Biography

Edison Vihos (or Apollon Marsyas as was his screen name) was an amateur Greek actor and photographer. He became popular playing Dafnis, in Orestis Laskos' film Daphnis and Chloe (1931). It was the first Greek film to feature some nudity, and at that time it was considered scandalous. He played in one more film (Prince of the Tramps (1932)) and he gave up acting. Later he became a photographer, while at some point he was spotted owning a shop with picture frames and other decoration items in Athens. He died in 1994.
