Konstantinos Chatzopoulos

Died in 1920

Konstantinos Chatzopoulos, born in Agrinio in 1868, the eldest of seven children in a family of landowners, took a law degree in Athens and set up as a lawyer in his home town in 1891, before giving it up two years later for literature. His share of the inheritance was used to found a literary review. From 1900 he divided his life between Athens and Germany, where he married a Finnish woman and discovered socialism, of which he was one of the first adherents in Greece; he translated Goethe and Ibsen. He died at sea in July 1920, on the boat bringing him back from Munich.
