Attik was a Greek composer, songwriter and singer of the first half of the 20th Century.

Attik was born Cleon Triantafyllou, on April 1, 1885, in Athens. He wrote the words and music of many elafra songs of the pre-World War II era, including "Μαραμένα Τα Γιούλια", "Τα Καϋμένα Τα Νιάτα" (poor youth), etc.

Shortly before his death on August 29, 1944, Attik starred in a quasi-autobiographical film entitled "Χειροκροτήματα" (Applause).
