Andreas Nenedakis (1918-2006) was born in Rethymno, Crete from a family of fighters, who were active in Crete, Epirus and Macedonia. In 1938 he settled in Athens. During World War II he served in the Middle East, fought in the Battle of El Alamein and in 1944 was sentenced to death for his participation in the Middle East movement. Until 1952 he lived in a state of persecution and imprisonment. He first appeared in literature in 1941 with the publication of verses in the newspaper Niki. In 1954 he published the journal Bir Hakim, followed by prose, studies and articles in newspapers and magazines.
