Demetris Lipertis

Demetris Lipertis was born in 1866 in Larnaca and studied English and French in Beirut, from 1880 to 1884. A clerk at the courts of his town, then a paymaster for public works, an inspector of vine diseases and a coastguard, he came to know the countryside of the island in this way. After stays in Egypt, Naples and Athens, he returned in 1901 and taught French, notably at the Pancyprian Gymnasium. France made him an officier d'Académie. He died in Nicosia in 1937.
