Tadeusz Stefan Zieliński (Polish:[taˈdɛ.uʐʑɛˈlij̃skʲi]; Russian: Фадде́й Фра́нцевич Зели́нский; [Faddei Frantsevich] September 14, 1859 – May 8, 1944) was a prominent Polishclassical philologist, historian, and translator of Sophocles, Euripides and other classical authors into Russian.[1] His most well-known works are Die Gliederung der altattischen Komoedie, Tragodumenon libri tres, and Iresione, the last of which is a collection of essays.[2]
He was born on 14 September 1859 in Skrzypczyńce, Russian Empire (present-day Ukraine) to father Franciszek and mother Ludwika (née Grudzińska), both of them of Polish descent.[3] Between 1869 and 1876 he attended secondary school in Saint Petersburg and subsequently in the years 1876–1881 he studied in Leipzig, Munich and Vienna. In 1880 he earned his doctorate from the University of Leipzig for his dissertation, Die Gliederung der altattischen Komoedie.[3] He was author of works on the history of ancient Greek culture and religion, classical education, and popularization of classical studies (published largely in Russian and German).
His daughter became the wife of Prof. Vladimir Beneshevich, executed by the Soviet regime in 1938. Adrian Piotrovsky, his natural son, was arrested by the NKVD in November 1937 and executed.[6]
After the outbreak of World War II, Zieliński left Poland to live with his son in Bavaria, where he lived until he died in 1944 after completing Religions of the Ancient World, which he considered to be his magnum opus.[7]
Scholarly workedit
Although Zieliński was active in many areas of classical scholarship, one of the studies for which he is best known in the West is his investigation of the prose rhythm of Cicero, published in 1904, which is still often referred to today.[8] (See Clausula (rhetoric)). He was also an early mentor to Mikhail Bakhtin. Zieliński's concept of pliaska, in which logocentricism is challenged by incorporating gesture and dance into speech, is referenced in Bakhtin's communication theories that emphasize group participation in the interpretation of meaning between self and other.[9]
His work Tragodumena: De trimetri Euripidei evolutione is a primary reference work for chronology, style, and resolution within Euripides' individual plays as well as across Euripides' body of work, and employs an early narratological methodology.[10]
Zieliński's defense of the significance of classical antiquity in education in a series of lectures in 1903 resulted in the publication of "Our Debt to Antiquity" (in Russian: "Drevnij mir i my") in 1905. In this work, Zieliński argues for a classically-influenced education's compatibility with the natural sciences and Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. By 1911, the work was translated into French, English, Czech, and Italian, and its German translation appeared in the third edition.[11]
