When one thinks of the Greek War of Independence, the first things that comes to mind are the names: Kolokotronis, Karaiskakis, Papaflessas, Bouboulina, Diakos, and Kanaris.
The next thing that springs to mind are the heroic battles at Gravia Inn, Alamana, Valtetsi, Dervenakia, Navarino.
Yet the 1821 Greek Revolution had many unknown heroes who fought alongside the legendary ones, or fought in their own battles for liberation from the Ottomans.
Some of them are honored, having streets named after them or statues in their birthplace. But many Greeks today have no idea where the name of this or that street comes from. It’s time that was rectified.
