'''Cybele Adrianou''' or '''Kyveli Adrianou''' or plain '''Kyveli''' ([[1888]] - [[1978]]) was a Greek stage actress of the first half of the 20th Century, the great competitor of [[Marika Kotopouli]].

Kyveli's place of birth is uncertain. Her mother was from [[Smyrna]] (Izmir), [[Asia Minor]] but at age 2 she was adopted out of an [[Athens]] orphanage by Anastasios and Maria Adrianou, a working class couple. She attended Hill School for Girls and did some reciting that earned her an award in [[1901]]. At that point she was discovered by [[Konstantinos Christomanos]] who took her under his wing. Christomanos gave Kyveli her start in acting and became her teacher, mentor and second father.

Form [[1901]] until [[1906]], Kyveli acted in ancient Greek tragedies playing in "Alcestis" by [[Euripides]] and "Antigone" by [[Sophocles]]. She went on to play Tolstoy, Ibsen and others.

By the [[1920s]], Kyveli took to acting in plays written mostly by Greek authors: [[Pantelis Horn]], [[Grigorios Xenopoulos]], [[Spiros Melas]]. She becomes the chief competitor of [[Marika Kotopouli]] the other great Greek stage actress of that era. Their antagonism is not limited to the acting arena: Kyveli is a [[Venizelism|Venizelist]], Kotopouli a conservative.
However, the two legendary actresses are forced to join forces to compete with the National Theatre: They play G.B. Shaw, O' Neill and Schiller.

By [[1934]], Kyveli has stopped acting. [[World War II]] comes and she accompanies her then husband, [[Georgios Papandreou]] into exile in Egypt.

After the war, Kyveli staged a theatre comeback in [[1950]] and continues playing sporadically in the National Theatre and in the Public Theatre of Northern Greece until [[1965]]. She died in [[1978]].

Kyveli had been married three times:
*First to [[Mitsos Myrat]] ([[1903]] - [[1906]]) with whom she had two children, Alexandros and actress Miranda.
*To Kostas Theodoridis with whom she had a daughter, Aliki.
*To Georgios Papandreou the politician and future Prime Minister of Greece. They had a son, Giorgos, half-brother to [[Andreas Papandreou]]. The couple lived apart shortly after the [[Second World War]] but never divorced. When Papandreou died in November of [[1968]], it was Kyveli who paid all the funeral expenses.
