Grigor Prličev

Died in 1893

Grigor Prličev was born in Ohrid on 18 January 1830 and studied at the town's Greek school. He left for Athens in 1849 to study medicine, came back for lack of money, returned in 1858 and switched to literature. Back in Ohrid, he learned the Cyrillic script, argued for a school and a church in the Slavic language and, on the complaint of the Greek bishop, was imprisoned in Debar in 1868. He translated the Iliad, taught in Prilep, Struga and Salonica, among other places, wrote an autobiography published after his death, and died in Ohrid in 1893.
