Ano Elytis

Elytis, born Odysseas Alepoudelis on November 2, 1911 in Heraklion, Crete, was regarded as a major exponent of poetic modernism in Greece, and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1979 for his "Axion Esti".

To mark the centenary anniversary, 2011 has been declared 'Elytis Year' by Greece's culture and tourism ministry.
