Platon Eustathios Drakoulis or Drakoules (el|Πλάτων Δρακούλης; 1858 – 27 May 1942)[1] was a Greek socialist politician. He worked as a lecturer at Oxford University and 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] Drakoulis was a founder of the Greek Anti-Carnivore society and married English humanitarian and animal welfare campaigner Alice Marie Lambe, in 1907.[4]
