Ο Άγγελος Σικελιανός ήταν ένας από τους μείζονες Έλληνες παραδοσιακούς ποιητές. Το έργο του διακρίνεται από έντονο λυρισμό και ιδιαίτερο γλωσσικό πλούτο.

Angelos Sikelianos was a Greek lyric poet and playwright. His themes include Greek history, religious symbolism as well as universal harmony in poems such as The Moonstruck, Prologue to Life, Mother of God, and Delphic Utterance.

His plays include Sibylla, Daedalus in Crete, Christ in Rome, The Death of Digenis, The Dithyramb of the Rose and Asklepius. Although occasionally his grandiloquence blunts the poetic effect of his work, some of Sikelianos finer lyrics are among the best in Western literature. Every year from 1946 to 1951, he was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature.
