Evzoni is the traditinional guard of Greece,
a kind of praitorians, today is the guard and army of President of Democracy,
a hard tough corp that has fought in most battles after 1921.
Today is used mainly for parades, and diplomatic and other celebrations.
a kind of army ballet tottaly different than any other in the world,
the slow torture is named, instead of the other fast miltary corps
every year at 19 of May there is a special ceremony dedicated to the memory of Pontos.
enjoy the 'slow torture' of Evzoni, guard change ceremony
the termination Evzoni is from Homer
Homer names the men of Achilleus, the Myrmidones as Evzoni,
it means the ones who 'well dressed' or better proper dressed.
SO IF YOU EVER PASS FROM ATHENS
especially Sundays when the whole battaglion march for Syntagma and back to barracks
spend few minutes staring them, and maybe get a photo as souvenir.
do not worry, they gave the oath of silence,
THEY ARE NOT GOING TO SAY NO
maybe OXI but that only with the eyes (1 time close nothing, 2 times NO 3 times Yes, if remember correct)
