The symbolism of Greek flag( Now i know too)

I like reading history and I wasn't feeling very good not knowing the symbolism of our flag .So I decided to make a little research. The Greek flag  allow me to say the Hellenic flag is blue and white . This symbols the blue color of Hellenic sea and the white of the waves on a rough sea. It is composed from 9 similar lanes, 5 blue_ 4 white  and a cross up left.  All nine lanes compose the spelling of phrase 'Ελευθερία ή Θάνατος' _ Freedom or Death , which was the slogan in Revolution of 1821 against the Ottoman Turks.

Have a nice day !
