Abstract

José María Heredia published in 1823 the first philhellenic Spanish poem with expressed name of author, which sets in parallel the independence of Greece and the freedom that he wanted for Cuba. His personal files preserve a damaged book with philhellenic poems in French and a Spanish translation written in the margins. Critics have as yet been unable to determine the title of the book and the author to which they belong. The identification of this collection of French poems will allow us to follow the steps of philhellenism in the Caribbean as a language of rebellion and freedom.
