Athanasiadis-Novas also wrote some poetry and prose under the pen name Georgios Athanas (Γεώργιος Αθάνας).[3] Literary critics found very little in the way of value in his works, but he found some popularity among his detractors, who used them to ridicule his less-than-distinguished political career. The stanza:
- Itan ta stithia sou
- aspra san galata
- kai mou 'leges:
- gargala ta
- Your breasts were
- White as milk
- And you urged me
- "Tickle them!"
gained him the comical nickname "Gargalatas"(tickler). Only after 40 years has it been proven that the fact that he wrote this stanza was an urban legend. It all started from an article of Costas Stamatiou at the newspaper Ta Nea, with the intention to ridicule him. Lefteris Papadopoulos cleared up the situation with an article at the same newspaper in 2004.[4]
He died in Athens on 10 August 1987, aged 94.
