Diamantopoulos Prize (Athens 1987) the judging panel commented that the award went to Thomas for Mythic Summer ""especially for its high aesthetics and because it represents something "humane, peace-loving and patriotic." Βραβείο Αθ. Διαμαντόπουλου, Αθήνα 1987: Το βιβλίο Μυθικό Καλοκαίρι βραβεύτηκε διακρινόμενο για το αισθητικό του επίπεδο και για το ότι διαπνέεται για κάτι "το ανθρώπινο, το ειρηνικό και το πατριωτικό". Literary Cypriot critic Andreas Philaktou said: "We can say that the poetic works of Andreas Thomas add to our literary tradition giving it a new life. Some of his poems were written after the disaster and they place Thomas among the top rank of the poets of his time." Kehagioglou and Papaleontiou in History of Contemporary Cypriot Literature said about Thomas: "In his first collection Andreas Thomas, Small Sea City 1972 and especially in his love poems reigns an intense lyrical imagery rooted in the tradition of Elytis. The poet also draws on the traditions of Greek mythology so that he may approach current Cyrpriot political events." "In his more mature books ... Mikri Thalassini Politia B’ the (1974) disaster is presented more indirectly with symbols and surrealistic images mainly in the series “voices of death”, which represents the most powerful section of the book."[3] He wrote an essay on the poetry of Nikiforos Vrettakos.[4][5] In 2003 twelve poems from his book Mythic Summer were put to music by Cypriot musician and composer Andreas Artemis.{{el icon}}[6] Poetry
