Sacred Band (1821) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Sacred Band (1821)
The Sacred Band (Greek: ) was a a military force founded by Alexander Ypsilantis at the beginning of the Greek War of Independence, in the middle of March 1821 in Wallachia, now part of Romania. It was formed by volunteers students of the Greek communities of Moldavia, Wallachia and Odessa. It was the first organized military unit of the Greek War of Independence (1821) and of the Greek army in general. Ypsilantis thought that these young people could become the soul of his army. That was the reason that he borrowed the name of the Sacred Band of Thebes. ==Structure – Organization== In Focșani, after the completion of the training of the Sacred Band’s members, oath taking ceremony was organized, according to the Tsarist etiquette. After the ceremony, Alexander Ypsilantis gave an enthusiastic speech and gave the flag of the Sacred Band to the commander of the Band, Georgios Kantakouzinos ( Athanasios Tsakalov, one of the founders of the Filiki Eteria was the second in command ). Thereafter the Sacred Band’s members conducted a military parade singing military “Thourios” that was written by Adamantios Korais 20 years ago for the “Brigade of skirmishers of the East” (“Ταξιαρχία των Ακροβολιστών της Ανατολής”) of Bonaparte that was fighting in Egypt and in which Greeks were participating. At the beginning there were 120 members of the Sacred Band and then it reached the number of the 400 members, while the organization of the force was completed in Târgoviște.
