Yorgos Psichountakis

THE MESSENGER OF HOMER

Now, here is a spirited man that emulates Homer and Cornaros. He was a talented folk artist and natural poet, a self-educated scholar of the ancient Greek language and expert on the Iliad and Homer.

"Yorgos Psychountakis has been known as 'The Cretan Runner'. A brave man who helped communicate messages between Greek and allied forces on Crete during the Second World War. He is not only skilled in spinning rhymes, he is also very articulate with the Cretan dialect. Two years following the publication of his "Iliad" and eighteen years from the publication of his "Odyssey", his descriptive powers and particular mode of expression shall remain with us for ever . . ."
