Greek flag
Eleftheria i thanatos (Greek: Ελευθερία ή θάνατος, IPA:[elefθeˈri.aiˈθanatos]; 'Freedom or Death') is the motto of Greece.[1][2] It originated in the Greek songs of resistance that were powerful motivating factors for independence. It was adopted in 1814 by the Filiki Eteria, a secret organization formed specifically for the overthrow of Ottoman rule.
