Talk:Athanasios Diakos

Comments
I've made a few changes to the article with regard to Diakos's final words. I suppose it comes down to which version you read in school, but I've encountered the term "Ρωμιός" (Roman) more than "Γραικός" (Graikos).

Secondly, popular romanticised tradition has him reciting a poem while he's being roasted alive on a spit. I have yet to find any credible sources that specify whether he was actually placed over a fire; most sources just mention impalement. Dragases 10:02, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
 * It's hardly credible, but my family in Lamia say he was just impaled. Shall we mention the impalement in the article? Oh, and I'll take a picture of his statue in Lamia next time I'm there. Merpin (talk) 17:18, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

I added a poetic translation in addition to the literal translation. The Greek is itself very poetic and deeply moving. Many Greek mothers repeat these two verses to their children hoping to inspire in them the same heroic attributes of this great Greek hero. 12.176.152.194 (talk) 22:48, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
