Konstantinos Nikolopoulos was born in Smyrna in 1786, originating from Andritsaina on his father’s side. He studied to become a teacher in Bucharest and he went to Paris when he was 20. He stayed worked there until the end of his life. He taught private lessons, while also teaching Greek literature at “Atheneum”. An active and the multifaceted intellectual, he was caught up and distinguished in many areas. He was involved in poetry and music and his name is even found in the "International Biography of Musicians". He spoke 4 languages, wrote articles in magazines, wrote book reviews and from 1819 to 1821 published the magazine "Melissa". He was a member of the Ionian Academy, the "Hellenic Society" and the Literary Society of Paris, and was also appointed a librarian at the Library of the Institute of France and a contributor to the Encyclopedia of Paris. From his position as a man of letters, Nikolopoulos tried to contribute to the revolutionary and post-revolutionary fermentations of Greece. He published chants and odes, most importantly "Ode to the Spring" dedicated to Kapodistrias, fight songs, hymns and admonitions to the struggling Greeks and Grecophiles. As a frantic collector, he created a great private library, which he donated in 1838 by letter to the municipality of Andritsaina. He died in Paris in 1841, without ever having visited his father's birthplace.
