KOSTIS PALAMAS - 75 YEARS IN MEMORIAM Rolls

KOSTIS PALAMAS - 75 YEARS IN MEMORIAM Rolls

Kostis Palamas, who revitalised modern Greek poetry, was a towering figure in Greek literary life. He was an ardent supporter of ‘demotic’ (vernacular) Greek and contributed decisively to its recognition as a poetic medium. His funeral in 1943, attended by thousands of Athenians, turned into a massive demonstration against Nazi occupation.
