..."Αυτό το λόγο θα σας πω
δεν έχω άλλον κανένα,
μεθύστε με τ΄ αθάνατο
κρασί του Εικοσιένα!"
Κωστής Παλαμάς
Writer, philosopher and diplomat & a leading figure of the Macedonian Struggle and an ardent support of the Demotic Greek language, Ion (Ioannis) Dragoumis was murdered in Athens (opposite the today Hilton Hotel) hours after the assassination attempt on his political opponent E. Venizelos in Paris.
Instigator of his murder is considered to be Emmanouil Benakis, former minister of Venizelos and later to be declared 'national benefactor'. (Benakis was the father of the author Penelope Delta, with who Dragoumis has a passionate affair for several years, until he met the actress Marika Kotopouli with whom he remained until his death. )
At the point of his assassination there is today a white column standing with the verses of Kostis Palamas, the celebrated Greek poet:
«Λευκή, ας βαλθή όπου έπεσες, κολώνα,
(Πώς έπεσες, γραφή να μην το λέει)
λευκή, με της Πατρίδας την εικόνα.
Μόνο εκείνη ταιριάζει να σε κλαίει,
βουβή, μαρμαρωμένη να σε κλαίει.»
«Νεκρική Ωδή», Κωστής Παλαμάς
(8 Αυγ. 1920) εις μνήμην του I. Δραγούμη
