About the author

Born in Androuvitsa, Messenia, in 1872 and dying in Athens in 1933, Kostes G. Pasagiannes was a Greek short-story writer, poet, journalist, folklorist, and senior civil servant.

Sources available for this overview describe him as an important observer of Greek life and tradition. He is especially noted as a forerunner of travel literature in Greek writing, and his work reflects an interest in regional character, customs, and the textures of ordinary experience.

Project Gutenberg lists Moskies - Diegimata among his works, showing that his fiction has remained available to later readers. I could not confirm a suitable portrait image from the sources I checked, so no profile image is included.
