Nicolaos Maurogenis=Nicolae Mavrogheni, Wallachian Prince - not governor (he was Greek, as were most Phanariotes, but he is known by his Romanianized name). I'll change it to that. Dahn 19:52, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Should the bit about the political party be in a page about a Greek Poet? There could be a different page and also a disambiguation page. Vesiv 13:41, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vlach

From Britannica:

"Toward the end of the 18th century Rigas Velestinlis (also known as Rigas Pheraios), a Hellenized Vlach from Thessaly, began not only to dream of, but actively to plan for, an armed revolt against the Turks."

[edit] Extract from Greek WP

I translated this as best I could:

Στην ηλικία των είκοσι ετών σκότωσε στο Βελεστίνο έναν Τούρκο πρόκριτο και κατέφυγε στο Λιτόχωρο του Ολύμπου, όπου κατατάχθηκε στο σώμα των αρματολού θείου του Σπύρου Ζήρα. Αργότερα βρίσκεται στο Άγιο Όρος, φιλοξενούμενος του ηγούμενου της μονής Βατοπεδίου, Κοσμά.

Two questions:

• is θείου "famous" [in which case it's unnecessary], or does it imply Spiro Zera was working for the monks?
• Is that the best spelling of his name in English? JCScaliger 17:38, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trushina

Why mention that one branch of his family was called Trushina? If there is a point here, it isn't being conveyed; if he used the name, it isn't mentioned. JCScaliger 17:46, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
