Historyedit
Dionysios Solomos (April 8, 1798 - February 9, 1857) was a Greek poet born in Zakynthos. Among his most important works is the "Hymn to Liberty", the first two stanzas of which are part of the Greek national anthem. In 1828, he moved to Corfu to become a poet.[4] He has been interred in the mausoleum since 1968.[3]
Andreas Kalvos (April 1, 1792 - November 3, 1869) was born in Zakynthos (under the rule of the Venetian Republic). He published five volumes of poetry and drama.[5]
