Takis Tsiakos (Greek: Τάκης Τσιάκος, 1909–1997) was a Greek poet, representative of the poetic style of Kostis Palamas.
Tsiakos was born in Gjirokastër, modern southern Albania.[1] In 1930 he moved to Ioannina, Greece, where he made his literary appearance writing lyrics in columns of local newspapers as well as in widely known Greek magazines. In 1936 he published his first collection named 'Extinguished echo' (Greek: Σβησμένη Ηχώ).[1] His work was ifluenced by the national character of Kostis Palamas' poetry, something that was commonly found among the Greek poets from Northern Epirus.[1] Later Takis Tsiakos became the vice president of the Board of the Association of Greek Litterateurs.[2]
