Biography
Biography
An Arvanite, Pallis had lived in Manchester from 1869 to 1875, in India from 1875 to 1894, then in Liverpool until his death. He subsidized from abroad much of the literary and scholarly output in demotic Greek from 1900 until the First World War, including his own translations of Homer. Pallis considered it was "common sense" that John the Baptist was a vegetarian. The politician and historian Alexandros Anastasios Pallis (1883–1975), the ecologist Marietta Pallis, and the Tibetan traveller Marco Pallis were his children.
