Greece National Flag - Symbol of Hellenic Heritage and Identity #1236502 (License: Personal Use)

The Greek flag consists of nine equal horizontal stripes of blue and white, with a blue canton bearing a white cross in the upper hoist-side corner. The nine stripes represent the nine syllables of the phrase “Ελευθερία ή Θάνατος” (Freedom or Death), while the cross signifies Greek Orthodoxy. Officially adopted in its current form in 1978, it has been a powerful symbol of Greek independence since the War of Independence in 1821.
