Modern Greek literature is often overlooked, with readers of classic literature around the world well-versed on Homer, Socrates, Aristotle and other greats but not aware of other greats with the exception of legendary Nobel Prize winners like George Seferis (1963) and Odysseus Elytis (1978), as well as Nikos Kazantzakis. In an effort to change all that, the Hellenic Authors’ Society issued the Greek Writers anthology to acquaint English-speaking audiences with the work of Greek authors and deepend their understanding of Modern Greek literature.
