Trained thus little im- in the school of the Pasha of Janina, a character naturally fierce and subtle had received, as yet, press of higher and nobler influences. After the fall of Ali, Karaiskakis took once more to the mountains, and, as a chief of Klephts, ultimately threw in his lot with the cause of the Greeks. His patriotism had, however, not been above suspicion. More than once he had entered into relations with the Turks, and was suspected, not without justice, of playing the same selfish game as Odysseus. But of his courage, his skill as a leader, and his immense influence over the wild hillsmen, there could be no doubt. Among the Arniatoli his name had passed into a proverb. ' Why are you running, fool,' they would cry out when any one fled, 'as though Karaiskakis were after you?' ' Karaiskakis/ said the Albanians of Kiutayeh's army, ' is the only Romaic captain whom we fear.' To this man the Hellenic government decided, not without misgiving, to entrust the command of the Greek forces in Attica.

It seemed as though the new sense of a great responsibility, the consciousness that on his efforts rested the main hopes of the cause of his people, wrought in his character, as in that of many others in the course of the national uprising, a complete revolution. From a selfish partisan chief, he became a great national leader, and from this time, until he sealed his devotion with his death, gave himself up heart and soul to the service of his country. The immediate object of Karaiskakis was now to advance upon Athens, and raise the siege of the Acropolis. At Eleusis he gathered a band of some two thousand irregular warriors. Besides these, the French Colonel Fabvier was also present at the head of a thousand drilled troops; and together they advanced as far as Chaidari in the direction of Athens. Here, however, they were attacked by the Ottoman forces. Karaiskakis's hillsmen, entrenched behind their shallow tamburias, repulsed the onslaught of 14 i Mendelssohn, i. 432.
