Epameinontas Deligiorgis (1829-1879). Epameinondas Deligeorgis (Greek: Επαμενόντας Δεληγιώργης) (1829 - 1879) was a Greek lawyer, newspaper reporter and politician from Mesolonghi. Deligeorgis studied law at Athens University and entered politics in 1854. He was not a proponent of the Megali Idea (Great Idea) and thought that a better solution to the Eastern Question would be to improve the condition of the Greeks living in Ottoman-controlled Macedonia, Epirus, Thrace and Asia Minor by liberalising the Ottoman Empire. Deligeorgis was the person who, on October 10, 1862, declared the end of the reign of King Otto and the convening of a national assembly.
