Platon Eustathios Drakoulis or Drakoules (Greek: Πλάτων Δρακούλης; Ithaca, Greece 1858 – United Kingdom, 1934)[1][note 1] was a Greek socialist politician. Drakoulis, once a lecturer at Oxford University, was one of the pioneers of the socialist labour movement in Greece. An energetic agitator and the most prominent figure in the nascent socialist movement, Drakoulis founded the Workers League of Greece. In August 1910, he was one of ten socialists elected to the national parliament and cooperated with the political party of Eleftherios Venizelos.[2] He supported Greece's war efforts during the first world war.[3] He was married to Alice Marie Lambe, widow of William Lewis (d. 1907).
