Athanasios Parios (Greek: Ἀθανάσιος Πάριος; 1722–1813) was a Greek hieromonk who was a notable theologian, philosopher, educator, and hymnographer of his time, and one of the "Teachers of the Nation" during the Modern Greek Enlightenment[citation needed].
He was the second leader of the Kollyvades Movement, succeeding Neophytos Kausokalyvites (1713–1784).
Athanasios was born in Kostos, a small village of Paros, in the year 1722 and died in Chios in 1813.
He is commemorated by the Greek Orthodox Church on June 24.
Despite this, modern Greek critics consider him a reactionary Orthodox fundamentalist, enemy of the Western European ideas of the French Revolution, opponent of Rigas Feraios and Adamantios Korais.
