The Drakos family (Greek: Δράκος) is a Greek family that originated from Epirus. The family name first appeared in the 16th century with the Armatolos Poulios Drakos, in a failed Venetian backed revolt in Arta and Epirus. Later, it would appear alongside the main Souliote clans, and later on in the history of the Greek nation.
