View full profile →

Odysseas Elytis (1911–1996) was a Greek poet, essayist, and Nobel laureate in Literature (1979), celebrated for his visionary, sun-drenched verse that fused surrealism with Greek myth and landscape. Born in Crete, he studied law in Athens but devoted his life to poetry, becoming a defining voice of modern Hellenism through works like 'The Axion Esti.'
