Giannis Motzios was born in 1930 in the village of Despotis (Snihovo) Grevena. From 1947 to 1949, he was a fighter in the Democratic Army of Greece, and from 1949 a political refugee in the USSR. He studied Philology at the Universities of Tashkent and Kyiv, and pursued postgraduate studies at the Institute of World Literature of the Academy of Sciences in Moscow, specializing in Modern Greek Literature.
He was a permanent scientific collaborator at the Institute of World Literature, the first to be hired in Russia (and the USSR) for the study of Modern Greek Literature, and his two monographs, "The Literature of the National Resistance 1940-45 in Greece" and "The Greek Literature of the 20th Century," are the first in the history of that country.
He repatriated to Greece in 1976, and from 1980 to 1997 served as a professor at the University of Crete and the University of Ioannina, and taught Greek literature at the University of Sofia.
Since 2013, he has organized four "Trans-Balkan Philological Poetry Conferences," where approximately 100 presentations on Greek poetry from Homer to 1950 were made from the Greek side. He participated with lectures and presentations in conferences in the republics of the USSR, in Greece, Bulgaria, Hungary, Turkey, and Serbia.
At the State University of Sofia, he organized the first international philological conference on "The Novels of Nikos Kazantzakis." Under his translation and editing, works of Solomos, Palamas, Kazantzakis, and other Greek writers were published for the first time in Russian and Ukrainian. His works have been published in Greek, Russian, Georgian, English, French, Serbian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, Hungarian, and Romanian.
