25 March 1821: the Fight against the Ottoman threat Goes on!

The English correspondant of "London Times", James Emerson, wrote about the Greeks of 1821:
"You come upon many examples of ancient folkways. In every step you seesome something that reminds you that you are in Greece. The language, the customs, the character of the Greeks, are all the same as they were in the times of Demosthenes. Even their clothing seems to not have changed at all. They have the same brown wavy long hair as the brown-haired( καρηκομοωντες) heroes of Homeros. The long skirt, the blade and the fully embroidered legging protectors, show that today's Greeks are the same as the "good-legging" Acheans(ευκνημιδες Αχαιοι).
