To him, moreover, applied with double force a remark which Goethe, in a conversation with Eckermann, afterwards ' made with reference to Count Capodistrias. Capodistrias,' he ' said, will in the long run not be able to maintain himself at the head of Greek affairs; for he lacks a quality which is essential to such a position. He is no soldier. Now we have no example of any mere diplomat being able to organise a revolutionary State, or secure the obedience of soldiers and military chiefs.' This proved profoundly true of Capodistrias; it was no less profoundly true of Mavrocordatos. Moreover, whereas Capodistrias, a man of dignified and imposing presence, never affected to be a soldier, Mavrocordatos, in spite of his spectacles and his plump little figure, more than once made himself ridiculous by attempts to play the general, with disastrous results both for himself and Greece. Thus it came about that he entered on his office under inauspicious omens. Thinking to strengthen his position by adding military glory to his diplomatic prestige, he attempted, on his way from Missolonghi, to reduce the Turkish garrison of Patras. But he only proved that nature had not intended him for a general. The Ottomans overwhelmed him in a sortie; and, defeated, and stripped
ALEXANDER MAVROCORDATOS 87 of all save the clothes on his back, he arrived ignominiously at the seat of government. It may be doubted whether, at that time, the strongest and wisest of rulers could have reduced the chaos of Greek affairs to order. It needed the awful lesson which was about to be given them, to make the Hellenes forget, for a while, their selfish ambitions and jealousies, under the compulsion of a common fear and a common passion of revenge.
