'''Kostas Krystallis''' was a [[Greeks|Greek]] writer and poet of the 19th century.

Krystallis was born in [[Syrrako]], [[Epirus]] - the birthplace of PM [[Ioannis Koletis]] - in [[1868]]. In [[1880]], he moved to [[Ioannina]] where he attended the Zosimas School. Seven years later, he published his first work "Shades of Hades" which recounted stories of the Greek [[War of Independence]] of [[1821]]. Because of this, he was persecuted by the Ottoman authorities of [[Epirus]] and had to flee to independent [[Greece]]. He was tried in abstentia and sentenced to 25 years in exile.

In [[Athens]], he worked in a publishing house while writing poetry. In [[1891]], he was hired as an editor for a magazine called "Evdomas" but he quit within a year due to inability to get along with management. He then worked on the rail roads but came down with tuberculosis and died in [[1894]] at his sister's house in [[Arta]].

Krystallis' early works were heavily influenced by [[Aristotle Valaoritis]]. Later, he changed adopting the common [[demotic]] version of the [[Greek language]] and showing the influence of the "New Athenian School" of literature - of which [[Kostis Palamas]] was the prime representative - in his works.
