Pavlos Liasides

Pavlos Liasides was born on 23 March 1901 in Lysi, in the Famagusta region, to a poor peasant family. He left school after the first few classes and worked as a shepherd, seasonal labourer and gardener. He began around 1921 as an improvising folk poet, published in the Limassol press and then in the island's journals, and gradually forged a style of his own. A refugee in Larnaca after 1974, he died there on 29 September 1985.
