Special Correspondent from Vienna recalls Nasos Papakyritsopulos the Lamia bandit chief who terrorized Phthiotis for years. Olga of Greece once saved a corporal’s son from punishment and he later fled to Lamia and killed his rival at his bride’s wedding. Nasos led a brutal band, influencing local politics, robbing the rich and livingAmong peasants. After a hurricane escape they fled to the mountains and formed a feared brigand band. The gang's actions led to hostage games in Marathon and a high ransom demand. The affair echoed in Parliament as Greeks and foreigners were murdered or tried. The brigandage persisted as a curse in Greece.
