Zakynthos:- Dionysios Solomos and the Hymn to Freedom.. Cosmote History celebrates with a documentary (Video)

Dionysios Solomos is considered as our national poet who wrote the Hymn to Freedom. However, there are a number of other reasons that justify this title. He is the first who consciously manages to create in a successful way, a pan-Hellenic language module understood by everyone. His contemporaries and literary critics, treat him as the leader of Modern Greek poetry and as the poet that “has kept Greece in his soul and felt within all kinds of greatness”.

Perhaps we can say a “true” Zakynthioan at heart! The upcoming celebration of the 200 years since the outbreak of the Greek Revolution of 1821 and the War of Independence will be a key historical event: it is both an occasion to recognize the struggles and sacrifices of the Greek people. The Zakynthian, Dionysios Solomos is one of those people.
