GREEK EARNS RECOGNITION-Demetrios Ypsilanti, hero of
the Greek war of independence 140 years ago, has been honored
in this bust on the campus of Eastern Michigan College in
Ypsilanti.
Ypsilanti Name Inspired
By Greek Revolutionist
By THOMAS TURNER j
The Greek revolt against the
Ottoman Turks In the 1820's
aroused the sympathies of Roman-
tics everywhere, including those
of, the poet Byron, who died at the
hands of the Turks.
The revolution seems to have
stirred a few hearts in Washtenaw
county too, for it gave neighboring
Ypsilanti its name.
Demetrios Ypsilanti, the man so
immortalized, was born in 1793 of
a family claiming, descent from
Byzantine emperors. His grand-
father had served as Dragoman
or interpreter to the; Sultan; but
had fallen from favor and was
executed.
Plans Upset
His son, the father of Demetrios
Ypsilanti, twice served the Sultan
but was deposed. He raised an
army in Russia and moved to free
Greece, but his plans were halted'
by the Peace of Tilsit signed by
the Czar and Napoleon in 1806.
He died in exile, a disappointed
man.
Demetrios, however, was to see
his fatherland independent. Both
fought in the Russian army against
the Turks and joined the Greek
revolutionaries. Alexander, how-
ever, suffered several consecutive
defeats and fled to exile in Austria.
He was imprisoned in Vienna and
died there seven years later, in
1828.
Just one year later, however,
Demetrios Ypsilanti defeated the
Turkish commander, Aslan Bey,
at the pass of Petra and forced
him to capitulate in the final
action of the war.
Saluted- Him
And one year later, a village in
Michigan changed itsname to
honor him, "a salute from one
freedom-loving people to another."
Ann Arbor, on the other hand,
was named for two ladies named
Ann who used to live here.
