PAVLOS ANDRONIKOS

A Very Brief But Illustrated Autobiography ☺

 Pavlos Andronikos

I was born in Cyprus, grew up in London, and migrated to Australia to teach Greek at the University of New England in Armidale, New South Wales. That was in 1981. Prior to that I’d been a grammar-school boy, an apprentice mechanic, a washer of dishes, a waiter, a KFC cook, a motorcyclist, a van-driver, a diesel mechanic, a factory worker, and a student.

In 1983 I moved to Melbourne to assume responsibility for Greek at Monash University. When I left Monash, I had been head of (modern) Greek there for twenty years.
