Who designed the Greek flag? Why was Kalvos the poet hiding? Who were the heroes of 1821, and who are today’s heroes? Why didn’t a Greek painter depict the Massacre of Chios? Did Byron come to Greece for tourism? Aside from Bouboulina and Manto, were there other female revolutionaries? What languages did Greeks speak then, and what do they speak now? What has happened in the country name Greece over the last two hundred years? The play humorously explores how modern Greeks handle their recent history and how they continue to shape it.
