"Athena Tarsouli"

--- CONTENT ---
Athena Tarsouli (1884 – 1975) was a Greek poet, author, and distinguished painter, with studies of painting in Paris.

Athena Tarsouli was born in Athens and was the daughter of Judge Alexander Pittakos. From a young age he dealt with letters. In 1901 she married Nikos Tarsoulis and then settled with her husband in Paris. They had a daughter, whose early death was the inspiration for her appearance in letters. Athena herself died in Athens from a stroke at the age of 91.

Athena Tarsouli had been honored with the Academy of Athens award for her work Cyprus, but also decades earlier (in 1935) with the Academy's first praise.
