A quote from encyclopedia about Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis:
Mikis Theodorakis was born on the Greek island of Chios and spent his childhood years in different provincial Greek cities. His father, a lawyer and a civil servant, was from the small village of Kato Galatas, in Crete and his mother, Aspasia Poulakis, was from an ethnically Greek family. He was raised with Greek folk music and was influenced by Byzantine liturgy. As a child he had already talked about becoming a composer. Theodorakis's fascination with music began in early childhood; he taught himself to write his first songs without access to musical instruments. In Patras and Pyrgos he took his first music lessons, and in Tripoli, Peloponnese, he gave his first concert at the age of seventeen. He went to Athens in 1943, and became a member of a Reserve Unit of ELAS, and led a troop in the fight against the British and the Greek right in the Dekemvriana. During the Greek civil war he was arrested, sent into exile on the island of Icaria and then deported to the island of Makroniosos, where he was tortured and twice buried alive.
