'''Kostas Varnalis''' was a [[Greek|Greece]] writer and poet of the 20th Century.

Varnalis was born on [[February 14]], [[1884]], in Pyrgos, Eastern Romelia (now Burgas, Bulgaria). He was educated in Philippoupolis (now Plovdiv) and received a scholarship from the Greek community of Eastern Romelia to study literature in [[Athens]].

In [[1909]], Varnalis was appointed to a teaching post in Greece. He received a scholarship in [[1919]] and received his post-graduate degree in Paris, France. The two years he spent in France changed him radically as a person: Varnalis was deeply moved by the suffering of common people during [[World War I]] and greatly influenced by the October Revolution in Russia. He returned to Greece and acquired the label "leftist" which led to dismissal from his teaching post during the [[Theodoros Pangalos|Pangalos]] dictatorship in [[1925]].

After 1925, Varnalis worked as a newspaper man and translator of classical works by [[Aristophanes]] and [[Euripides]].

In [[1959]], Varnalis received the Lenin Award.

He died on [[December 16]], [[1974]].
