Penelope Delta was a pioneer of children's literature in Greece and perhaps the most important Greek woman in turbulent times for Hellenism, with a rich philanthropic activity. Born in Alexandria (Egypt), she was the daughter of Emmanuel Benakis, later mayor of Athens and national benefactor, and wife of the Phanariot merchant Stéfanos Deltas. She became a close friend of the leading statesman of the time, Eleftherios Venizelos, and had a passionate platonic romance with Ion Dragoumis.
Encouraged by the poet Kostis Palamas, Penelope Delta wrote historical novels for children, with themes related to contemporary national issues (In the Heroic Age of Basil II: Emperor of Byzantium, For the Good of the Fatherland, The Secrets of the Swamp), as well as other books, including A Tale Without a Name, Trelantonis, Mangas and The Life of Christ. She aspired, as she herself said, to "awaken noble and high ideals in Greek children", instilling in them values such as patriotism, friendship and love. Generations of Greek children have been raised on her books, which remain popular. Penelope Delta took her own life when the Nazis entered Athens in 1941.
