In the realm where numbers dance with words, Theodoros Dalmaris emerges not just as a mathematician but a maestro of poetic symphony. Born in the picturesque Thana, Tripolis, his journey from the intricacies of mathematics to the vast landscapes of literature is a testament to the multifaceted nature of his intellectual pursuits.
Dalmaris’ academic sojourn led him through the hallowed halls of the University of Athens, where the seeds of his analytical mind were sown. For 15 years, he nurtured young minds as the owner of a private tutoring school, leaving an indelible mark on the educational landscape. However, his narrative transcends the classroom, venturing into the editorial realm as one of the architects of the monthly magazines ‘Orientation’ and ‘Political Criterion,’ where he lent his voice to social and political discourse.
A marriage to Despena Rizoglou and the joys of fatherhood with three children and six grandchildren added nuanced strokes to his canvas of life. In 2015, he unfurled his literary wings, dipping his pen into the inkwell of poetry. The ensuing years saw him not merely participating but conquering in national and international poetry competitions, clinching an impressive array of 10 first prizes for his verses.
Dalmaris’ poetic landscape unfolds in published collections that bear witness to his profound contemplations. ‘Prometheus,’ a magnum opus spanning 343 pages, captures the essence of his intellectual Prometheus, bringing the fire of enlightenment to readers. ‘Ode to freedom to Greece and to the Ecumen,’ a poetic symphony translated into English, intertwines with classical music, echoing the spirit of liberation.
In ‘Woman, the first being in the universe and the first slave,’ Dalmaris delves into the cosmic role of women, juxtaposing their celestial significance with the historical shadows of subjugation. The collection spans 375 pages, each verse a testament to the resilience and strength of the feminine spirit.
‘Ethical continuation, space-time, Sisyfos and Meropi,’ another opulent offering with 423 pages, unveils the intricacies of ethical contemplation. The cosmic dance of space-time merges with the mythical echoes of Sisyphus and Meropi, creating a tapestry that challenges the boundaries of conventional thought.
A forthcoming poetry collection, ‘Prayer to our inner potential God of light,’ beckons readers to embark on a spiritual journey, exploring the divine potential within. In ‘Happiness or unhappiness to be Greek,’ a prose venture spanning 300 pages, Dalmaris navigates the complexities of identity, inviting readers to ponder the essence of Greek existence.
Theodoros Dalmaris, a polymath in the truest sense, beckons readers to traverse the corridors of his mind, where numbers and verses converge, creating a harmonious blend of intellect and emotion. As he continues to pen his literary symphony, the world eagerly awaits the next movement in this poetic odyssey.
