Stavrianos Vistiaris
Stavrianos Vistiaris (Template:Lang-el, 16th-17th century), was a Greek poet born in the village of Malcani,[1] in modern Sarande District, a region of Albania that Greeks refer to as Northern Epirus.
He became renowned because of his extensive epic poem: Braveries of the noble and valiant voevode Michael (Template:Lang-el).[2] The poem was written around 1602 in a medieval Greek dialect; at the time Vistiaris was working at the court of the ruler of Wallachia, Michael the Brave.
The work describes the personality and life of the Wallachian ruler.
