The Monument to the Unknown Soldier, a tribute to unidentified war heroes, stands at the Hellenic Parliament's main entrance. Guarded by the presidential guard in traditional 1821 revolution attire (foustanela and tsarouchia), this monument has historical significance. King Othonas established the Evzones bodyguard, with their red fezzes symbolizing bloodshed during the struggle against the Turks, and black fringes representing tears. This concept of honoring those not formally buried dates back to Ancient Greece. The monument's wall features a supine hoplite with a helmet and shield. A perpetually burning candelabrum holds the holy light from Agia Lavra, where Germanos III of Old Patras initiated the Greek revolution. Don't miss the hourly changing of the Evzone guard, with a more elaborate ceremony every Sunday at 11 AM. The monument features the quote, "All the earth is a grave of eminent men," echoing the sentiment of Pericles' epitaph.
