Yrkingar 1898-1948. By JHO Djurhuus. Missed, ordered and wrote notes has Chr. Mattresses.
Jens Hendrik Oliver Djurhuus, commonly known as Janus, lived from February 26, 1881 to September 1, 1948. Hans Andrias Djurhuus, a portman, was Janus' brother. Together, Hans Andrias Djurhuus and Janus Djurhuus go by the name Åarstovubrøður.
He was born in Havn in 1881. He quickly showed himself to be talented beyond the ordinary, and read Greek and Latin for a long time in the real school. Some understand that he understood his mother tongue when he heard one of his classmates, Jákup Dahl, read the poem Nú er tann stundin..., by the farmer and community leader Jóannes Patursson.
Janus took his preliminary exam in 1897, and then went to Denmark to attend a student school. He was first in Keypmannahavn, but then moved to Bornholm, where his former teacher, Emil Bruun, was a priest. Janus took a student program in 1900, and the following year his first work Blíð er summarnát on Føroya land came out. In 1911, Janus Djurhuus became a cand. jur., and then worked as a legal scholar in Denmark and the Faroes. In 1914, the first Yrkingar workshop was established: Yrkingar.
The rest of the story is self-explanatory. Five hymns and a multitude of transpositions, including those of the classical Greek hymns. His greatest work was the translation of Homer's Illiaduni, Janus mentions the work Ilionskvæði in Faroese. When Janus Djurhuus died in 1948, there were over 200 works and replacements left by him.
The clear classical literature and the knowledge of Greek and Latin set the tone for the poetic work of Janus Djurhuus. But also the romantic romantic movement, the flair for the Faroese language and the familiarity with the Old Norse literature have made him the most influential Faroese artist - the father of the contemporary Faroese poetry.
