Greek Flag - Symbol of Hellenic Heritage and National Pride #3635536 (License: Personal Use)

The Greek flag features nine horizontal stripes of alternating blue and white, representing the nine syllables of the phrase “Ελευθερία ή Θάνατος” (“Freedom or Death”), and a white cross on a blue canton in the upper hoist-side corner, symbolizing Greek Orthodoxy. Its official proportions are 2:3, and it has been in use since 1978, though its design dates back to the Greek War of Independence (1821). The vibrant blue evokes the Aegean Sea and sky, while white reflects purity and hope.
