In 1809 the twenty-one-year old Lory Byron and his friend Cam Hobhouse visited Ali Pasha en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Pasha_of_Ioannina in his sumptuous palace at Ionnina in Epirus. Unaware that the romantic lake they gazed over positively brimmed with the bodies of tax-avoiding Greeks, the two fell hook, line and sinker for the old psychopath’s charms.
The result of Byron’s sojorn with Ali Pasha was “Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage,’ @ which made him world famous overnight. Though its brooding Romantic hero spent only a quarter of his travels among the Greeks, the poem recharged the West’s obsession with their bygone glories – and their current enslavement by the heathen Turks. By 1810, minds all over Europe were starting to imagine the Greeks free from Ottoman vassalage. ~ Page 112
