Abstract

The article examines the work and biographies of Romos Filiras and Napoleon Lapathiotis, representatives of the generation of poets from the first decades of the 20th century, considered to be the forerunners of Greek 1920s poetic cosmopolitanism. It also presents an analysis of the ‘hypostases’ of the mask motive in their work. Opinions of literary critics from different university schools regarding the considered authors are compared.
