General traits
General traits
Some general traits of the Ionian style were: • the use of Dimotiki instead of Katharevousa (with some exceptions, mainly Kalvos), • the manifest influence that the contemporary Italian poets had in its thematology, that is regarding the depiction of real-life scenes, • the worship of homeland, • the worship of nature, • a "romantic impulse" (also described as folkloric idealism), • an emphasis on the importance of love and freedom, • an appreciation of religion's role in man's life.
