Abstract

The Greek Revolution of 1821 presents several peculiarities, one of which is its preparation, in which very different factors converged. Among them is the influence of the ideological positions of the different precursors, which contributed to creating the prerevolutionary climate. The subject of study and discussion are the contributions of such different figures as Eugenio Vúlgaris (1716-1806), Rigas Velestinlís (1757-1798) and Adamandios Koraís (1748-1833) and others. This article studies the figure of the Protomartyr Rigas.
