1821 Greek War of Independence Souvenir Coffee Mug
- from our Affiliates
Inspired by the 200 year anniversary of the 1821 War of Greek Independence against the Ottoman Empire, this is a quote from "Thourios" or battle-hymn (1797), in which Greek hero Rigas Feraios wrote, "It's finer to live one hour as a free man than forty years as a slave and prisoner". It includes an illustration of Rigas' signature. The light blue and white stripes harken to the Greek flag and form a 2, while the branch forms a 1, together '21'.
