Greek politician

**Spyridon Stais** ([Greek](/source/Greek_language): Σπυρίδων Στάης, 1859–1932) was a [Greek](/source/Greece) politician from the island of [Kythera](/source/Kythera).

He studied physics and mathematics and served as a teacher in [gymnasia](/source/Gymnasium_(school)) (secondary schools) of Greece. He became active in politics in 1892, joining first the party of [Charilaos Trikoupis](/source/Charilaos_Trikoupis) and later (after Trikoupis’ death) the [Modernist Party](/source/New_Party_(Greece%2C_1873)) of [Georgios Theotokis](/source/Georgios_Theotokis).[1] He served as a member of parliament, as [Minister for Education](/source/Ministry_of_National_Education_and_Religious_Affairs_(Greece)) under prime minister Theotokis (in 1900 and again in 1903), as [Minister of the Interior](/source/Minister_for_the_Interior%2C_Public_Administration_and_Decentralisation_(Greece)) (1921–1922) under [Dimitrios Gounaris](/source/Dimitrios_Gounaris) and finally as general governor of [Thessaloniki](/source/Thessaloniki) (1922) under [Petros Protopapadakis](/source/Petros_Protopapadakis).[2]

In 1902 Stais first noticed the [Antikythera mechanism](/source/Antikythera_mechanism) among other unidentified scraps of bronze, during a visit to the [National Archaeological Museum](/source/National_Archaeological_Museum%2C_Athens) in Athens.[3]
