Who was the first spy in the Struggle for the liberation of Greece? What hero of the Greek Revolution has had his name given to a metro station in Paris?

The Greek Revolution of 1821 played a crucial role in shaping the Greek state. However, how much do we know about the lives of the people who supported the Struggle or took significant action in it?

In the book The Faces of the 1821 Revolution, fifty people, more or less known, narrate their stories in the first person, giving a human touch to the events of the time. All of them – fighters, supporters, philhellenes, opponents, men, and women – stood out and linked their lives and names to one of the most critical events in modern Greek history and contributed to the creation of the Greece we know and live in today.
