The twenty-one (male) leaders I ''admire'' the most

Agamemnon Danaus of Mycenae, for having total control over those numberless kingdoms
Achilles Aeacid of Epirus, for inspiring fear to gods and mortals alike
Pericles of Athens, for being democratically elected 15 times, and the rest he's done
Alexander Argead-Aeacid of Epirus,Macedonia, Asia and Egypt for being the greatest strategical and tactical genius the world has ever seen
Pyrrhus Aeacid of Epirus, for being one of the two men to defeat but not conquer the early Roman Republic
Gaius Julius Caesar for overthrowing the Republic, as others did as well...!
Emperor Constantine I the Great, for moving our capital to Byzantium, for his insight, and political genius... Who would not admire him?
Emperor Justinian I, for listening to his wife, for the foundation of Ioannina and his great expansion of the (Eastern) Empire
Emperor Basil II, for...
Emperor Constantine XI for being the last but still not surrendering to the numberless hordes of enemies
Theodoros Kolokotronis for organising the Greeks...
Ali Pasha of Tepeleni, for using Greeks, Turks and Albanians alike to set his own state inside the Ottoman Empire, (and for supporting us Zagorisians!)
Emperor Napoleon of France, for being able to overthrow the Republic and then (later) arise again within 100 days...
Otto von Bismarck, for the colossal world power that is Germany
Eleutherios Venizelos, for having a vision for Greece
Constantine I Sonderburg-Glucksburg-Schleswig-Holstein, for liberating half of Greece
General Charalambos Katsimitros (VIII Division), for defeating the Axis in Epirus
General Ioannis Metaxas for saying "No", no matter what his regime was...
Colonel Konstantinos Davakis, for winning and falling in Pindus during WWII
the Ethnarch Constantine Karamanlis, for returning... "Boys, pray for me", "Greece is an endless psychiatric clinic"
Kostas Karamanlis, for withstanding the constant attack from the entire press in Greece, which is left-wing controlled, and other groups that try to control the country itself
