This spirited war song dates from a period antecedent to the war of independence, and arose out of the conflicts which raged between
the Greeks and the Turks. Byron wrote a translation of the song in 1S10 which begins—
"Sons of Greece, arise !
The glorious hour's gone forth,"
but unfortunately it does not suit the rhythm of the tune.
