Meet Mikis Theodorakis
Mikis Theodorakis (1925–2021) was a renowned Greek composer, politician, and activist, best known for his iconic film scores, including Zorba the Greek (1964). Born on the island of Chios, he was deeply involved in Greece's political struggles, fighting in the Resistance during World War II and later opposing the military junta (1967–1974). His music blended classical, folk, and contemporary styles, often inspired by Greek poetry. Imprisoned and exiled for his political beliefs, he became a symbol of resistance and democracy. His vast body of work includes symphonies, operas, oratorios, and popular songs, making him a cultural icon in Greece and beyond.
This man was one of the smartest and most brave men, and no other was able to express all the feelings, fear, sorrow and also the beautiful moments in a humans life in songs, like he did. I wanted to share this, to keep his memory alive.
