ostes Palamás,  (born January 13, 1859, in  Patras, Greece, and died on February 27, 1943, in Athens) He is credited as the most important Greek poet in the evolution of modern Greek literature. Palamás was the first poet to express the national sufferings and aspirations of the Greeks, and with his lyricism, metrical variety, and robust language he remolded a great deal of Greek history, mythology, and philosophy, fusing it with many western European and even Eastern ideas. His play Trisevgene (1903; “The Thrice Noble”) has lyric rather than dramatic merits. Palamás also wrote short stories, and his criticism significantly raised the level of modern Greek literary criticism.
