'''Dionysios Solomos''' (greek: Διονύσιος Σολωμός) ([[1798]]-[[1857]]) was a [[Greece|Greek]] poet from [[Zakynthos]]. He is best known for writing the poem "[[Hymn to Freedom]]" (''Imnos pros tin Eleftherian'') in [[1823]], of which the first two [[stanza]]s became the Greek [[national anthem]]. Tradition has it that the poem was inspired by the Siege of [[Mesolonghi]] during the Greek [[War of Independence]].

He was born in [[1798]] to a wealthy family, and in [[1808]] he went to Italy, where he studied law. After 10 years he returned to [[Zakynthos]] with a solid background in literature. Solomos became famous as a poet during this time, while still a young man.

At the end of [[1828]] he left Zakynthos and settled in [[Kerkyra]] ("Corfu") in order to dedicate himself to poetry. When he returned from Italy he brought back with him poems of religious content. He later wrote sonnets. His first long poem was the ''Hymn to Freedom''.

Solomos died in [[February]] [[1857]] from apoplexy. His remains were transferred to Zakynthos in [[1865]].
