Όψεις του αντίκτυπου της έξωσης του Όθωνα στην κοινή γνώμη της Βλαχίας : μια «Ωδή στην Ελλάδα» του C. D. Aricescu
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study looks at the various reactions in the Romanian principalities,
particularly Wallachia, to the expulsion of Greece’s first king, Otto, on
11/23 October 1862. Taking as his starting-point the journalist and historian
C. D. Aricescu’s Ode to Greece, which lauds Otto’s violent overthrow,
the writer gives a brief outline of the political climate in the Romanian
principalities in the time of Prince Alexandru Ion Cuza (1859-66). He then
discusses the oppositionist character of the publication of the Ode, mentions
the persecution Aricescu suffered, as well as the support he enjoyed of
many known Greeks and Romanians, and finishes by pointing out the similarities
between the lives and reigns of the two rulers, Otto and Cuza.
