Napoleon Lapathiotis (; 31 October 1888 â 7 January 1944) was a Greek poet.
Biography
Born in Athens, he began writing and publishing poetry when he was eleven. In 1907, along with others, he established the Igiso (Ἡó÷ÃÂÃÂ) magazine, in which he published his works. In 1909, he graduated from the law school of the University of Athens. His only book of poems while alive was published in 1939; in 1964, Aris Diktaios published his poems posthumously.
