One of the most impressive means of popular expression and tool of information during the Greek-Italian War was the folk icons and lithographs of famous or anonymous artists.


These images, which were meant to encourage the Greek soldiers, but also to comfort the people who had left behind were exclusively devoted to the events of the war.

More in the conversation that Stergos Kastelloriou have with Dr. Anna Efstathiadou, who will lecture on Thursday, June 27th, at the Hellenic Community of Melbourne, in the context of the history and culture seminars offered by the Greek Community.
