Oh! Sorry for assuming. Nothing wrong with being Turkish, just to be clear. I think Kolokotronis is the one figure from the Revolution that gives everyone the warm fuzzies in Greece. I've been to Nafplio as a child and shown the cell he was in, and told that a big hole in the wall was were he was digging himself out (probably apocryphal). To me he's dear because one of my ancestors was one of his chieftains (Giorgos Karachalios, executed by the Ottomans in the siege of Mega Spilaion, skinned alive according to family lore) and because I read his autobiography also as a kid. Like I say, we all have our heroes... > NB: I didn't mean that he turned aside from Tripolitsa, I meant I was leaving the subject aside. And thanks for that, because that one really hurts.
