Kostas Kartelias is a contemporary Greek poet and lyricist whose work spans written poetry, song texts, and musical-poetic compositions.
He is best known for Odyssea, a modern poetic dialogue with Homer’s Odyssey, which reinterprets the classical myth in a contemporary and existential context.
Kartelias’s writing often blurs the line between written and sung text, emphasizing rhythm, voice, and musical structure.
His work explores themes of journey, identity, memory, and return, connecting classical heritage with modern Greek and Mediterranean sensibilities.
