„Dimitris Liantinis (Greek: Δημήτρης Λιαντίνης, also transliterated as Dimitris Liadinis; born 23 July 1942, disappeared 1 June 1998) was a Greek philosopher, writer and Deputy Professor of Philosophy in the areas of Education of Ancient and New Greek Literature at the University of Athens. He has written 8 books with the last being Gemma (Γκέμμα). A great lover of Ancient Greek culture, he devoted his life in studying and reinterpreting their cultural heritage. He wrote about various subjects like morality and death. He emphasised the need of incorporating the Ancient Greek ideas and morals into the modern Greek education system and also held explicit views on the decline of western culture. He has achieved popularity in Greece because of his strange and unexplained disappearance in the morning of 1.6. 1998 at the age of 56 years. It is thought that he committed suicide in 1998 on the mountains of Taygetos. His last university lecture was delivered on 27 May 1998. In his letter to his family he wrote I go away by my own will. I disappear standing, strong, and proud.“ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimitris_Liantinis
