Giannis Ritsos was born in 1909 and 1990 in Monemvasia buried there.
was between a life filled with his artistic and poetic work and vouch for his idea of justice as a member of the KKE, in addition, several stock stays were in the resistance against German occupation, against the Greek rights in the civil war and the colonel junta 1967-74 .
In Benaki Museum in Athens there in the attic a small permanent exhibition of touching personal belongings of Giannis Ritsis awards, prizes, medals which were awarded to him.
Here you will find a list of German editions of his work (you can borrow Greek to me).

Hypothek
Ich glaube an die Poesie, den Eros, den Tod.
Genau darum glaube ich an die Unsterblichkeit.
Ich schreibe einen Vers, ich schreibe die Welt.
Ich existiere, es existiert die Welt.
Aus der Spitze meines kleinen Fingers rinnt ein Fluss.
Der Himmel ist sieben mal blau.
Diese Reinheit ist wieder die erste Wahrheit.
My last wish.
