About the author
Dionysios Solomos
39 books40 followersDionysios Solomos (Greek: Διονύσιος Σολωμός, 8 April 1798 - 9 February 1857) was a Greek poet from Zakynthos. He is best known for writing the Hymn to Liberty (Greek: Ὕμνος εἰς τὴν Ἐλευθερίαν), of which the first two stanzas on music by Nikolaos Mantzaros became the Greek national anthem in 1865.
He was the central figure of the Heptanese School of poetry, and is considered the national poet of Greece - not only because he wrote the national anthem, but also because he contributed to the preservation of earlier poetic tradition and highlighted its usefulness to modern literature. Other notable poems include Τhe Cretan (Ὁ Κρητικός), The Free Besieged (Ἐλεύθεροι Πολιορκημένοι) and others.
A characteristic of his work is that no poem except the Hymn to Liberty was completed, and almost nothing was published during his lifetime.
