	Klepht - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Klephts (Greek κλέφτης, pl. κλέφτες - kleftis, kleftes, "thieves") were bandits who lived in the Greek countryside when that country was a part of the Ottoman Empire.
		The klephts had more in common with the early Mafia of the Sicilian Vespers, or other outlaws like Pancho Villa and Rob Roy and mixed the politics of national liberation with quests for personal revenge, enhancement of clan status, and personal profiteering.
		Many klephts would spend part of their lives in service to Ottoman landowners, some of whom were Turkish colonists and others native Greeks who had either kept their position after the Turks invaded, or were from Phanariot families who received grants of land from the sultan.

		However the Klepht history is a bit more complicated then that designation might infer and that history is not only interesting, but in point of fact nothing short of fascinating.
		The Klephts were very much the flesh and blood realization of that notion and to some extent, personified it with near stereotypical accuracy.
		Klepht Chieftains often had something of a "friendly business arrangement" they had decided might be mutually beneficial to all governing parties concerned.

	Athanasios Diakos
		The grandson of a local klepht, he was drawn to religion from an early age and was sent away by his parents to the Monastery of St. John The Baptist (Greek, Αγίου Ιωάννου Προδρόμου), near Artotina, for his education.
		He became a monk at the age of seventeen and, due to his devotion to his faith and good temperament, was ordained a Greek Orthodox deacon not long afterwards.
		Diakos served under a number of local klepht leaders in the region of Roumeli, distinguishing himself in various encounters with the Ottomans.

	The Evil Eye by Mary Shelley : Arthur's Classic Novels
		It was said that in his youth, this Klepht was remarkable for a gentler disposition and more refined taste than is usual with his countrymen.
		The Caloyers refused to give it up, and the Klepht, roused to mad indignation, was now besieging and battering the monastery, to obtain by force this object of his newly-awakened affections.
		Katusthius returned some hours after, and so well did the traitor plead his cause with the kind Sagorians, bewailing the fate of his little nephew among these evil men, that they offered to follow, and, superior as their numbers were, to rescue the boy from their destructive hands.

		His action took place at about 1895 in Macedonia and Epirus and he died in one of the battles of Siatista.
		Kousios Despoulis, who was also a klepht, was for many years kept in the prisons of Ioannina and the Macedonian fighters capten Arkoudas (camptain Bear) and capten Tsekouras (capten Axe) were also from Samarina.

		The area is famous for dramatic deaths: Suliot mothers hurling their children off crags, the klepht Markos Botzaris crumpling in battle, Lord Byron's fatal fever and the slaughter of the Free Besieged.
		The greatest of these freedom-fighters (klephts) was Markos Botzaris, who championed a cause dismissed as foolhardy and desperate by the European powers.
		Folklore claims he wept at the klepht's grave, pledging his life to the cause.

	Souliotes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many Souliotes entered service with the Russians on Corfu, where they became an important component of the Legion of Light Riflemen.
		This was a regiment of irregulars organized by the Russians among mainland refugees; it not only included Souliotes, but also Himariotes, Maniots, klephts (Greek bandits) and armatoli (Greek anti-klepht militias created by the Ottomans that actually supported the klephts).
		The Souliotes participated in campaigns in Naples in 1805, Tenedos in 1806, Dalmatia in 1806, and during the defense of Lefkada in 1807.

	The Struggle for Freedom from Ottoman Oppression
		It is true that only the name Tourkoi, caused terror to pour Greeks who for over 400 years of slavery were used to obey orders like good rayas and with exception of the klephts the villagers had no idea how to use a rifle.
		Only klephts, who lived in mountains, were experts in the war and the armatoloi.
		'Klepht never wakes up to the place where he fell to sleep.' This was the rule of klephts and this meant that all the time they ran away, even during the night.

	The Struggle For Macedonia 2002 Calendar
		The third generation after the Revolution of 1821 had already associated the foustanela, the white kilt, and the doulamas with military valour, raising the klephts into symbols of daring.
		Even though the photographs of the fighters as well as the captains of the Struggle for Macedonia show them weighed down in all their ornaments, reality required a far more simple appearance with leather clothes.
		Many veteran klephts who had joined the bands for several reasons showed that the knife and a hard life were also integral parts of the klephts life and tactics.

	The Greek Revolution and the Greek State
		A number of important klephts and district notables enrolled, who could be counted on to control whole villages or bands of armed men.
		One was the Peloponnessus, where a core group of klephts and primates supported the plot.
		The armed peasants and former klephts in the Morea were loyal to Theodore Kolokotrones, a former klepht (whose memoirs are worth reading).

	Greek War of Independence
		The Klephtes (Klephts) at that time were a large number of patriots or volunteers (outlaws for the Turks) that had become large bands of armed brigands living in the rough mountainous regions or other remote areas throughout Greece, and the Armatoli (the gendarmerie) of whom most had become Klephts, all of them increasingly more daring.
		There was little experience in statemanship and public administration, and no past history of a Greek nation upon which to draw.
		At this time, key figures included the fierce Klepht captains accustomed to their aristocratic ways.

		That's how the klepht family of the Kolokotronis shines, who have the large amounts of silver, the silver swords.
		The use of the definite article emphasizes their singular place in the folklore, as does their outrageous behavior in church, which among other things is impossible, since people worship the icons by bowing and kissing them; how could they do it while riding a horse?).
		Kolokotronis was an important family of klephts, several generations of them were famous, and the most famous was Theodore Kolokotronis who was the greatest hero of the War of Greek Independence in the 1820's, but they were not particularly rich.
