1900 - 1971
1912 - 1944
Ποιητής και δοκιμιογράφος κυρίως, με ευρύτατη μόρφωση και μέγιστο
τάλαντο. Ζαγοριανός, γεννήθηκε στην Σμύρνη το 1912. Με την καταστροφή του 1922
η οικογένειά του εγκαταστάθηκε οριστικά στην Αθήνα.
Εκεί τελείωσε την Νομική Σχολή του Πανεπιστημίου έχοντας καθηγητές μεταξύ των
άλλων τον Παναγιώτη Κανελλόπουλο και τον Κωνσταντίνο Τσάτσο.
Το 1934 έφυγε στην Χαϊδελβέργη για να σπουδάσει κοινωνιολογία που
την είχε αγαπήσει πολύ από τα μαθήματα του δασκάλου του Π. Κανελλόπουλου. Εκεί
συνδέθηκε με λογοτεχνικούς και φιλολογικούς κύκλους, ιδιαίτερα δε με τον καθηγητή
του Karl Jaspers. Στην Χαϊδελβέργη όπου παρέμεινε δύο χρόνια, αναγορεύθηκε διδάκτωρ
με την διατριβή του "'Ερως και Χρόνος".
Το 1939 η ελληνοαγγλική επιτροπή του Βρεττανικού Συμβουλίου τον επέλεξε
σαν πρώτο υπότροφο για ευρύτερες σπουδές στην Αγγλία, στο Πανεπιστήμιο του Cambridge.
Εκεί, αφού συμπλήρωσε τριετία σπουδών, εργάσθηκε στο Γραφείο Τύπου της Ελληνικής
Πρεσβείας στο Λονδίνο.
Ο αποκλεισμός του στην Αγγλία κατά την διάρκεια του πολέμου τον έφερε
στο προσκήνιο του σύγχρονου αγγλικού πνεύματος. Δημοσίευσε μελέτες και ποιήματά
του στα μεγαλύτερα περιοδικά της Αγγλίας και η αναγνώρισή του υπήρξε τέτοια ώστε
να θεωρηθεί ένας απ΄ τους μεγαλύτερους σύγχρονους άγγλους ποιητές. Συνδέθηκε με
δεσμούς προσωπικής φιλίας με τον John Lehmann, την Edith Sitwell, τον William
Plomer και έδωσε πολλές διαλέξεις σε κολλέγια και πανεπιστήμια για την Ελλάδα.
Πέθανε στο Λονδίνο τον Μάρτιο του 1944 από λευχαιμία. "Η Αγγλία έχασε
έναν συγγραφέα εξ ίσου σημαντικόν γι΄ αυτήν όσο και για την Ελλάδα" γράφει χαρακτηριστικά
σε άρθρο της η Edith Sitwell μετά τον θάνατό του.
Εξαιρετικά φιλογενείς στάθηκαν και οι Ζαγοριανοί ξενητεμένοι στην
Αίγυπτο. Πλούσια σε αξιέπαινες μορφές η Ζαγοριανή ομογένεια, ανέδειξε κορυφαίες
τέτοιες στην επιστήμη, στην λογοτεχνία, στο εμπόριο, στις καλλιέργειες ... που
διαιώνισαν μαζί με το όνομά τους, το όνομα της Ελλάδος και της ιδιαίτερης πατρίδας
τους, με την δράση, το ήθος και τις ευεργεσίες τους.

ΣΜΥΡΝΗ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Homer is a major figure in ancient Greek literature but virtually
nothing is known about his life. He was probably an Ionian who lived in the 9th
or 8th century BC.
The two epics, the “Illiad” and the “Odyssey”
are ascribed to him. The many separate Greek states were united by the Homeric
epics - the “Iliad”, telling how Greek tribes besieged and took the
town of Troy in Asia
Minor, and the “Odyssey”, a story based on the adventures of the
hero, Odysseus, returning back from Troy
to his home land.
The heroic ideals of these epics inspired Greeks everywhere to regard
their particular polis as though it were one of Homer's heroes, thus persuading
them to strive for collective glory of their cities.

Bion. Of Smyrna, or rather of the small place of Phlossa on the river Meles, near Smyrna. (Suid. s. v. Theokritos.) All that we know about him is the little that can be inferred from the third ldyl of loschus, who laments his untimely death. The time it which he lived can be pretty accurately determined by the fact, that he was older than Moschus, who calls himself the pupil of Bion. (Mosch. iii. 96, &c.) His flourishing period must therefore have very nearly coincided with that of Theocritus, and must be fixed at about B. C. 280. Moschus states, that Bion left his native country and spent the last years of his life in Sicily, cultivating bucolic poetry, the natural growth of that island. Whether he also visited Macedonia and Thrace, as Moschus (iii. 17, &c.) intimates, is uncertain, since it may be that Moschus mentions those countries only because he calls Bion the Doric Orpheus. He died of poison, which had been administered to him by several persons, who afterwards received their well-deserved punishment for the crime. With respect to the relation of master and pupil between Bion and Moschus, we cannot say anything with certainty, except that the resemblance between the productions of the two poets obliges us to suppose, at least, that Moschus imitated Bion; and this may, in fact, be all that is meant when Moschus calls himself a disciple of the latter. The subjects of Bion's poetry, viz. shepherds' and love-songs, are beautifully described by Moschus (iii. 82, &c.); but we can now form only a partial judgment on the spirit and style of his poetry, on account of the fragmentary condition in which his works have come down to us. Some of his idyls, as his poems are usually called, are extant entire, but of others we have only fragments. Their style is very refined, the sentiments soft and sentimental, and his versification (he uses the hexameter exclusively) is very fluent and elegant. In the invention and management of his subjects he is superior to Moschus, but in strength and depth of feeling, and in the truthfulness of his sentiments, he is much inferior to Theocritus. This is particularly visible in the greatest of his extant poems, Epitaphios Adonidos. He is usually reckoned among the bucolic poets; but it must be remembered that this name is not confined to the subjects it really indicates; for in the time of Bion bucolic poetry also embraced that class of poems in which the legends about gods and heroes were treated from an erotic point of view. The language of such poems is usually the Doric dialect mixed with Attic and Ionic forms. Rare Doric forms, however, occur much less frequently in the poems of Bion than in those of Theocritus. In the first editions of Theocritus the poems of Bion are mixed with those of the former; and the first who separated them was Adolphus Mekerch, in his edition of Bion and Moschus. (Bruges, 1565, 4to.) In most of the subsequent editions of Theocritus the remains of Bion and Moschus are printed at the end, as in those of Winterton, Valckenaer, Brunck, Gaisford, and Schaefer. The text of the editions previous to those of Brunck and Valckenaer is that of Henry Stephens, and important corrections were first made by the former two scholars. The best among the subsequent editions are those of Fr. Jacobs (Gotha, 1795, 8vo.), Gilb. Wakefield (London, 1795), and J. F. Manso (Gotha, 1784, second edition, Leipzig, 1807, 8vo.), which contains an elaborate dissertation on the life and poetry of Bion, a commentary, and a German translation.

Bassus, Lollius (Lollios Bassos), the author of ten epigrams in the Greek Anthology, is called, in the title of the second epigram, a native of Smyrna. His time is fixed by the tenth epigram, on the death of Germanicus, who died A. D. 19. (Tac. Ann. ii. 71.)
Apollodorus, an epigrammatic poet, who lived in the time of Augustus and Tiberius, and is commonly believed to have been a native of Smyrna. The Greek Anthology contains upwards of thirty epigrams which bear his name, and which are distinguished for their beautiful simplicity of style as well as of sentiment. Reiske was inclined to consider this poet as the same man as Apollonides of Nicaca, and moreover to suppose that the poems in the Anthologia were the productions of two different persons of the name of Apollodorus, the one of whom lived in the reign of Augustus, and the other in that of Hadrian. But there is no ground for this hypothesis. (Jacobs, ad Anthol. Graec. xiii. p. 854, &c.)
Demetrius, of Smyrna, a Greek rhetorician of uncertain date. (Diog. Laert. v. 84.)
Evodianus, (Euodianos), a Greek sophist of Smyrna, who lived during the latter half of the second century after Christ. He was a pupil of Aristocles, and according to others of Polemon also. He was invited to Rome, and raised there to the chair of professor of eloquence. For a time lie was appointed to superintend or instruct the actors, (tous amphi ton Dionuson technitas), which office lie is said to have managed with great wisdom. He distinguished himself as an orator and especially in panegyric oratory. He had a son who died before him at Rome, and with whom he desired to be buried after his death. No specimens of his oratory have come down to us. (Philostr. Vit. Soph. ii. 16; Eudoc.; Osann, Inscript. Syllog.)

Heracleides. A Greek rhetorician of Lycia, who lived in the second century of our era. He was a disciple of Herodes Atticus, and taught rhetoric at Smyrna with great success, so that the town was greatly benefited by him, on account of the great conflux of students from all parts of Asia Minor. He owed his success not so much to his talent as to his indefatigable industry; and once, when he had composed an enkomion ponou, and showed it to his rival Ptolemaeus, the latter struck out the p in po/nou, and, returning it to Heracleides, said, "There, you may read your own encomium" (enkomion oon). He died at the age of eighty, leaving a country-house in the neighbourhood of Smyrna, which he had built with the money he had earned, and which he called Rhetorica. He also published a purified edition of the orations of Nicetes, forgetting, as his biographer says, that he was putting the armour of a pigmy on a colossus. (Philostr. Vit. Soph. ii. 26, comp. i. 19.)

L. Cestius Pius, a native of Smyrna, taught rhetoric at Rome a few years before the commencement of the Christian era. He was chiefly celebrated on account of the declamations which he was wont to deliver in places of public resort in reply to the orations of Cicero; but neither Seneca nor Quintilian speaks of him with any respect. No fragment of his works has been preserved. (Hieronym. ap. Chron. Euseb. ad Ol.cxci.; Senec. Controv. iii. praef., Suasor. vii.; Quintil. x. 5.20)
Albinus (Albinos), a Platonic philosopher, who lived at Smyrna and was a contemporary
of Galen. A short tract by him, entitled Eisagoge eiss tous Platonos Dralogous,
has come down to us, and is published in the second volume of the first edition
of Fabricius; but omitted in the reprint by Harles, because it is to be found
prefixed to Etwall's edition of three dialogues of Plato, Oxon. 1771; and to Fischer's
four dialogues of Plato, Lips. 1783. It contains hardly anything of importance.
After explaining the nature of the Dialogue, which he compares to a Drama, the
writer goes on to divide the Dialogues of Plato into four classes, logikous, eklegktikou/s,
Fusikous, ethikous, and mentions another division of them into Tetralogies, according
to their subjects. He advises that the Alcibiades, Phaedo, Republic, and Timaeus,
should be read in a series.
The authorities respecting Albinus have been collected by Fabricius. He is said
to have written a work on the arrangement of the writings of Plato. Another Albinus
is mentioned by Boethius and Cassiodorus, who wrote in Latin some works on music
and geometry.

Diogenes. Of Smyrna, an Eleatic philosopher, who was a disciple of Metrodorus and Protagoras. (Clem. Alex. Strom. i.)
Attalus, a Sophist in the second century of the Christian era, the son of Polemon, and grandfather
of the Sophist Hermocrates (Philostr. Vit. Soph. ii. 25.2). His name occurs on
the coins of Smyrna, which are figured in Olearius's edition of Philostratus.
They contain the inscription ATTADOS SOPHIS. TAIS PATRISI SMUR. DAOK., which is
interpreted, "Attalus, the Sophist, to his native cities Smyrna and Laodicea".
The latter is conjectured to have been the place of his birth, the former to have
adopted him as a citizen.
