Vitsentzos Kornaros is the greatest of all the the Cretan poets and one of the most significant and influential figures in the entire course of Greek poetry. He was the son of a Venetian - Cretan aristocrat and was born near Sitia, Crete in 1553. Later, when he married, he came to live in Candia (now Iraklion) where he joined the Academia dei Stravaganti. Kornaros died in about 1617, an exact contemporary of William Shakespeare. "Erotokritos" sets great store by true love, friendship, courage and patriotism, and this is the reason for its later popularity all over Greece. It was a great source of inspiration for Dionisios Solomos and influenced Greek poets as diverse as Kostis Palamas, Kristallis and Seferis. |
