25th March Greek Independence Day Remembrance! 🇬🇷 🕊️🌿 (A movie scene that reminds me of Iliad so much!)

And I want to share with you a beautiful clip from a movie called Σουλιώτες (Souli People), a movie shot in 1972 speaking about the fights and torments people of the city of Souli have been through

The movie is really beautiful by the way and if someone can watch it I would definitely recommend! However there are one or two battle scenes that I really loved in it. The main protagonist Γκόγκας Δράκος (Gongas Drakos) and his main rival from the opposite side of Ali Pasha, Captain Γκιολέκας (Giolekas) would often start their fight with an almost friendly interactions by calling to each other and even claiming that they could meet after the war is done.

Here's something I loved and gave me Iliad vibes:

In one moment Giolekas stops the battle and suggests to stop for the day and bury their dead. Gongas agrees. Then Gongas asks Giolekas how many men they lost. Giolekas replies "Around 15 more or less. You?" "Just one" Gongas replies, "A young man barely 17 years of age"

The scene then breaks to the image of a young man who died by the bullet of the enemy! And the scene that unravels truly gave me Iliad vibes

Gongas: And now, brothers! Come and join hands! Let us dance and sing for him as it is suitable for his courage and his youth!

And all begin to dance around the young man as if it is a celebration instead of someone dying, to see him off as he left; proud and strong. That scene gave me so many vibes of the ancient texts where the dead would be seen off with funerary games and all! So this scene spoke to me as a great example how modern Greek creators did get inspired by the ancient traditions and how so many people actually held on similar traditions in the past!
