Odysseas Aggelis

Odysseas Aggelis

Odysseas Aggelis (1912–1987) was Vice President of Greece in 1973, during the "republican" period of the military junta.

He, along with most of those involved in the coup of April 1967, was a member of the Greek military. He held the rank of Lieutenant-General and Commander of the General Staff following the coup. He was responsible, at least officially, for the Army Decree Nr. 13, which banned the musical works of Mikis Theodorakis. In the failed royal counter-coup of December 1968, Aggelis remained loyal to the junta. When George Papadopoulos, leader of the junta, introduced a constitution to make Greece a republic, Aggelis served as his vice president from June 1 1973 to November 25 1973, when Papadopoulos lost power.

Aggelis committed suicide in his prison cell in 1987.
