In this article, an examination is made of the known texts of non-demotic, printed and manuscript folk poetry which originate from Samos and date from the 19th and 20th centuries. The texts are organized by category and their content examined, as are the poets themselves, who are sometimes familiar from other sources, together with their ideological origins. Finally, on the basis of these texts, certain conclusions are drawn as regards the subject matter and style of folk poetry on Samos, as well as the broader historical conditions which brought about the composition of the poems and defined their content.
