กลุ่ม Essay | Le fonti analizzate sono di carattere... | | Source language: Italian
Le fonti analizzate sono di carattere iconografico e mancano documenti scritti che potrebbero far luce su molti aspetti dei temi, al contrario di ciò che succede con le fonti ittite. Così i tanti temi affrontati aprono la via ad altrettante problematiche. Nell’ottica di un fenomeno di interculturalità , forte nella seconda metà del VIII sec. a.C., assume straordinario interesse il confronto dei Greci in questo periodo con il Levante e la consapevolezza che l’apporto degli stati in questo fenomeno sia stato rilevante. | Remarks about the translation | é un testo di archeologia che vorrei fosse tradotto in inglese standard (UK). |

| The analysed sources have an iconographical character | TranslationEnglish
Translated by  goncin | Target language: English
The analysed sources have an iconographical character, lacking written documents that could clarify many aspects of the subject, as opposed to the Hittite sources. Thus, the diverse subjects tackled open a path to many other problems. Through the vision of a phenomenon of interculturality, pronounced during the second half of the VIII century b.C., in this period, the Greeks' confrontation against the Levant gains an extraordinary interest; the awareness that the contribution of the states to that phenomenon has been relevant. | Remarks about the translation | The Levant describes, traditionally, the Eastern Mediterranean at large, but can be used as a geographical term that denotes a large area in Western Asia formed by the lands bordering the Eastern shores of the Mediterranean. Levant was originally applied to the "Mediterranean lands east of Italy", from the Middle French word levant meaning "the Orient". |

Nice translation, just one or two suggestions:
Maybe it would be better to put:
"as opposed to the Hittite sources"
instead of:
"in opposition to what happens regarding the Hittite sources."
and:
"Thus, the diverse subjects tackled open a path..."
instead of:
"Thus, the several tackled subjects open a path..."
"... the second half of the VII century b.c.,"
instead of:
"the second half of VIII century b.C.,"
I'm not too sure what you mean with the last part of the phrase:
"the Greeks' confrontation in that period gains an extraordinary interest, according to Levante and to the awareness that the contribution of the states to that phenomenon has been relevant."

Regarding the last part, it seems to me that Levante is an respectful author for the Greeks' confrontation (war?) subject. Moreover, the states seem also to have contributed to increase the self-knowlegde level ('awareness', maybe better 'consciousness') about the regarding phenomenon. Yep, quite confuse, even in Italian.
I've already proceeded with the other fixes. Thanks!  | | |

When I translated this text (already a while ago), I thought that "Levante" was an author's surname, as I told Ruth above.
But now, re-reading the original text, I believe that "Levante" refers to "Near East" instead. It makes more sense, doesn't it?  CC: lilian canale | | |

Let's do some research about that, OK? | | |
11 February 2009 16:38 | | | Maybe this can suit as a starting point. (And that as a ending one?) | | |
11 February 2009 16:50 | | | I think we could place this in the remarks:
"The Levant describes, traditionally, the Eastern Mediterranean at large, but can be used as a geographical term that denotes a large area in Western Asia formed by the lands bordering the Eastern shores of the Mediterranean. Levant was originally applied to the "Mediterranean lands east of Italy", from the Middle French word levant meaning "the Orient".
What do you think? | | |
