Epiménides de Creta en el relato de un liberal español del s. XIX. Classica Cracoviensia, XVIII , 2015, 335-348

In my paper I examine a literary work, virtually unknown, of the Spanish journalist, writer and liberal politician of the late nineteenth cen¬tury, Nilo Fabra, who builds an imaginary story with the background of the island of Crete. He describes the situation of the island during the period, in which Crete is going to be liberated from the Ottomans by the Western pow¬ers. The writer uses the dialogue between a well-known personality of the an¬cient Crete and an occasional traveller to describe allegorically the moment in which the events take place and its relationship with the past times of the island.
