Neophytos Doukas (1760-1845), priest, scholar, educator, and translator. Doukas was one of the key figures of the Modern Greek Enlightenment (Diafotismos) during the period of Ottoman rule. He studied in Ioannina, Metsovo, and later in Bucharest. Doukas lived in Vienna from 1803 to 1815, where he was active in the Greek community, and later served as director of the Eponym School in Bucharest. He promoted a classical form of Greek, opposing both Katharevousa and Demotic Greek, and held conservative linguistic views that brought him into conflict with contemporaries such as Adamántios Koraïs. A prolific author and editor, Doukas published more than 70 works, including editions of ancient Greek authors such as Homer, Thucydides, Aristophanes, Euripides, Sophocles, and Pindar. He was a member of the Filiki Eteria and supported the Greek War of Independence. After independence, he returned to Greece, donating thousands of books to educational institutions and serving as director of the orphanage of Aegina and later (briefly) of the Rizarios Seminary in Athens. iZagori
