Dionysios Solomos (1798-1857) is Greece's national poet. His major
works, written during and after the Greek War of Independence,
pivot round the themes of Freedom, the Greek Orthodox Faith, and
Motherland. His Hymn to Liberty (1823) became the Greek national
anthem. Caught in the mainstream of European Romanticism, Solomos
is a cross-cultural bridge, which spans 19th century Romantic
Europe with the nascent Greek state.Lambros is a long poem, which
the poet revised from 1824 to 1834. The story, set a few years
before the Greek revolution describes how Lambros, a freedom
warrior and a victim of his own personal choices, believes that
Somebody who does as he pleases has trapped him and is leading him
to destruction. Lambros could be seen as Solomos' Greek Orthodox
answer to the ineluctable nature of classic tragedy or the
exaltation of the rebel as a hero.
