Can you tell us some modern Greeks (1815-now) that they're underappreciated/underrated in your opinion?

If you mean internationally, many are. If you mean in the country, again many are because Greeks nowadays don't care about history or influential historical figures a lot...

Many of the heroes, the warriors of 1821. Theodoros Kolokotronis, Georgios Karaiskakis, Nikitaras, Odysseus Androutsos, Laskarina Bouboulina, Manto Mavroyenous, Konstantinos Kanaris, Rigas Velenstinlis and many more. These are the most important type of people that deserve more recognition IMO. Without them, Greece would simply have not become an independent state but also the Greek Revolution was a seminal event in modern European history and in the rise of nation-states so if you really think about it, they unintentionally led to a chain of events that wasn't just about Greece.

From politicians, Greece is so associated with incompetent and corrupt politicians that it would come as a surprise that it had a few politicians of unprecedented skill like Ioannis Kapodistrias and Eleftherios Venizelos, even Charilaos Trikoupis for his reforms and integrity of character.

From scientists, Georgios Papanikolaou (Dr Pap, inventor of the Pap smear test) and Constantine Caratheodory (Einstein's teacher).

From writers and poets, the nobelists George Seferis and Odysseus Elytis, but also Alexandros Papadiamantis, Yannis Ritsos, Nikos Kavvadias, Constantine Cavafy, Dionysius Solomos. (Nikos Kazantzakis is already well known, for Greek standards always.)

From artists, Yannis Tsarouchis, Yannis Moralis, Nikos Engonopoulos, Nikephoros Lytras, Nikolaos Gyzis, Georgios Iakovidis, Fotis Kontoglou and Alekos Fasianos.

From sculptors, Yannoulis Chalepas.

From musicians, God take this pc from me. Everyone knows that's my weak spot. Let's start from a top 5: Mikis Theodorakis, Manos Hatzidakis, Markos Vamvakaris, Vassilis Tsitsanis, Stavros Xarchakos plus an entechno bonus of Dionysis Savvopoulos and Thanassis Papakonstantinou and then it's a slippery slope from there.  I know some of them are well known for Greek standards but they should be more known >:(

From actors, about half of the ones I mention in this recent post.
