Life
Odysseus Elytis was born in 1911 on the Greek island of Crete. The family later moved to Athens. After finishing his secondary school studies there, Elytis studied law at the University of Athens. He immediately attracted attention when he published his poems in the magazine Nea Grammata (New Culture) in the 1930s. Elytis took part in World War II, fighting against Mussolini’s troops in Albania. When the Greek military junta seized power in his native country in 1967, he chose to take up residence in Paris, where he became acquainted with several artists and writers. When the dictatorship fell in 1974, he returned to Greece.

Work
In the poetry of Odysseus Elytis, influences of surrealism meet traditional Greek literature. The sun plays a central role in his early works. His poems celebrate light, the turquoise sea, the rocky landscape and the ancient ruins of Elytis’ native country. Elytis’ experiences during World War II introduced a darker element into his poetic world. One of his most prominent works is Axion esti (1959) (It Is Worthy), in which poetry and prose intermingle as in old Byzantine liturgy.

生平
奥德修斯-埃利蒂斯于1911年出生在希腊克里特岛上。后来全家搬到了雅典。在那里完成中学学业后，Elytis在雅典大学学习法律。20世纪30年代，他在《新文化》杂志上发表了他的诗作，立即引起了人们的注意。Elytis参加了第二次世界大战，在阿尔巴尼亚与墨索里尼的军队作战。1967年，当希腊军政府在他的祖国夺取政权时，他选择在巴黎居住，在那里他结识了一些艺术家和作家。1974年独裁政权垮台后，他回到了希腊。

作品
在奥德修斯-埃利蒂斯的诗歌中，超现实主义的影响与传统希腊文学相遇。太阳在他的早期作品中起着核心作用。他的诗歌赞美光线、碧绿的大海、岩石景观和埃利蒂斯祖国的古代遗迹。Elytis在二战期间的经历为他的诗歌世界引入了更多的黑暗元素。他最突出的作品之一是Axion esti (1959)（它是值得的），其中诗歌和散文交织在一起，如同古老的拜占庭礼仪。
