Dimitrios Varis (Greek: Δημήτριος Βάρης, -1821) was a Greek revolutionary and member of the Filiki Eteria.
Biography[]
He was born in Sozopol in the late 19th century. During the Constantinople massacre of 1821, he with his brother, metropolitan of Sozopol Paisios Prikaios, organised a revolt and cooperating with the Bulgarian voivode Antonov they managed to concentrate some thousands participants.[1][2] The revolt, which took place in April 1821 failed, as the battles against the Ottomans between Ahtopol and Sozopol were unsuccessful,[2] resulting in Varis getting killed in action and the massacre of some inhabitants of the region, including the Greek kodjabashi Chatzi-Aslanis and the priest Antonakis Skouloglou.[3]
