The $19^{th}$ century is not only a period in which nationalist movements were on the rise, butalso it is a century in which different sexual identities were prosecuted ideologically.Sexuality and sexual identities, which were considered to be a pathological condition forth the rst time in the 19 century, were closely prosecuted in Greece as well as in Europe.Georgios Viziinos, who wrote the rst examples of the Greek short stories, also wrote histexts in such a period of time. This study examines the image of the "other" and theperception of gender, which appeared in the three stories of Viziinos (Who Was MyBrother's Murderer?; The Only Journey of His Life; Mοscow Selim). Consequently, theauthor does not contradict the nationalist ideology of the period regarding the image of the“other”. However, he follows a relatively different approach to different sexual identities.Concerning the women, it has been concluded that he has an approach that is incompliance with the dominant sexist discourse.
