Aris Velouchiotis - Cousinage With Zervas

Cousinage With Zervas

In a game that only blind luck plays, in an extraordinary coincidence, the two leaders of the Greek Resistance were distant cousins. Zervas was descedant from a the famous Souliote clan of Zervades, who after the destruction of Souli by the Ottomans fled to Aitoloakarnania, while Klaras' mother was of Souliote descedance, from a family related to Zervades. However, Zervas had never before seen Velouchiotis before their first meeting during the Resistance era.
