The first important turning point in the Greek works of Solomos was the Hymn to Liberty that was completed in May 1823-a poem inspired by the Greek revolution 1821. The poem was at first published in 1824 in occupied Mesolongi and afterwards in Paris in 1825 translated into French and later on in other languages too. This resulted in the poet's fame proliferation outside the Greek borders. Thanks to this poem, Solomos was revered until his death, since the rest of his work was only known to his small circle of admirers and his "students". The Hymn to Liberty inaugurated a new phase in the poet's literary work: this is the time when the poet has finally managed to master the language and is experimenting himself with more complex forms, opening up to new kinds of inspirations and easily leaving aside improvisation. This period resulted in the "Odi eis to thanato tou Lordou Byron" — "Ode to the death of Lord Byron", a poem having many things in common with the Hymn but also many weaknesses, "I Katastrofi ton Psaron" — "Psara's Destruction", "O Dialogos" — "The Dialogue" (referring to the language) and "I Gynaika tis Zakynthos" — "The Woman from Zakynthos".
