The Greek National Anthem was written by
Dionysios Solomos in 1824 and the music composed by Nikolaos Mantzaros in 1828. It was adopted in 1864

It was translated into English by Rudyard Kipling in 1918

"... We knew thee of old,
O, divinely restored,
By the lights of thine eyes,
And the light of thy Sword.

From the graves of our slain,
Shall thy valour prevail,
As we greet thee again,
Hail, Liberty! Hail! "
