Grigor Stavrev Parlichev (Bulgarian: Григор Ставрев Пърличев; Macedonian: Григор Ставрев Прличев, romanized: Grigor Stavrev Prličev; 18 January 1830 – 25 January 1893), also known as Grigorios Stavridis (Greek: Γρηγόριος Σταυρίδης), was a Bulgarian writer, teacher and translator. He received acclaim as a "second Homer" in Greece for his poem O Armatolos. Afterwards, he became a Bulgarian national activist. Parlichev was subject to criticism by contemporary Bulgarian figures for what they regarded as poor knowledge of Bulgarian. His other notable works include the poems Skenderbeg, 1762 leto, and his autobiographical work Autobiography. In North Macedonia and Bulgaria, he is regarded as a pioneer of national awakening, but his national identity has been also disputed between both countries.
