This ‘nt Greek cityâ€" ns "dwellers toâ€" f the present s chief purpose imong its memâ€" From the 15th to the 19th centuries Grepce was Auumder Turkish rule, sufâ€" fering the tyramnny and oppression of the OQOttoman emperors. In 1821, howâ€" ever, there began a long war of indeâ€" pendence, which ended in the estabâ€" lishment of the independent kingdom of Greece in 1833. One of the battles of this war was waged in 1824 at the island of Psara off the Turkish coast. The heroism of the Greeks on this occasion has been immortalized in the painting enlitled "Glory" which, porâ€" traying the winged and whiteâ€"robed sdidess of victory, is reproduced on The age when Greece was a part of the Romman Empire is recalled by the lod value, which reproduces a painting depicting the conquest of the infidel Arabs at the gate of Constantinople by the great Roman Emperor of the East, Leon III, in the yvear 718. Pagos, or Mars Hill, in the year 54. According to: ‘Acts 47 : >282; 23:;>> ‘"‘Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars Hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perâ€" ceive that in all things ye are too suâ€" perstitious. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with the inscription, TO THE UNâ€" KNOWN GOD. Whom tnecrefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you." The 10d issue shows the interior of the Temple of St. Demeter at Saionica, erected in the 4th century. Ths 6d value reproduces a basâ€"reâ€" liof on the sarcophagus of Alexander the Great, and shows this famous conâ€" quercr defeating the Persians at the battle of Issos in 333 B.C. This was one of the many defeats (including the famed battle of Marathon) suffered by the Persians in their repeated onâ€" slaughts against ancient Greece. Had it not been for these couragerous Greek warriors, the Persians would certainly have overrun Greece and all FEurope, and changed the cntire course of huâ€" man history. Bringiny ‘our philatelic history of Greece .down‘ to the Christian Era, the "Id stamp â€" portrays Sain t Paul preaching to the Athenians at Arios Pagos, or Mars Hill, in the ‘year 54. According to:‘Acts 7: 23«::>‘"Then "TProcession of the Panâ€"Athz:nians‘" and shows a state chariot besing drawn by a pair of spirited horses. Many of the statues which Phidias made for the Parthenon were destroyed during the Greckâ€"Turkish War of 1821â€"33, as the Turkish soldiers used these priceless works of ancient art for target pracâ€" tice, as if they were clay pipes at a shooting gallery! On the 2d stamp we see a rmproducâ€" tion of a painting of the battle of Salâ€" amis, which occurred in 480 B.C. and ranks with the greatest naval battles of history. The Greek ships, although outnumbered two to one, defeated the fleet of their enemy, the Persians, and administered a crushing blow to the aspirations of the Persian warrior, KXoerxes, to rule over Greece. To students of Greek sculpturs, the name of Phidias stands above all others and no review of ancient art would be ccomplete without reference ~to this great master of sculpture. Thus we <â€"c on the 5d stamp a reproduction of the frieze which he ~â€"cuted for the Parthenon. a temp‘s or.cted about 440 B.C. and whrts rulms are now one of the landmarks of the city of Athens.
