Giannes Kampyses
1872–1901
A restless voice in modern Greek letters, he wrote poetry, prose, drama, and translations before his life was cut short at just 29. Even with a brief career, his work left a mark strong enough to keep readers finding him more than a century later.

About the author
Born in 1872 and dying in 1901, Giannes Kampyses was a Greek writer remembered across library and authority records as a poet, prose writer, dramatist, and translator.
His range seems to have been one of his defining strengths: cultural and bibliographic sources describe him as active across several literary forms, and Project Gutenberg still lists his dramatic work Mystiko tou Gamou - Farsa tes Zoēs among the texts associated with his name.
Because easily available biographical detail is limited in the sources I could confirm here, the clearest picture is of a gifted literary figure whose career was remarkably wide for such a short life.
