to the photo proves right the comment of the photographer that in modern day Greece, the Maenads exist and continue to upset… | Ny fanehoan-kevitry ny olona mikasika ilay sary dia manaporofo mivanta ny fanamariha'ilay mpaka sary fa ao anatin'izao andro maoderina eto Gresy izao, mbola misy ny Maenads ary mbola mitohy mitondra fahasorenana… |
