The Free Besieged
''
''The Free Besieged'' ((ギリシア語:Οι Ελεύθεροι Πολιορκημένοι), ''Oi Eleftheroi Poliorkimenoi'') is an epic, unfinished work composed by Dionysios Solomos and inspired by the third siege of Missolonghi (1825–1826), a crucial conflict of the Greek War of Independence. It is not a single work, but consists of three separate poems in fragmentary form. The Free Besieged is considered one of the greatest poems of Solomos, national poet of Greece.
==Background==
In April 15, 1825, the invading Ottoman armies in Central Greece besieged the city of Missolonghi for the third time. However, the defenders managed to keep the city for almost one year, but a number of factors like the numerically superior strength of the Ottomans, the continuous assaults and the lack of food and other supplies led them to decide a heroic sortie on the night of 10 April 1826.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hfc-bucharest.com/wmt/userfiles/Media/videos/eleu8eroi_poliorkhmenoi_en.pdf )〕
The siege and the subsequent sortie were one of the most stirring events of the Greek Revolution (1821–1830) and in fact the besieging forces were so overwhelming that there was no doubt about the result of the struggle.〔Capetanakis, 1971: 167〕 This event inspired Dionysios Solomos, the national poet of Greece, to compose ''The Free Besieged'', which refers to the struggle of the defenders.
