About

* 21.05.1928, Athens, Greece
lives in: Athens, Greece

Titos Patrikios (b. 1928 in Athens, Greece) was a resistance fighter during the Second World War, escaping execution in 1944 by a hair's breadth. In 1954 he started his own magazine, in which he published literary criticism. During the military dictatorship (1967-1974) he suffered political persecution, was forced to flee. He lived for several years in exile in Paris, where he had studied sociology from 1959-1964, and in Italy. After his return, he worked as a lawyer, sociologist and translator, including a leading position for the Institut Français in Athens.

"As long as memory lives in me, I will return," is how Patrikios describes working-out in his writing of his experiences of resistance, banishment and exile that have determined and marked his life and work. This committed political poet and sensitive explorer of the reality of everyday life and emotions combines in his poetry sharply-focussed critical observations with the dreams of someone who has suffered much but not lost courage.
