D. Sourmelis places Eleftherios Eggelis among those who fell during the siege, but outside the fortress of the Acropolis.<\/p>\n<p>Dimitris Kampouroglou, in his study on Daphni in the magazine ESTIA, refers to the fighter Eggelis and identifies him as &#8220;still living&#8221; and &#8220;a resident of Kolykynthou&#8221;, in 1920 (\u201c\u2026 the sword was rescued falling on the enemies a friend of Eggelis, living until previous years in a very old age in Kolokynthou (Athens)&#8221;). Apparently it refers to the surviving son of Aggelis Eggelis.<\/p>\n<p>A note at the end of the file states that Aggelis Eggelis from Attica was an officer of 5th class, with registration number 3085. Indeed, the Eleftheroudaki Encyclopedia in its entry on Aggelis Eggelis, volume 9, p. 16, states: \u201cEggelis Aggelis, Chieftain, originating from Attica. He excelled in various battles, becoming an officer of 5th class. He died during the raid against Athens (Registration No. 949, 3035, 3139 &#8211; 3145)&#8221;, confirming the facts.<\/p>\n<p>From other sources (Koutsonikas, Sourmelis, Lappas), we learn that Aggelis Eggelis was born between 1770 and 1780, and died in 1821. He was a fighter of 1821 from Athens. With the beginning of the National Uprising, he was included in the body of the Chief Meletios Vassilios (1778-1826) from Menidi, great-great-great-grandfather of the mayor of Aspropyrgos, Mr. Nikolaos Meletios. He took part in many battles in Attica, fighting first with Meletios Vassilios, and then with Odysseus Androutsos. In September 1821, when the Turks ended the siege of Athens, he was the deputy leader of the group of the Athenian chieftain Dimos Roubesis, who fell heroically in a Battle against the Ottomans, led by Omer Vryonis himself. Roubesis rushed with Eggelis against Omer Vryonis, and they managed to throw him off the horse and snatch his sword. Roubesis was mortally wounded and died leaving the sword to Eggelis. The Eggeli family handed over this sword in September 1822 to Odysseus Androutsos, who was in Athens during the ceremony naming him General of eastern Central Greece. This sword was donated by Androutsos to Theodoros Kolokotronis in October of the same year, while he was visiting Nikitaras in Nafplio.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14542\" style=\"width: 375px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14542\" class=\"wp-image-14542\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eefshp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/O-\u039b\u03cc\u03c1\u03b4\u03bf\u03c2-\u0392\u03cd\u03c1\u03c9\u03bd-\u03ba\u03b1\u03b9-\u03c4\u03bf-\u03c3\u03c0\u03b1\u03b8\u03af-\u03c4\u03bf\u03c5-\u039a\u03bf\u03bb\u03bf\u03ba\u03bf\u03c4\u03c1\u03ce\u03bd\u03b7-5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"365\" height=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eefshp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/O-\u039b\u03cc\u03c1\u03b4\u03bf\u03c2-\u0392\u03cd\u03c1\u03c9\u03bd-\u03ba\u03b1\u03b9-\u03c4\u03bf-\u03c3\u03c0\u03b1\u03b8\u03af-\u03c4\u03bf\u03c5-\u039a\u03bf\u03bb\u03bf\u03ba\u03bf\u03c4\u03c1\u03ce\u03bd\u03b7-5.png 658w, https:\/\/www.eefshp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/O-\u039b\u03cc\u03c1\u03b4\u03bf\u03c2-\u0392\u03cd\u03c1\u03c9\u03bd-\u03ba\u03b1\u03b9-\u03c4\u03bf-\u03c3\u03c0\u03b1\u03b8\u03af-\u03c4\u03bf\u03c5-\u039a\u03bf\u03bb\u03bf\u03ba\u03bf\u03c4\u03c1\u03ce\u03bd\u03b7-5-248x300.png 248w, https:\/\/www.eefshp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/O-\u039b\u03cc\u03c1\u03b4\u03bf\u03c2-\u0392\u03cd\u03c1\u03c9\u03bd-\u03ba\u03b1\u03b9-\u03c4\u03bf-\u03c3\u03c0\u03b1\u03b8\u03af-\u03c4\u03bf\u03c5-\u039a\u03bf\u03bb\u03bf\u03ba\u03bf\u03c4\u03c1\u03ce\u03bd\u03b7-5-584x705.png 584w, https:\/\/www.eefshp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/O-\u039b\u03cc\u03c1\u03b4\u03bf\u03c2-\u0392\u03cd\u03c1\u03c9\u03bd-\u03ba\u03b1\u03b9-\u03c4\u03bf-\u03c3\u03c0\u03b1\u03b8\u03af-\u03c4\u03bf\u03c5-\u039a\u03bf\u03bb\u03bf\u03ba\u03bf\u03c4\u03c1\u03ce\u03bd\u03b7-5-450x544.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 365px) 100vw, 365px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14542\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>A clock with a Greek fighter identified with the image of Giaour (second quarter of the 19th century).

He managed twice to cross the besieged lines of Kioutachis as the Messenger of the besieged to those outside and back again&#8221;. Soumerlis Dionysios (former notary) seems to have kept records of Dimitrios (Mitros) Eggelis. This includes a document belonging to the file and certified by important persons, which \u00a0states:<br \/>\n&#8220;The undersigned certify that Mitros Eggelis from Athens, fought from the beginning of the Revolution and was wounded and risked his life many times in various battles against the enemies, offered during the last siege of the Acropolis of Athens, two times in a row to pass through the enemies, as a messanger in the most critical circumstances of the Acropolis guard&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ioannis Egelis<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ioannis finally, having his body full of wounds, became a farmer he m=survives with his three sons, without demanding compensations&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Many documents referring to him are found in file 2 of the box, among them a report dated 19 April 1865, to which is attached a certificate with no. 26894, with confirmations by various fighters bearing their signatures, among them General Makrygiannis. According to the report and other certificates that we find in the file, some of which in many copies, Giannakos Eggelis served as an officer in the flagship of the Greek fleet &#8220;Hellas&#8221; during the years 1828 and 1829, under Miaoulis. He also fought on the Acropolis with 300 other Athenians, in the Peloponnese, and specifically in Neokastro where he was wounded, in Central Greece, in the campaign of Karystos and in the campaign of Chios, where he served as an officer under the French Philhellene Fabvier. The certificate dates back to 1843.<\/p>\n<p>The participation of Aggelis Eggelis in the battle of Kamatero and the episode with Omer Vryonis, is confirmed by most of the historians of the Greek war of independence, especially those who wrote essays on the struggle in Attica, such as Sourmelis, Kokkinos and others.<\/p>\n<p>Kokkinos in particular notes that &#8220;<em>Vryonis&#8217; terror from the personal attack he received from the chief Roubesis was such that his sword with which he tried to defend himself fell from his hand. The sword was taken by the comrade of Dimos Roubesis, Eggelis and later given to Odysseas Androutsos, as mentioned above, who in turn offered it to Kolokotronis<\/em>&#8220;. In fact, after this incident, Omer Vryonis remained in all the battles in the rear.<\/p>\n<p>The family tree of the Eggeli family follows:<br \/>\n1) Aggelis Egelis (first fighter).<br \/>\n2) his sons: Dimitrios (Mitros), Georgios and Ioannis (Giannakos) based on the archives, and Eleftherios based on the bibliography.<br \/>\n3) Dimitrios, left after his death two orphaned children, Panagi and Chrysoula and three orphaned grandchildren of his deceased son, Aggeli Eggeli (he was named after Dimitrios&#8217; father and first fighter).
