Maro Douka (Greek: Μάρω Δούκα) (b. 1947, Chania, Crete, Greece) is an acclaimed Greek novelist. She has lived in Athens since 1966 and she studied History and Archaeology at the University of Athens.[1] She belongs to the so-called Genia tou 70, which is a literary term referring to Greek authors who began publishing their work during the 1970s; her debut work, Η Πηγάδα, based on her imprisonment in 1967 by the Military Junta, was published in 1974, just a few months after the Metapolitefsi.
