Event Details

Born in Melbourne to Greek parents, Olympia Panagiotopoulos comes from a long line of storytellers who inspired in her a love of folklore, myths and legends. She was an imaginative child who hopped, skipped and jumped in and out of different worlds.

Themes of identity and belonging are central to her writing and she is a strong advocate for celebrating bold female characters – in story and in everyday life. Her debut memoir, Beneath the Fig Leaves, is a vibrant and compelling tribute to her heritage and parents' journey.
