Everything about Dimitrios Galanos totally explained
Dimitrios Galanos (Greek
Δημήτριος Γαλανός, 1760-1833) was the earliest
Greek Indologist. His translations of
Sanskrit texts into
Greek made knowledge of the philosophical and religious ideas of
India available to many
Europeans.
Born in
Athens,
Greece in 1760, he spent 47 years in India, where he translated many
Hindu sacred texts into Greek and compiled a Sankrit-English-Greek
dictionary of over 9000 words. He died on May 3, 1833 in
Varanasi, India. He was buried in the
Catholic cemetery there, and his tombstone was inscribed with the epitaph, "ΕΙΣ ΜΝΗΜΗΝ ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙOΥ ΓΑΛΑΝΟΥ ΤΟΥ ΑΘΗΝΑIOΥ" (in memory of Dimitrios Galanos of Athens) followed by two lines in
Persian.
A "Dimitrios Galanos" Chair for Hellenic Studies was established at
Jawaharlal Nehru University in
New Delhi, India in September of 2000.
