A great poet, Manos Eleftherios, has cut.

Lydia Koniordou for his loss

Poet, writer, lyricist and chronicler, intellectual, artist with public speech and presence, Manos Eleftheriou was an emblematic and multifaceted personality, who marked a number of areas of the new Greek culture . Sweet and witty, with outspokenness, humor and wit, immediacy and sincerity, Manos Eleftheriou has expressed the truth of an era. Through his verses, he condensed "the words and the years" of a period of transition for the country. The over 400 songs that he shared on everyone's lips are the great badet of his extensive work. His "Malamatean words" helped us to express through our song our most personal moments: our regret and our joy, the meeting with our neighbor and our solitude. The words of Eleftherios sang solitude, the urban landscape of a society that goes from dictatorship to post-conflict, empty streets and cramped cities, landscapes and their inhabitants

I would like to express my condolences to the family and his family. Our place will sing to him forever.

"Manos Eleftherios was a great poet, literary, lyricist and writer, as well as an active citizen with sensitivities and an important social action.The loss for Greek culture is great, but the work that remains behind him will remind him forever. "

Fofi Gennimata: His work is great, he has honored culture and Greece

" The train leaves at eight o'clock … "Farewell to the Movement of Change at Manos Eleftherios. The great writer, the poet, the democrat. The man of the spirit saw his verses become songs of all great composers and come to the lips of all Greeks. They sang and sang. His work is great, he has honored the culture and Greece. "

Giorgos Kaminis: People with his job do not die

" People with a job like that left by Manos Eleftherios do not die. They will be read and will always be sung because the power of the words and emotions that emerge from the work of Manos Eleftherios gives a distinct substance to the great concepts and ideas that he has embraced throughout his life. Today, however, we also bid farewell to a valued partner. A man who, for 22 years until the last hour, honored "Athens 984" and shared with his listeners his thoughts. "Manos Eleftherios for those who did not know him at the time, that was a lot, too

" Manos Eleftheriou for those who did not know him there were many, too: lyrics – thousands of poems, novels, novels, radio, a sweet and modest presence. Those who have been lucky enough to have met him closely confirm it. The rest, those who knew him from the songs he wrote, his books, radio, became recipients of his wisdom. From the late 1960s, Manos Eleftheriou never stopped shaping the sound and poetics of modern Greece. In his own way but modest but influential, without debate, always linked to the tradition of which he never stopped drawing. A tradition that brought her from her youth to Syros and that never stopped renewing herself. It's not easy to adapt one's offer to words, perhaps because it's indescribable: it could not be otherwise for a man who, with his writings and his words, you made familiar. We will miss it a lot, maybe more. He condemns the heat in his family. "
