    Fustanella and greek propaganda

    The historic link to the fustanella involves an ancient statue found in the area around the acropolis in Athens dated from the third century BC. Nevertheless, no ancient Greek garments have survived to confirm that the origins of the fustanella are indeed in the pleated garments or chitons that were worn by men in Pericles' Athens.

    Fabricating Greekness, by Michael Skafidas.

    Interesting. Todays grk says otherwise Mr. Skafidas.

          For what it's worth the word fustanella is a turkish word & i don't think its greek.
          "Ido not want an uprising of people that would leave me at the first failure, I want revolution with citizens able to bear all the temptations to a prolonged struggle, what, because of the fierce political conditions, will be our guide or cattle to the slaughterhouse"
