Jean MorEas[zhAN mOrAAs´] Pronunciation Key, 1856–1910, French poet, b. Athens. His name was originally Iannis Papadiamantopoulos. He went to Paris in 1872. He wrote two volumes of symbolist verse, Les Syrtes (1884) and Le PElerin passionnE (1891). With the publication of Enone au clair visage (1894) and Eriphyle (1894), MorEas returned to classical style, and in Les Stances (1899–1901) and his play IphigEnie (1903) he clearly reacted against the new movements in poetry.
