Michael
Llewellyn-Smith was born in 1939. He was educated at Wellington College at
Crowthorne, Berkshire, a public school founded in memory of the Great Duke of
Wellington, and at New College, Oxford University, where he studied classics,
ancient history and philosophy. He went on to obtain a D Phil at St Antony’s
College Oxford, for his doctoral thesis on the Greek occupation of Smyrna
(Izmir) and western Asia Minor in 1919-22.
He is the
author of four books with themes in Greek history and culture. The Great
Island is a book about the history, culture and folklore of the island of
Crete, reflecting his travels and researches there in the early 1960s (travels
with a donkey!). Ionian Vision: Greece in Asia Minor 1919-1922 is the
story of Greece’s ill-fated venture into Asia Minor, ending with the
destruction of Smyrna and the end of the ancient Greek communities of Asia
Minor. Olympics in Athens 1896: the Invention of the Modern Olympic Games
is the story of how the young Greek state and the city of Athens developed
rapidly to a point at which they found it possible to host successfully the
first modern Games. Athens: a Cultural and Literary History presents the
life and culture of the city of Athens across the centuries, explaining how the
modern city copes with its ancient heritage.
