Miltiades Varvounis ([Μιλτιάδης Βαρβούνης] error: {{lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help)) is a Greek-Polish historian, author, and biographer noted for his publications on the history of Poland.[1][2][3][4][5] He calls himself Graecorum et Polonorum filius (a son of Greeks and Poles).[6][7]
Work
Born in Athens, Greece, in 1980, Varvounis as a historian is attracted to the Romantic school of Historiography.[8] He has published several books, including two books in English - a biography of John III Sobieski and Made in Poland: The Women and Men Who Changed the World, a work about the creativity and larger-than-life achievements of the Polish people.
His work Jan Sobieski: The King Who Saved Europe, the first book in English about John III Sobieski in many years, has educated many readers around the English-speaking world about this famous king, best known for winning the Battle of Vienna against the Ottoman forces commanded by Grand Vizier Kara Mustafa Pasha in 1683.[9] [10] Varvounis' biography of Sobieski has been included in a guide to the best books relating to the history of Poland, published in The Catholic World Report.[11]
Apart from his work, Varvounis is also well known for his harsh criticism against Islam in some of his interviews in Polish and English.[12] [13]
Personal Life
Varvounis lives in Athens. He also spends some time in the Polish towns of Łask and Chojnice as well as in Kaunas, Lithuania.[14]
