Kostas Karyotakis (Greek: Κώστας Καρυωτάκης) is considered one of the most representative Greek poets of the 1920s and one of the first poets to use iconoclastic themes in Greece.
His poetry conveys a great deal of nature imagery and traces of expressionism and surrealism. The majority of Karyotakis' contemporaries viewed him in a dim light throughout his lifetime without a pragmatic accountability for their contemptuous views; for after his suicide,the majority began to revert to the view that he was indeed a great poet. He had a significant, almost disproportionately progressive influence on later Greek poets.
