“The Mesolonghi by Fotiadis is a great work. A great contribution to the people, just like the entire 1821 belongs to the people. And I believe that, in these dead years we live, Fotiadis with his Mesolonghi came to give life to the people and faith in themselves.” K. Varnalis

“Fotiadis does this work propelled by the belief that within the popular consciousness, the feeling of freedom and national independence has not withered and that the people can emerge from their current stupor and shake off those who trade in their fate and lives. Does 'Mesolonghi' inspire? The epic and dramatic spirit that emanates from the descriptions and information in the book stirs the soul and acts like a national sermon; it is a necessary read today.” Markos Avgiris

“It is a valuable work, not only for the significant historical interest of the subject, which has contemporary relevance, but also for its bright narration and the beautiful simplicity of its style.” George Thomson, Professor at the University of Birmingham
