The Disintegration of the Democratic Eastern Federation and the Demise of its Supporters 1885- 1896 and the Poems of Ossian

The founder of the Democratic Eastern Federation Panayiotis Panas and main translator of "The Poems of Ossian" published this poetry between 1885 and 1890. Are these poems relevant to historical events of the time and do they show similarities between the magnanimity of the Celtic heroes and those who tried to bring peace and harmony through the Democratic Eastern Federation? In 1885, "Dar-thula" was republished when disunity began in the Balkans. Under the Treaty of Berlin (1878-1881) offspring of the German, Russian and English monarchy ruled in the Balkans. War broke out between Serbs and Bulgarians when Bulgaria’s monarch attempted to enlarge its territory. Under threat of another blockade by England, Greece was warned not to assist the Serbs. The translation of the "Death of Cuchullin" by Panas is prophetic. It represents both the death of any unity in the area and the demise of its supporters of the association.
