Ioannis Dermitzakis (Dermitzogiannis) (1907 -1984) was a virtuoso violinist and lyre player from Crete. In total, he composed over 20,000 mantinades on a variety of themes (history, politics, folklore, love, satire, teaching).

In particular, the Cretan Mantinada stands out for its peculiar expression, the middle of the phrase and reflects the feelings, thinking and life of the Cretan people. It draws its subject matter from a variety of fields and accordingly they can be distinguished into satirical, erotic, opportunistic and philosophical satires.
