Ελληνικη σημαια!

Meanings and Symbolism of the Greek Flag
The nine stripes are said to represent the number of syllables in the Greek phrase "Eleutheria H Thanatos", usually translated as "Freedom or Death!", a battle cry during the revolt against the Ottoman Occupation.

The equal-armed cross represents the Greek Orthodox church, the predominant religion of Greece. The Church played a crucial role in the fight for independence against the Ottomans.

The colour blue represents the sea which is so important to Greece and such a major portion of its economy. The white represents the waves on the ocean. Blue has also always been a color of protection, seen in the blue eye amulets used to ward off evil, and white is seen as the colour of purity.

As in Greek mythology, there are always other explanations. Some say the nine stripes on the Greek flag represent the Nine Muses of Greek myth, and that the colours of blue and white represent Aphrodite rising up from the seafoam.

Μαντιναδες

MANTINADES!
Όποιος στον κόσμο γεννηθεί κι’ αγάπη να μην κάνει
μουσκάρι εγεννήθηκε και βόδι θα ποθάνει
-------------------------------------------
Ροδοπλασμένη κοπελιά αθέ του παραδείσου
ο θάνατος μου κι’ η ζωή είναι βουλή δική σου
-------------------------------------------
Οσο κι αν σφίξεις τη καρδιά θα μείνει λίγο αίμα,
θα 'ναι κι αυτό διαθέσιμο αγάπη μου για 'σενα
------------------------------------------
Μέσα στη μέση της καρδιάς ανοίγω και σε βάζω
και ύστερα κλείνω την καρδιά και το κλειδί το σπάζω
------------------------------------------
Παίξε μου χίλιες μαχαιριές μα πόνο δε θα νιώσω
τόσο πολύ που σ'αγαπώ δε θα το μετανιώσω
------------------------------------------
Πως μ'αγαπάς το διάβασα σ'ενός αρνιού τη σπάλα
μα εγώ για να βεβαιωθώ θα πάω να σφάξω κι άλλα
------------------------------------------
Είσαι για μένα η χαρά το νόημα του κόσμου
ζωή δε θέλω ούτε λεπτό χωρίς εσένα φως μου
------------------------------------------
Μη τσι ρωτάς τσι μάγισσες που λένε παραμύθια
μόνο η καρδιά μου θα σου πει τσ'αγάπης την αλήθεια
------------------------------------------
Με της αγάπης τα φτερά τον ουρανό θα πιάσω
ταξίδι με τα σύννεφα θα'ρθω να σ'αγκαλιάσω
------------------------------------------
Αγάπη μου εβρέθηκα μια μέρα μακρυά σου
Χωρίς να θέλω έγραψα στην άμμο τ'ονομά σου
------------------------------------------
Σαν το μωρό που πολεμά και θέλει να μιλήσει
γυρεύω τρόπους να της πώ αν μ'έχει αγαπήσει
------------------------------------------
Μόνο εκείνος π'αγαπά μπορεί να το πιστέψει
πως της αγάπης ο καϋμός την σταματά την σκέψη
------------------------------------------
Να κάψω θέλω το κορμί μα την καρδιά θ'αφήσω
γιατί 'σαι μέσα και μπορεί ζωή να σου στερήσω
-----------------------------------------
Παίξε μου χίλιες πιστολιές Μα δε θα χαμπαρίσω
Κι αν είχα κι'άλλη μια ζωή Ηθελα στη χαρίσω
-----------------------------------------
Οταν σε βλέπω η άνοιξη μες στην καρδιά μου μπαίνει
κι ας είναι γύρω τα βουνά κι οι κάμποι χιονισμένοι
------------------------------------------
Μακριά 'ναι η αγάπη μου μα η σκέψη ανάθεμά τη
την κάνει την απόσταση μια χαρακιά κομμάτι
------------------------------------------
Ηρθες κι απόψε να μου πεις πως μ'αγαπάς στ'αλήθεια
κρίμα που ήταν όνειρο κι έσβησε μες στη νύχτα
------------------------------------------
Είναι καιρός που σ'αγαπώ και άνθρωπος δεν το ξέρει
πω μ'έχει κάνει μισερό τσ'αγάπης το μαχαίρι
------------------------------------------
Με ‘ένα μπιστόλι παίξε μου, μη λυπηθείς τις σφαίρες,
έτσι κι αλλιώς χωρίς εσέ είναι νεκρές οι μέρες
