In July 1822, Dramalis with a large army descends "without firing a shot" into the Peloponnese, and the news spreads panic. Frightened, the residents of Argos and the surrounding areas abandon their homes and seek refuge in the mountains. Angelis, a young shepherd from Achladokampos, refuses to surrender to fear. Although he does not have both hands strong enough to hold a rifle, he does not hesitate to enlist and support the Revolution. From his position as an assistant, he helps the fighters defending the castle at the Acropolis of Argos, implementing the plan of the commander-in-chief Kolokotronis. Their goal is to pin down Dramalis in Argolis so that the Greeks can gain time and organize an army. The siege of the castle is suffocating, and those trapped suffer from hunger and thirst. When they decide to exit, Angelis secretly goes out and informs Kolokotronis. He then follows him to Dervenakia. He becomes one of his messengers and witnesses the crushing defeat of Dramalis and the great victory. A novel that brings to life one of the most glorious yet lesser-known moments of the great uprising.
