PHRASIS is a programme set up by the Ministry of Culture that sponsors the publication abroad, in high quality translations, of notable works that reflect the diversity of Greek publishing. The Hellenic Foundation for Culture (HFC)is responsible for administering the programme.
PHRASIS concerns books either in the public domain or under copyright which, when translated, will help make the Greek cultural heritage better known.
PHRASIS covers writing in genres such as fiction, poetry, essay, human sciences, philosophy, history, archaeology, drama, literature for young children and teenagers, religion, psychology, personal testimony and chronicles, biography, anthologies, illustrated volumes, comics, gastronomy, ecology-environment, music and applied science.
Grants pertain exclusively to the cost of translation.
