The bandits of central Greece were descendants of the klephts and in certain areas continued the role that the armatoloi played in the past.
Of course, from the perspective of the newly established and Western-style State, the bandits were criminals against public safety and were treated as criminals, at least officially, from the outset.
In traditional Greek society of that time, where the state was often an incidental and usually unwanted intruder, banditry was one of the forms that the violent yet spasmodic reaction of the traditional rural world took against the state's attempts to integrate it into the new economic and political system, often employing methods and means that highlighted the contradictions and intensified the conflicts.
