The 19th century is not only a period in which nationalist movements were on the rise, but also it is a century in which different sexual identities were prosecuted ideologically. Sexuality and sexual identities, which were considered to be a pathological condition for the first time in the 19th century, were closely prosecuted in Greece as well as in Europe. Georgios Viziinos, who wrote the first examples of the Greek short stories, also wrote his texts in such a period of time. This study examines the image of the "other" and the perception of gender, which appeared in the three stories of Viziinos Who Was My Brother's Murderer?; The Only Journey of His Life; Mοscow Selim . Consequently, the author 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 in compliance with the dominant sexist discourse.
