Ceramic, philhellenic dish with the theme “The Exit of Mesolonghi”

The Exit of Messologhi During the Turkish occupation of Greece, the Greeks suffered very much from the brutality and severity of the conquerors. Regarding the town of Messolonghi they tried two times to surround and conquer it.

The first time was on October 25, 1822, but the Turks failed to succeed their plans because they met a very strong resistance by the Greek fighters. So they were obliged to withdraw their troops as they had many casualties.

On April 20, 1825 Kioutachis arrived in Messolonghi with about 35000 men in order to fulfill his plans, that is, to conquer Messolonghi. It was the second effort to siege the town. So he surrounded it with his troops and closed all the entrances to the town.The siege was planned to be accomplished in two phases.

The first phase lasted between April and December of 1825. The Greek fighters were resisting all the attacks of Kioutachis troops. In spite of the successes of the turks, they were defeated in the attack of Kleisova. In the mean time the Greek fighters started to have problems with the food.

The supplies started decreasing but they were giving the impression to Kioutachis that they had ample of food. Kioutchis wanted to negotiate with the Greeks and surrender the town. Obviously, the Greeks refused.  In spite of being besieged, they were actually “Free Besieged”.

Due to the great pressure exerted by Kioutachis, the life of the people became very difficult. So early in April the chieftains made the big decision. They decided the heroic Exit which lifted Messolonghi to the Global History of the ideals of freedom, bravery and culture. The Exit decision was materialized on April between 10- 11,1826 at the dawn of Palm Sunday. That was the glorious end of the Messolonghi siege which moved the world.
