| Summary | "Η ολοκαύτωσις του Αρκαδίου" by Ioannes Kondylakes is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work details the events surrounding the heroic defense of the Arkadi Monastery during the Cretan Revolt against Ottoman rule. It explores themes of resistance, sacrifice, and the plight of the Cretan people, with a particular focus on the monastery's inhabitants and their leaders. The opening of the book sets the stage for the historical events that will unfold, providing essential background about the Arkadi Monastery, its significance, and the socio-political environment of the time. It describes the monastery as a refuge during various uprisings and recounts how it became a gathering point for women, children, and the elderly. Key figures, such as the abbot Gabriel and the courageous woman Hariklea Daskalakis, who is depicted as an emblem of bravery, are introduced as they resolve to resist the impending Turkish forces despite the dire circumstances. The stage is set for a gripping narrative of struggle and defiance against overwhelming odds. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
