Χριστοφέλης

In 1962, Άκος Δασκαλόπουλος distinguished himself in a poetry competition. The prize was for Mikis Theodorakis to set the lyrics to music. The song was "Μέσα Στα Μαύρα Σου Κυρά Μου Τα Μαλλιά" ("Mesa Sta Mavra Sou Kyra Mou Ta Mallia") and it was first heard in the play "Omorfi Poli" ("Beautiful City") by Mikis Theodorakis in 1962. For this 1st song of his, with which he first appeared in the Greek discography in the same year, he used the pseudonym Christofelis.
