Chrysanthos Theodoridis, or simply Chrysanthos. (Greek: Χρύσανθος Θεοδωρίδης; 1934 – 30 March 2005) was a singer and songwriter from Pontus, though he also lived in Thessaloniki for many years. He was born Chrisanthos Theodoridis in Oinoi of Kozani and he wrote several songs from and for Pontus. He became a symbol for the people from Pontus worldwide. He died of a heart attack in Greece and his body was placed to pilgrimage by hundreds of people from Pontus. His voice was a true castrato voice but not the result of actual castration - rather it was the result of hypogonadism that was untreated. As such he was able to resurrect ancient singing modalities that were used by castrati in the Middle Ages.
