| Summary | "Η Βαβυλωνία ή η κατά τόπους διαφθορά της ελληνικής γλώσσης" by D. K. Vyzantios is a comedic play written in the late 19th century. The work reflects historical and cultural elements of Greek society while humorously critiquing the corruption and degeneration of the Greek language through its various regional dialects. The play is set in Nafplio and introduces a diverse array of characters, hinting at a rich exploration of social interactions and language barriers. At the start of the play, the action takes place in a hotel in Nafplio, where an Eastern man (ανατολίτης) experiences confusion due to the dialects spoken by the locals and the language used in the menu. Various characters, including a Peloponnesian and a Chian, enter the scene, discussing recent events, including the liberation of Greece from Ottoman rule. Their dialogue, filled with humor and misunderstandings about food, language, and customs, sets the stage for a comical exploration of the intersection of culture and language, as each character grapples with their identity and the chaos that ensues from their dialectical differences.
