When Yannis Ritsos passed away on November 11, 1990, the world lost one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century.
A prominent and prolific Greek poet with international appeal, Ritsos belonged to the so-called 1930s generation. Epitaphios, Romiosini and Moonlight Sonata are three of his best-known works. In 1975 he was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
