Bishop Sophianos of Dryinoupolis (died 1711) was a Greek religious figure and Orthodox missionary in Ottoman Epirus around the turn of the 18th century.
[1] At the time he became Bishop of Dryinoupolis (modern southwest Albania) the religious composition of the region was changing due to massive conversions to Islam.
[2] In 1672 he founded a Greek school in the local monastery of Saint Athanasios.
[citation needed] Sophianos' last days were spent in the monastery of Saint Athanasios in his hometown Poliçan, where he taught religion and letters to the village children.
As a missionary, Sophianos is considered the forerunner of Cosmas of Aetolia in the region.
