Emmanuel Rhoides

Died in 1904

Emmanuel Rhoides, born in Ermoupoli, on the island of Syros, on 28 June 1836, belonged to a family of Hellenized Genoese merchants. He grew up in Genoa, where his father represented the family firm, then studied in Germany and Italy before settling in Athens. The ruin of his father's fortune forced him to live by his pen and by the National Library, which he directed and had to leave because of his pamphlets. Deaf from an early age, he made the newspaper his field and became the most feared polemicist of his time. He translated Chateaubriand and Macaulay into Greek, and died in Athens on 7 January 1904.
