After fighting for his fellow countrymen in the war , Dimitris Loukatos did not want to fight against them in the Greek Civil War that ensued . In 1947 he went to the Sorbonne , Paris , where he was awarded a doctorate in 1950 . On his return to Greece he resumed his work as Editor at the Archives of Folklore . He married Zoe Bibikou and had a son , Sotiris . In his capacity as editor at the Archives of Folklore , he took an active part in many folklore projects , including research on his own native island of Cephalonia just after the devastating earthquake of 1953 . In 1964 he was one of the three professors that started from scratch the newly created School of Philosophy at the University of Ioannina , a post he retained until 1969 , when , finding it was not any more possible to cope with the rules imposed by the military dictatorship ( 1967 – 1974 ) in education , he resigned . He subsequently held chairs in the Universities of Crete ( 1979 – 81 ) and Patras ( 1984-5 )
