(έργο του 1827)
6. “ A dramatic event in the Greek struggle for
freedom. In 1803 Souli Greeks revolted
against the Turks. The women from the
region waited on a rock platform and
watched the battle. When the Greeks lost,
their wives decided to commit collective
suicide, rather than fall into the hands of the
enemy. This painting referred to the great
Greek revolt that erupted in 1821 and
received many international sympathies. ”
