Spyridon Lambros (1851 – 1919) was a Greek politician and historian, who served as Prime Minister of Greece.

 

John Argyropoulos (Greek: Ἰωάννης Ἀργυροπουλος, Ioannis Argyropoulos; Italian: Giovanni Argiropulo, 1415 – 1487) was a Greek scholar, theologian, and teacher of the Greek language, one of the most important representatives of the Palaeologan Renaissance. He played a decisive role in the spread of Greek education in the West during the Renaissance. Born in Constantinople, he studied at the Patriarchal Academy and later taught at the court of Constantine XI Palaeologus. In 1439 he participated in the Council of Florence, where he supported the Union of the Churches. After the Fall of Constantinople in 1453, he fled first to Padua and later to Florence, where he taught Greek and philosophy at the newly founded Medici Academy. In the West, Argyropoulos was one of the key figures in the Renaissance, as he preserved and taught classical Greek texts, including the works of Aristotle. His students included prominent humanists such as Lorenzo de’ Medici and John Ruaklios. He died in Rome in 1487, leaving behind a significant legacy in the dissemination of the Greek spirit in the Renaissance.
