108 THE WAR OF GREEK INDEPENDENCE Tenedos and Troas; and this exploit so alarmed the Capitan Pasha, that he retired with the Ottoman navy under the guns of the Dardanelles, leaving the Greeks masters of the open sea. In West Hellas, meanwhile, the other half of Khurshid's plan of campaign had likewise started with and ended in disaster. Before marching south- success, ward to effect his junction with Dramali in the Morea, it was necessary for the Ottoman commander to reduce the Suliots, that bravest and most celebrated of the Albanian hill tribes, whose desperate resistance to Ali Pasha of Janina had once roused the sympathy and admiration of Europe, and who were now in arms against the Ottoman power. Though they had not as yet formally thrown in their lot with the Greeks, Mavrocordatos, whose fiasco before Patras had not cured him of his belief in his military capacity, determined to march to their relief. At the head of a considerable force, comprising the only disciplined troops in the Greek army the regiment commanded by Colonel Tarella, and the corps of Philhellenes, consisting entirely of foreign officers, commanded by Colonel Dania he crossed to Missolonghi, and advanced upon Arta. The Ottoman forces in Arta were commanded by Reshid Pasha, known to the Greeks and Albanians
BATTLE OF PETA 109 as Kiutayeh, 1 an officer as experienced and capable as Mavrocordatos was the reverse. The latter made his headquarters at Ivombotti, where he remained, while the Greek army advanced some fifteen miles further, and took up a position at Peta. Here, disadvantageously posted and without having entrenched themselves, they were attacked, on the 16th of July, by the Turks in overwhelming force. In the absence of the commander-in-chief, no one possessed sufficient authority to produce unity of action among the heterogeneous elements forming the Greek army. The Philhellenes, indeed, fought with desperate courage; but the treachery of the chief Gogos, who had been entrusted with the defence of the key of the position, suffered the Turks to attack them both in front and rear, and only some twenty-five succeeded in forcing their way through at the point of the bayonet. At the same time Colonel Tarella fell, and his regiment was annihilated. 2 This battle had several important effects, apart from its leaving the Turks free to reduce the Suliots; for it destroyed the prestige of Mavrocordatos, and 1 He had been Pasha of Kiutayeh in Asia Minor. His father had been a Georgian priest, and he himself was a convert to Islam. 2 For a detailed account of this battle see Gordon, i. 388.
