Monument of the Unknown Soldier, at Syntagma



Uploaded by: FerhatBingol
Video Description:
By the late 5th century BC a ceremony to hold a public funeral in honour of all those who had died in war to benefit Athens had been established.
The texts written on the Monument of the Unknown Soldier, at Syntagma, under the entrance of the Greek parliament, borrowed from the "History of the Peloponnesian War" (5th cent. BC), a work of the Ancient Greek historian Thucydides which refers on the 5th century BC war between Sparta and Athens.
They are included in the chapter of the Pericles' Funeral Oration. ΜΙΑ ΚΛΙΝΗ ΚΕΝΗ ΦΕΡΕΤΑΙ ΕΣΤΡΩΜΕΝΗ ΤΩΝ ΑΦΑΝΩΝ mia klinē kenē pheretai estrōmenē tōn aphanōn This quote is part of the description of the procedure and means that an empty coffin was carried
for each dead unknown soldier. ΑΝΔΡΩΝ ΕΠΙΦΑΝΩΝ ΠΑΣΑ ΓΗ ΤΑΦΟΣ andrōn epiphanōn pasa gē taphos This quote means that for the glorious soldiers the burial place is not significant, it can be anywhere. The rest are various names of modern history battlefields where lots o
f Greek soldiers lost their lives, mostly related to the Greco-Italian War and to the battles against the Axis powers at 1940's.
