Napoleone Lapathiotis (1888-1944), amante delle letterature e delle arti, è un singolare esempio di esteta nel panorama letterario greco all'inizio del XX secolo. Ispirato da Oscar Wilde, ha cercato di vivere la sua vita come un'opera d'arte, ma la fine è stata tragica a causa dei suoi problemi personali e del complesso contesto storico. La sua opera letteraria (poesie, racconti, poesie in prosa), sebbene convenzionale per quanto riguarda la forma, rispecchia le contraddizioni della sua vita e personalità.
