Biography[]
He was from Maroneia.[1] Before the revolution he was a member of the Filiki Etaireia and had the rank of Apostle. He vigorously spread the idea of the Revolution and publicised the events in Kalamata.
As a military man he followed Mavromichalis, and when he left Kalamata, Michanidis continued his work of transmitting the news. This, along with his way of writing it, acted as a morale boost to the revolutionaries.
