Helle Lambridis (Greek: Έλλη Λαμπρίδη; 22 January 1896 – 28 January 1970), also spelled Helle Lampride or Elli Lambridi, was a Greek philosopher who wrote extensively in the fields of ancient and modern philosophy. She also wrote on archaeology, wrote fiction and produced translations. She was also an educator and was active in Greek left-wing politics and feminism from an early age. It has been claimed that her prominence in twentieth-century Greek philosophy has "only recently become widely known".[1] Her life and work was celebrated on 8 March 2017 at a talks event in the old Senate chamber of the Parliament of Greece in Athens.[2]
