Giorgos or George Seferis (Γιώργος Σεφέρης, the pen name of Georgios Seferiadis (Γεώργιος Σεφεριάδης; 1900 – 1971), was a Greek poet and diplomat. He was one of the most important Greek poets of the 20th century, and a Nobel  laureate.

 

 
“I remember, as a child in Smyrna, every morning, at the same time, the same voice on the street: ‘I have various books! Erotokritos and Aretousa! (…). The story of Genovefa! The story of Halima! On the cover, Erotokritos, a Levantine looking wildly and somewhat obliquely, wearing a tufted helmet, with a cloak folded over his breast, having behind him a loose Byzantine peristyle, the scutari and pole suspended between the columns. He was to me the same soul as Digenis and Alexander the Great, a triplet brother. If I were asked, I could not distinguish one from the other, just as I could find nothing to distinguish Arethusa from Alexander the Great’s mermaid. Both women were tormented by a great deprivation’, (…), the deprivation of freedom”. (Giorgos Seferis)
