Greek Music Express: More poetry set to music – Napoleon Lapathiotis | 21 Feb 2024

Napoleon Lapathiotis is one of the cursed figures of Greek literature, considered an important poet of the neo-symbolist and neo-romantic schools. In his early poems he is influenced by aestheticism and sensualism, while in his last poems he ends up in desperate and melancholic tones, dominated by the feeling of nostalgia. Today, we are listening to poetry of Lapathiotis set to music by, among others, Stavros Kougioumtzis, Dimitris Maramis, Nikos Mamagakis, Stella Gadedi and Nikos Ziogalas.
