The Greeks and the Epic of 1940
"The time has come for Greece to fight for her independence. Greeks, now we must prove ourselves worthy of our forefathers and the freedom they bestowed upon us. Greeks, now fight for your Fatherland, for your wives, for your children and the sacred traditions. Now, over all things, fight!"
Ioannis Metaxas
Prime Minister of Greece – 1940
“Until now, we knew that Greeks were fighting like heroes; from now on we shall say that the heroes fight like Greeks.” - Winston Churchhill, Prime Minister of Britain - 1940.
