Andreas Kalvos (Greek: Ανδρέας Κάλβος; 1792 - November 3, 1869) was a contemporary of Dionysios Solomos and one of the greatest Greek poets of the 19th century. Paradoxically enough, no known portrait of his survives today.


Carried away in the enthusiasm of the outbreak of the Greek revolution he published, in 1824, the first part of his Greek poems, "The Lyre", a collection of ten odes. Almost immediately, the odes were translated into French and found a most favourable reception. In the beginning of 1825, Kalvos returned to Paris where one year later he published ten more odes, "Lyrics".

Ο Ανδρέας Κάλβος (1792-1869) -του οποίου παραδόξως δεν υπάρχει γνωστό σωζόμενο πορτραίτο- αποτελεί έναν από τους σπουδαιότερους Έλληνες ποιητές. Η νεοκλασικιστική του παιδεία και η ρομαντική του ψυχοσύνθεση συμπλέκουν στην ποίηση του το δραματικό με το ειδυλλιακό, το παγανιστικό με το χριστιανικό, τα αρχαιοελληνικά πρότυπα με την σύγχρονη επαναστατική επικαιρότητα, τον πουριτανισμό με τον λανθάνοντα ερωτισμό, την αυστηρότητα, τη μελαγχολία, την κλασικιστική φόρμα με το ρομαντικό περιεχόμενο, σύζευξη που είναι ορατή ακόμη και στη γλώσσα (αρχαΐζουσα με βάση δημοτική) και στη μετρική (αρχαϊκή στροφή και μέτρο που συχνά δημιουργεί, σε δεύτερο επίπεδο, δεκεπεντασύλλαβους).

Dionysios Solomos Poems (v. 1.1)

Dionysios 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: Ύμνος Εις Την Ελευθερίαν), of which the first two stanzas, set to 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 Ο Κρητικός (Τhe Cretan), Ελεύθεροι Πολιορκημένοι (The Free Besieged) 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.


Dionysius Solomos has been called by many the "father of modern Greek poetry" in that it was he who, in the opening decades of the nineteenth century, rebaptized Greek poetry in the ancestral springs of inspiration and language and gave it an orientation that has been followed by such major poets as Palamas, Sikelianos and Seferis. "With Solomos," Zissimos Lorenzatos has written, "the problem of artistic expression enters our cultural life, as the problem of independence entered our national life."

Ο Διονύσιος Σολωμός (8 Απριλίου 1798 - 9 Φεβρουαρίου 1857) ήταν Ζακυνθινός Έλληνας ποιητής, περισσότερο γνωστός για τη συγγραφή του ποιήματος Ύμνος εις την Ελευθερίαν το 1823, οι πρώτες δυο στροφές του οποίου έγιναν ο ελληνικός εθνικός ύμνος. Κεντρικό πρόσωπο της Επτανησιακής σχολής, ο Διονύσιος Σολωμός θεωρήθηκε και θεωρείται ο εθνικός ποιητής της Ελλάδας, όχι μόνον γιατί έγραψε τον Εθνικό Ύμνο, αλλά και γιατί αξιοποίησε την προγενέστερη ποιητική παράδοση (κρητική λογοτεχνία, Δημοτικό τραγούδι) και ήταν ο πρώτος που καλλιέργησε συστηματικά τη δημοτική γλώσσα και άνοιξε τον δρόμο για τη χρησιμοποίησή της στη λογοτεχνία, αλλάζοντας ακόμη περισσότερο τη στάθμη της.

Constantine P. Cavafy, also known as Konstantin or Konstantinos Petrou Kavafis, or Kavaphes (Greek: <b>Κωνσταντίνος Π. Καβάφης</b>) (April 29, 1863 – April 29, 1933) was a renowned Greek poet who lived in Alexandria and worked as a journalist and civil servant.

He is now considered one of the finest European and modern Greek poets. His poetry is taught at schools in mainland Greece and Cyprus, and at universities around the world.

E.M. Forster knew him personally and wrote a memoir of him, contained in his book "Alexandria". Forster, Arnold Toynbee, and T.S. Eliot were among the earliest promoters of Cavafy in the English-speaking world before the Second World War.

In the panorama of twentieth century poetry, Cavafis' work occupies a special place. Dark, lonely to the limit of self-segregation, but at the same time attracted by the Mediterranean vitality and openness, the neo-Hellenic poet refuses en block every aspect of his time, diving instead, with constant wonder, into the suggestions of mythological legends and ancient history.

The result of this literary operation is the continuous, desperate search for a mysterious and elusive Beauty, an evocation of hidden moments and loves sung now with violently sensual accents, now with heartfelt and nostalgic tones, mixed with a tragic vision of history as eternal struggle between men and destiny.
