I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, but it's disappointing that the editor of a series of translations of a famous author wouldn't want to capture the feel of the original, given that feel is all that is really respected about the original. Lovecraft's plots are generally nonsensical, the writing is not literary, it's not progressive...
I don't know what your background is (or the background of the editor) but perhaps if you discussed your approach with a professor from a local university you could get them to support your ideal translation. I would imagine they'd love to talk about it and would love to help get a good translation out there.
Or, is there a Greek horror book forum? These would be the target audience and would also provide support to convince the editor.
Translation is not a job that brings you fame and fortune, but it's your name that is going to be attached to these translations (in however small print) so having this editor decide how it should read without knowing the source material is just wrong.
Congratulations and good luck!

Yeah, the little spiky bit grabs the tonsils and then a razor sharp loop in the middle slides back and slices them off.  :X
What does the card say?

My dad (a GP) had something similar that was used for removing tonsils.
This looks like it reaches a little further into the body though, if that's what it is...

Spoiler alert: that's a puzzle from Zaphod's portion of Infocom presents Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy by Steve Meretzky. (The alien in question is the infamous Bug Blatter Beast of Traal.) Although I suppose in that game, the alien takes it as read that he can't see you and no convincing is required.
