Angelos Sikelianos (Greek: ???e??? S??e??a???; 28 March 1884 – 19 June 1951) was a Greek lyric poet and playwright.
His themes include Greek history, religious symbolism as well as universal harmony in poems such as The Moonstruck, Prologue to Life, Mother of God, and Delphic Utterance.
His plays include Sibylla, Daedalus in Crete, Christ in Rome, The Death of Digenis, The Dithyramb of the Rose and Asklepius.
Although occasionally his grandiloquence blunts the poetic effect of his work, some of Sikelianos finer lyrics are among the best in Western literature.
In the six years from 1946 until 1951, he was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature.
