The fez is an evolution of the sheperds' felt cup.
The Central Greece type felt cup like the one I wear in some hoplite photos has been unchanged for 2500 years!
@ Jona
Yes people craved wealth but had principles too!
Makriyannis in his memoirs talks about an ancestor of mine who though a successful bussiness man equiped a unit with own funds and following the family tradition of not giving an inch was killed in the battle of Peta.
As for the irregular cavalry of the rebels a unit of 70 was part of Georgios Karaiskakis troops.
The unit leader Hatzi-Michalis Dalianis went to Crete to help the revolution there and the unit was wiped out.
Its rumored that at dusk you cna see charging horsemen in the place that tey died. The Drosoulites legent.
Kind regards
