*Boskovic, Vladimir D. "The Ethos of Language and the Ethical Philosophy of Odysseus Elytis". Ph.D. dissertation, Harvard University, 2014. 233 p.

"My dissertation deals with the ethical philosophy of the Greek poet and Nobel Prize winner Odysseus Elytis (1911-1996). Responding to the "ethical turn" in literary scholarship, I scrutinize the notion of ethos and ethics, which permeates Elytis' writing, and its place in Elytis' poetic universe. Revolving around Elytis' 'theory of analogies', this topic involves a number of diverse and complex literary dialogs, from Plato and Plotinus to German and Greek Romantics, forming part of an unwavering aesthetical and ethical worldview--an alternative cultural, spiritual, and political paradigm Elytis sought to establish."
