Summary[edit]

Description
English: The burial monument of Konstantinos P. (Panagiotis) Kritis (1880-1900) by the sculptor Georgios Dimitriadis (Q3891788) (1901) at the First Cemetery of Athens. The inscription on the monument readsː

"ΚΩΝΣΤΑΝΤΙΝΟΣ Π. ΚΡΗΤΗΣ


ΕΓΕΝΝΗΘΗ ΤΗ 22 ΝΟΕΜΒΡΙΟΥ 1880

ΑΠΕΒΙΩΣΕ ΤΗ 21 ΔΕΚΕΜΒΡΙΟΥ 1900


ΔΙΑΒΑΤΑ ΣΤΑΣΟΥ ΚΑΙ ΡΑΝΕ ΜΑΝΘΗ

ΕΝΟΣ ΑΓΓΕΛΟΥ ΤΟ ΚΡΥΟ ΜΝΗΜΑ

ΟΣΤΙΣ ΩΣ ΡΟΔΟΝ ΦΕΥ ΕΜΑΡΑΝΘΗ

ΣΤΟ ΠΡΩΤΟ ΜΟΛΙΣ ΤΟΥ ΒΙΟΥ ΒΗΜΑ


ΝΑΙ ΕΣΒΥΣΕ ΕΙΣ ΤΗΣ ΖΩΗΣ ΤΟ ΘΕΡΟΣ

ΗΣΘΑΝΕΤΟ ΗΓΑΠΑ ΕΙΧΕ ΕΛΠΙΔΑ

ΠΛΗΝ ΕΦΥΤΕΨΕ ΑΥΤΟΝ Η ΤΕΧΝΗΝ ΕΙΣ ΘΕΡΟΣ

ΚΕΖΗΤΗΣΕ ΤΟΝ ΟΥΡΑΝΟ ΓΛΥΚΕΙΑ ΠΑΤΡΙΔΑ


ΚΙΑΝ ΤΩΝ ΓΩΝΕΩΝ ΤΟΥ ΤΗΝ ΑΓΚΑΛΗΝ

ΑΦΗΚΕ ΚΕΤΙ ΦΙΛΟΥΣ ΠΙΣΤΟΥΣ

ΜΙΑΝ ΠΡΩΙΑΝ ΟΛΟΙ ΜΑΣ ΠΑΛΙΝ

ΘΕ ΝΑ ΤΟΝ ΕΥΡΩΜΕΝ ΣΤΟΥΣ ΟΥΡΑΝΟΥΣ"


Meaning (This is my translation to English. I am not a translator or a poet. Feel free to make any edits you see fit)ː


Konstantinos P. Kritis


Born on 22 November 1880

Passed away on 21 December 1900


Passerby, stop and adorn with flowers,

This cold tomb of an angel,

Who, alas, withered like a rose

On his first step in life.


Yes, he withered in the summer of his life.

He had feelings, he loved, and he hoped;

Yet, Art planted him in the summer of his life,

And he sought his sweet home in heavens.


And if he forsought the embrasses of his parents,

If he forsought his faithful friends,

One morning, we all hope

We meet him once again in Heaven.
