CHAPTER VI Death of Elias Mavromichales Odysseus of Ithaka His treachery before Karystos The massacre of Chios The vengeance of Kanaris Mahmoud's plan for the reconquest of Greece Odysseus in East Hellas Fall of the Acropolis Massacre of the Turks Invasion of Dramali The Turks at Argos Defeat of Dramali in the pass of Devernaki, and at Agionori Destruction of the Turkish army Expedition of Mavrocordatos for the relief of the Suliots Defeat of Peta Advance of Omer Vrioni in West Hellas First siege of Missolonghi <strong>THE</strong> year 1822, which was to prove on the whole so full of glory and of hope for Greece, began with a series of disasters. The rumour that Sultan Mahmoud was preparing a great expedition to crush out the revolt in the Morea determined the Greek Government to forestall him by pressing the war in Eastern Hellas. The Acropolis of Athens was still held by a Turkish garrison, and Elias Mavromichales, the eldest son of Petrobey, had been invited by the Areopagus to aid in its reduction. At Athens, however, he was met by an invitation from the Euboeans to help them in an
DEATH <strong>OF</strong> ELIAS MAVROMICHALES 89 attack on Karystos; and as this seemed to promise more adventure than was likely to be found in blockading the Acropolis, he responded to the appeal. Before his arrival at the camp of the Euboeans, the men of Kumi had already elected a Montenegrin named Vassos as their captain, and Elias Mavromichales, with a rare generosity, consented to share his authority with this comparatively inexperienced soldier. Together they determined to attack the Turkish post at the village of Stura, where a considerable quantity of grain for the use of the garrison at Karystos had been collected. Unfortunately, owing to the neglect of the Greeks to secure in time the pass of Diakophti, and so cut off the possibility of relief from Karystos, the attack failed. The small Ottoman garrison held out until Omer Bey arrived with reinforcements. The Greeks were routed; and Elias Mavromichales himself was surrounded in an old mill, where for some time he defended himself with great bravery. At last, seeing no chance of relief, he tried to cut his way out, but was killed in the attempt. His death was the first blow to the Greek cause during the year, and created great sorrow; for to the bravery which was usual among the chiefs of the insurrection, he added a disinterested patriotism which was far from being so common.
