Athanasios Christopoulos (Greek: Αθανάσιος Χριστόπουλος; 2 May 1772 – 19 January 1847) was a celebrated Greek poet, a distinguished scholar and jurist. He has been proclaimed a champion of the modern Greek demotic and the forerunner of the national poet Dionysios Solomos. More importantly he is the first modern Greek poet to have his works - the Lyrika - published and read across a broad section of the European continent.
