The Flag of Greece

Flag Detail

The Greek national flag consists of nine horizontal stripes alternating blue and white, with a blue square at the top left quadrant from which hangs a white cross. Two-thirds is the breadth-to-length ratio. The nine stripes represent the nine syllables used in the motto Freedom or Death' when Greece battled for her independence from the Ottoman Empire. Said to symbolize sea and sky, blue and white, respectively, these hues were supposed to reflect each other.
