Waiting for the Barbarians 2

Toynbee says that Dionysios Solomos, a contemporary of Koraês from Zakynthos in the then-British Ionian Islands, and the author of Greece’s Hymn to Freedom, did not fight in the War of Independence and did not migrate to the independent Greek state. Furthermore

Koraês [who had been born in Smyrna] did not migrate to Greece either, nor did Jean Psichari [Ioannis Psycharis, born to a Greek family in Odessa] (1854-1929), the foremost nineteenth-century advocate of the dhêmotiké [the modern spoken Greek language]. Psichari and Koraês both preferred to remain Parisians, and Kaváphês [Cavafy] remained an Alexandrian.
