1890 Greek Evzone Infantry

4 variants. Price per figure. Variants supplied randomly.
The Evzones have represented the elite of the Greek army since the long war of independence from the Ottoman Empire (1821-32). The word Evzone apparently means well belted one, and has its roots in Homeric literature. Most people who are familiar with Greece today will know of these colourful soldiers, wearing their Foustanella (pleated kilt) and pom-pom shoes, while fulfilling their highly disciplined ceremonial duties in Athens.
