Hymn to Freedom:
I recognize you the edge
your sword formidable;
I'll admit to this cursory glance
Which you measure the earth.
Released bones
Sacred of the Greeks,
And your old high energy
Hail, hail, O Freedom! (× 3)
Dionýsios Solomós
Greek poet born in Zakinthos (1798 - 1857)

Democracy
"If anyone rises up against the people to set up tyranny or help settle tyranny, or try to harm the people and democracy of the Athenians, so be honoring the one who will kill the one who has undertaken one of those crimes. That no member of the Aéropage state, if democracy is destroyed, be permitted to climb on the airplane, participate in a meeting, or make a decision on any matter, and It produces something similar, that he and his descendants are deprived of their political rights, that his fortune be restored to the people, and that one-tenth of his fortune be given to the Gods.
