Biography

Myrivilis was born in the village of Sykamineas , on the north coast of the coast of the island of Lesbos , in 1890 .

As often on the coasts of Greece , this is a double settlement ;- an upper village halfway up the steep hill , out of the reach of swift pirate raids , and Skala Sykamineas down on the water's edge for the fishermen .
