Eliza Soutsou was born in
Athens in 1837. She was the daughter of the
Phanariot general
Skarlatos Soutsos and Elpida ("Nadina") A. Kantakouzinou. She received significant education and was distinguished for her broad knowledge of languages. She dealt mainly with translations of which some of them were published in separate books and others in newspapers and magazines of the period. She died unmarried in early January 1887 in Athens from a heart disease that compounded her health from the previous year. Her funeral was held in the presence of the Prime Minister
Charilaos Trikoupis and the Minister of Foreign Affairs
Stephanos Dragoumis while her relative and professor
Ioannis Soutsos gave the funeral oration. ==References==
