Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The funerary statue of Antonakis (Little Anthony) by the sculptor Dimosthenis Papagiannis (1890-1945) at the 1st Cemetery of Athens.

The pedestal of the statue bears two inscriptions, one in French and one in Greek.

The one in French readsː "CAMARADES ET MAITRES AIMES / PAPA MAMAN SOEURS ADORES / JAMAIS ADIEU AU REVOIR" If I am not mistaken it meansː "His classmates and teachers / His father, his mother and his sisters adored him / Not goodbye but until next time."

The second one, in Greek, readsː "ΣΑΝ ΚΡΙΝΟ ΜΕΣ ΣΤΟ ΛΥΚΕΙΟ ΑΝΘΟΥΣΕΣ ΑΝΤΩΝΑΚΗ / ΚΑΙ ΟΛΟΙ ΣΕ ΑΓΑΠΟΥΣΑΝΕ. ΤΟ ΛΑΤΡΕΥΤΟ ΑΓΟΡΑΚΙ / ΗΣΟΥΝ ΓΙΑ ΜΑΣ ΠΑΡΗΓΟΡΙΑ ΤΩΡΑ ΠΟΙΟΣ ΘΑ ΜΑΣ ΔΩΣΗ. Η ΠΑΝΑΓΙΑ Μ ΑΛΛΕΣ ΚΑΡΔΙΕΣ ΚΑΙ ΣΑΣ ΘΑ ΒΑΛΣΑΜΩΣΕΙ."

In this case too I will try my best with the translation even though I am not a translatorː "Like a lily you blossomed Antonaki (Little Anthony) in highschool and we all loved you our beloved little boy. You were for us a consolation which now who is going to give us? The Virgin Mary will now embrace you."

The last part of the Greek text "Η ΠΑΝΑΓΙΑ Μ ΑΛΛΕΣ ΚΑΡΔΙΕΣ ΚΑΙ ΣΑΣ ΘΑ ΒΑΛΣΑΜΩΣΕΙ" literally means, "The Virgin Mary along with other hearts (aka souls) will all cure (?) you" but I chose "The Virgin Mary will now embrace you" because it sounded less stiff to me. Once again I am not a professional translator so feel free to make all the necessary edits.
