Simeon Khorshidesi, (-1191, ?) was a farmer in Athens.
Simeon believed in Shamanism.
He lived a life of absolute poverty. Eating or sleeping in a safe place was a constant struggle. He lived as an outcast. To tell the truth, in Athens, he gained the trust or the friendship of no one. He was seen as a true poet, and legends says that he couldn't live without reading and writing. Years after, some of the works Simeon made are still enjoyed and sometimes studied. He was force of nature, and people saw in their body and beauty the incarnation of a god. He was iron-willed, achieving any goal he set.
