Nikos Evagorou studied at the elementary school of Palodeia and graduated from the Commercial Academy of Limassol. He was an active member of the sports club “Hermes” of Palodeia and of the Catechetical Schools of Agia Triad Limassol. When his brother Charalambos moved from their village, Nikos, despite his young age, he was only sixteen years old, took over the responsible position that his brother had in EOKA, as captain of the local Palodeia team. He reorganized the group, engaged in the construction of bombs, mines and hideouts and launched attacks against the British.

On May 4, 1958, he was arrested because EOKA letters were found in his possession. He was fired after eight days, but was in hiding. He was sure that with the translation of the letters the English would arrest him again, which is why he joined a semi-rebel group in his area.

On October 5, 1958, he took part along with two other rebels and his village guard in an ambush against the British in the location of Lari, near the village of Fasoula, during which they hit a phalanx of military vehicles. In retreating to their hideout, the soldiers were fired upon by a passing military car following the phalanx. Nikos Evagorou was found, after nine days, at the Castle of Fasoula with the flesh on his hands and face eaten by vultures.

His manuscript was found next to him, an excerpt from which are the following words: 

“I am here, on duty, faithful to the laws of religion and country, because the voice of the slave girl of Cyprus called me to fight, to fight with her other children for Freedom! Yes, my sweet country. I will fight and die for your freedom. My pen says it, my lips say it, my soul says it”!
