07.01.2022 Read the Affidavit of patriotic cooperation of Theodoros Kolokotronis with the Peloponnesian Senate. THE EXHIBITION OF THE MONTH / OCTOBER 2020 The document was auctioned by the Athenian auction house of Petros Vergos on March 14, 2019 and was purchased by an individual, who donated it to the Michael N. Stasinopoulos-VIOHALCO Public Benefit Foundation. The document will be deposited in the National History Museum.... Sworn patriotic cooperation agreement of Theodoros Kolokotronis with the Peloponnesian Senate (October 16, 1822) It is a two-page document, in good quality paper measuring 30.5 20.5 cm, it is written on the two pages ( and ) of the 1st sheet, while the second sheet has been left unwritten and was somehow used as a protective cover the text of the first sheet. The historian, Vassilis Panagiotopoulos, notes in his commentary on the document: "We actually have in our hands a private document between two parties that, despite their institutional status, agree on its content as individuals, as individuals. A sworn agreement of friendship, cooperation and mutual support, without a natural sender and recipient. The fact that the two parties place next to their signatures and seals, the official seal of the Peloponnesian Senate the Senators, his personal seal the General, is not capable of turning the private document into a public one and its content into an official state act . The transcript of the document is available here. https://www.protovoulia21.gr/ekthema/oktovrios-2020/

06.01.2022 In 1825, the Serbs and Montenegrins along with the Messinians under the leadership of Васо Браови and Giatrikos, were defending the Peloponnese at Schinolakas, on the Pylos side of Mount Likodemo. At Maniaki, Papaflessas along with a young Mavromichalis and a few hundred others formed the last line of defences.

06.01.2022 Greeks who left their mark on the world in the last 200 years ..Stavro Niarhos Foundation. It’s founder and legacy .. Vamvakou Revival: They’ve got big plans for this small village. The revival of Vamvakou is a very ambitious project which, we believe, expresses a collective need, today perhaps more than ever, to return to our roots with respect and hope, said Dracopoulos. Our own roots happen to be in Vamvakou, as it is the village where my great uncle and our founder, S...tavros Niarchos, came from. The grantmaking activity of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) extends all across Greece and around the world. But the Greek region of Laconia holds a special connection with SNF as the ancestral homeland of SNF’s Founder, Stavros Niarchos. Niarchos died in 1996, in Zurich. He is buried in the family tomb in the Bois-de-Vaux Cemetery in Lausanne. At his death, his fortune was estimated to be worth $12 billion.[12] When Niarchos died, he left 20% his fortune to a charitable trust to be established in his name and the other part to his three sons and daughter Maria by his marriage to Greek shipping heiress Eugenia Livanos, a nephew, and a great nephew. He notably excluded Elena Ford his daughter by his ex-wife Charlotte from his will. She sued the estate in both Swiss and Greek courts for her 1/10th share estimated to be worth 700 million. https://www.vamvakourevival.org/en/perigrafi-ergou/ https://www.snf.org//vamvakou-revitalization-laying-a-fou/

03.01.2022 The Battle of Salamis took place 28/29 September 480 BC ‘It’s the 2500-year anniversary since the Battle of Thermopylae and the Battle of Salamis in 480 BC , which is being celebrated by a series of events in Greece as part of the Greek Governments commemoration Thermopylae Salamis 2020 these will commemorate and highlight the importance of these two battles, which occurred in 480 BC for the humanity as a whole. According to the Prime Minister, the Battle of Salamis ...also paved the way for the liberation of territories under Persian rule. For thirty years thereafter, he related, the united Greeks embarked on campaigns to incorporate Ionia and thus created the image, for the first time, of a nation, with Greece as its homeland, but with horizons throughout the world. These two decisive battles are seen by many to mark the very beginnings of Western civilization itself, as united forces of Greeks won over the Persian threat, paving the way for Greek classical antiquity to flourish.’ GreekReporter. , 28 29 480 ..

03.01.2022 It is with deep sadness that we inform you of the passing of our Honorary President, Angelos Bouzalas, on Saturday 22nd May at the age of 86. Angelos was a Foun...ding Father of the Messinian Association of South Australia Inc. After migrating to Australia from the proud Messinian village of Kleisoura, he established our Association in 1959 when he drafted and circulated an invitation calling all Messinians in Adelaide to a meeting for the purpose of forming an Association and approving a Constitution. In just over 60 years the Association he built has grown into one of the biggest Hellenic organisations in Australia, with a thriving Community Center, Football Club and Greek Dance School. Angelos served our Association with pride and distinction since 1959. He was our first Secretary, President of the Executive Committee, President of the Auditing Committee and first Honorary President. However, Angelos’ proudest achievement was his 60 years of service as an active volunteer. Together with his wife Triada, he cooked at hundreds of Sunday BBQs, helped organise numerous Victor Harbor Australia Day picnics and dedicated countless hours at the Glendi Greek Festival Messinian tent. His presence, institutional knowledge and sense of humour will be deeply missed by all of us at the Messinian Association.

01.01.2022 Women heroes of the Greek Revolution . THE HEROINE OF THE MONASTERY OF ARKADI CHARIKLIA DASKALAKI - TEACHER CHARIKLIA The heroine Hariklia Daskalaki (Daskalakaina or Daskalohariklia) was the daughter, wife and mother of warriors. Her father had been killed in a previous revolution, 3 of her sons were killed in the Cretan Revolution of the year of the Arkadi Holocaust (1866), and her husband was a descendant of the National Martyr Daskalogiannis... She was from Harkia, Rethymno and was the daughter of the veteran fighter of the revolution of 1821, Petros of Arkadiotis. She must have been born in Tolo, Nafplio (unknown when), where her father had taken refuge. She had married Michael (Anagnosti) Daskalakis, from Amnato, Rethymno and lived there. He had 13 children, of whom four daughters and three sons survived: George, Antonios and Konstantinos. He lost all three of them in the Cretan revolution of 1866. The latter was 24 years old when he saw him killed by spears by the Turks, after the occupation of Arkadi. Shortly after her escape from captivity, she fled to Syros and then to Athens where she died (unknown when). He starred in the siege of Arkadi. The chiefs who were in the monastery, led by the abbot Gabriel and with the consent of Hariklia Daskalaki, who participated in the councils, decided to oppose the attack of Mustafa Pasha until the end. Alongside her son Constantine, she fought relentlessly and encouraged others with her courage. Suddenly an enemy bullet wounds her son. "For such a small thing!", Hariklia tells him. The mother's voice gives strength and life to her son. He gets up, takes his gun and starts firing again. Their cartridges are running out. Daskalaki, with incredible composure and courage, opens the door of the cell, runs under a hail of bullets towards the corpse of a Turkish soldier. He takes his cartridges and returns. Three times she ran and restored the flag of her chief son, which was shot down by enemy bullets. Finally, the fourth time, after breaking the pole, he folded the flag, kissed her and hid her in her arms. The war flag of the Monastery which was saved by the chief Hariklia Daskalaki bore the initials K (Crete), E (Union), E (Freedom) or (Death). Of the 950 besieged in the Monastery, only about 100 survived. The heroine Daskalaki was saved and survived. She was arrested along with her son, who was killed by the Turks. Later, Hariklia managed to escape. After the revolution he appeared in Athens, gave valuable information about the siege of Arkadi and the self-sacrifice of the besieged. The only surviving photograph of her, at an advanced age in Athens, was used to make her bust in Amnato, where her memory is honored every year. SOURCE:
