Athanasios Christopoulos (Χριστόπουλος Aθανάσιος) (1772-1847), Greek poet, was born at Kastoria in Macedonia. He studied at Buda and Padua, and became teacher of the children of the Vlach prince Alexandros Mourouzis. After the fall of that prince in 1811, Christopoulos was employed by Prince Caradja, who had been appointed hospodar of Moldavia and Walachia, in drawing up a code of laws for that country. On the removal of Caradja, he retired into private life and devoted himself to literature. He wrote drinking songs and love ditties which are very popular among the Greeks. He is also the author of a tragedy, of Politika Parallela (a comparison of various systems of government), of translations of Homer and Herodotus, and of some philological works on the connection between ancient and modern Greek. His Hellenika Archaiologemata (Athens, 1853) contains an account of his life. A film was produced about his life : Athanasios Christopoulos , a forgotten poet (Aθανάσιος Xριστόπουλος, ένας λησμονημένος ποιητής) Links Examples of his work in Greek Retrieved parts from "http://en.wikipedia.org/"
