Biography

Sarros was born in 1869[1] or 1870 in Vitsa of Zagori.[2][3] He graduated from the Zosimaia School of Ioannina and later from the Philosophical School of the University of Athens.[1][2][3] He initially was appointed as a teacher to a school of Piraeus (1897).[1][2] He later taught in Larnaca and in the Pancyprian Gymnasium of Nicosia.[1] In 1902 he was appointed as a teacher to Serres and Alexandroupoli, where he got involved with the Macedonian Committee and became an active member of the Macedonian Struggle.[1][2] Later, he served as a teacher in the Phanar Greek Orthodox College, the Joachimio Greek Girls' School of Constantinople and in Thessaloniki.[2][3] He was also a member of the Greek Philological Society of Constantinople (Ελληνικός Φιλολογικός Σύλλογος) and contributed as a kudge and rapporteur in literary and folklore competitions of the philological magazine of the Society.[2] At the same time, he developed nationalistic actions, as in 1912 he organized the first congress of teachers of the enslaved Hellenism of Asia Minor and attended a Great National Assembly, thus being expelled and imprisoned by the Ottoman authorities.[2] After the Asia Minor Catastrophe, he taught in Corfu and later in Kallithea.[3] In 1926 he became an educational advisor of the Greek Ministry of Religious Affairs and Education until 1935.[1][3]
