Mesolongion - Greece HD Travel Channel
Missolonghi (Mesolongi - Μεσολόγγι) on the northern shore of the Gulf of Patras in western Greece was originally founded on three islands within a lagoon, which silted up over the centuries.
For more than two centuries, the town was under Venetian rule before the Ottomans took it over. At the outbreak of the Greek revolution of 1821 Missolonghi was headquarters of the rebels and could withstand a first siege.
In 1824, Lord Byron, the most famous representative of the Philhellenes, came as commander of the free Greek armed forces here. He was equipped with money and war material but shortly afterwards he died, presumably of malaria. Due to a betrayal, Missolonghi fell in 1825 at the attempt to break through the siege ring. The remaining inhabitants blew themselves up in the armory. Here, the base for the myth of the heroic fight for freedom was laid.
In the Heroon, a memorial place for the fallen, monuments for the heroes, especially Lord Byron were erected.

Mesolongi (Mesolongion - Μεσολόγγι ) in Westgriechenland am nördlichen Ufer des Golfs von Patra wurde ursprünglich auf drei Inseln innerhalb einer Lagune gegründet, welche im Laufe der Jahrhunderte verlandete.
Mehr als zwei Jahrhunderte war die Stadt unter venezianischer Herrschaft, bevor die Osmanen die Stadt übernahmen. Beim Ausbruch der griechischen Revolution 1821 war Mesolongi Hauptquartier der Aufständischen. Einer ersten Belagerung konnte die Stadt standhalten.
Lord Byron, der berühmteste Vertreter der Philhellenen kam 1824 ausgestattet mit Geld und Kriegsmaterial als Befehlshaber der freien griechischen Streitkräfte hierher, verstarb aber schon kurz darauf, vermutlich an Sumpffieber. 1825 fiel Mesolongi beim Versuch den Belagerungsring zu durchbrechen auf Grund eines Verrats. Die verbliebene Bevölkerung sprengte sich im Zeughaus in die Luft. Hier wurde die Basis für den Mythos des heroischen Freiheitskampfes gelegt.
Im Heroon einer Gedenkstätte für die Gefallenen, wurden den Helden, speziell Lord Byron, Denkmäler errichtet.

Η έξοδος του Μεσολογγίου και κήπος ηρώων | Exodus of Mesolongi and hero's garden
Η «Έξοδος του Μεσολογγίου» είναι η ηρωική έξοδο που πραγματοποίησαν οι πολιορκημένοι στρατιώτες και άμαχοι του Μεσολογγίου, όταν οι δυνατότητες συνέχισης της άμυνας απέναντι στα τουρκικά και αιγυπτιακά στρατεύματα είχαν χαθεί. Το γεγονός συνέβη την νύχτα μεταξύ 10ης και 11ης Απριλίου 1826, κατά τη διάρκεια της επανάστασης του 1821 και συγκαταλέγεται στα σημαντικότερα γεγονότα της παγκόσμιας στρατιωτικής ιστορίας. Ο δημογέροντας Χρήστος Καψάλης, όταν κυκλώθηκε από τους εισβολείς στο σπίτι του, όπου είχαν συγκεντρωθεί τραυματίες, γέροντες και γυναικόπαιδα, έβαλε φωτιά στην πυριτιδαποθήκη, ενώ ο μητροπολίτης Ρωγών Ιωσήφ ανατίναξε τον Ανεμόμυλο, στην τελευταία πράξη αντίστασης, όταν κυκλώθηκε από τους εχθρούς. Ένα νέο κύμα φιλελληνισμού αναδύθηκε μετά το γεγονός της εξόδου που επηρέασε την ευρωπαϊκή διπλωματία για τα εθνικά δίκαια των Ελλήνων.Ο Κήπος των Ηρώων βρίσκεται στη βόρεια πλευρά του Μεσολογγίου. Επισκεπτόμαστε τον κήπο των ηρώων. Πρόκειται για μια έκταση σχεδόν δεκατεσσάρων στρεμμάτων στην οποία θάφτηκαν οι ήρωες της εξόδου της Ιερής Πόλης του Μεσολογγίου.

[Wikipedia] Greece on the Ruins of Missolonghi
Greece on the Ruins of Missolonghi (French: La Grèce sur les ruines de Missolonghi) is an 1826 oil painting by French painter Eugène Delacroix, and now preserved at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux. This painting was inspired by the Third Siege of Missolonghi by the Ottoman forces in 1826, during which many people of the city after the long-time siege (almost a year) decided to attempt a mass breakout (sortie) to escape famine and epidemics. The attempt resulted in a disaster, with the larger part of the Greeks slain.

Lord Byron in Kefalonia
Lord Byron stayed in Metaxata for a few months, he wrote his epic poem, Don Juan while in Metaxata. Kefalonia was his last place of residence before he joined the resistance in Messolongi on mainland Greece. He was to loose his life fighting in the Greek War of Independence He was inspired by the islands natural beauty and the pleasantness of the locals.
His work contains many poems inspired by his love of Kefalonia.
A statue of Lord Byron stands in the central square of Metaxata. Present day Greeks still remember Byron with affection. Metaxata forms a junction with two roads, one linking west to Lakithra. The view is amazing, green plain, the airport, the small island of Zeus and far away in the horizon, you can see the island of Zakynthos. Byron's rock in Lakithra is another way of Greece paying homage to their hero. Lines on a plaque at Lakithra, one of his favourite spots on Kefalonia, are inscribed with his words, If I am a poet, I owe it to the air of Greece.
