Biography
Kyriakos Kassis was born in the Palyro of Mani, and raised in the land of Laconia. In 1958, at the age of twelve, he went to Athens in order to continue his education. In 1964, he joined the Legal Faculty of the University of Athens (Legal, Political and Economic Study). Between 1971 and 1973 he attended the Stavrakou Faculty for film making (studying Script and Directing), as well as concerning the art of Greek animation. He also attended in 1978 seminars concerning the preservation of fresco and wall paintings. In 1970 he had a role in the editing of the historical dictionary of the Academy of Athens. Kassis donated a part of his linguistic research regarding the dialect of Mani to the linguistic arm of the Academy of Athens.
As of 2013, Kassis has made two discographic works: Maniatika, in 1980 for the Lyra company; and Doric Odes in 1999, in which Alkistis Protopsalti and Nikolas Mitsovoleas sang vocals. In these songs, the music and lyric frame Kassis' Mani municipal identity, some of the songs being entirely his own.
