but only if it comes from naoussa. a city near corinth. all cities are ancient and have stories going back milenia. corinth is even in the bible (and wasl older than that but apparently for some reason jesus disciples had a lot to say to corinthians - maybe about the wine?)

In February 1822, the region of Vermion and Olympus was shaken by the outbreak of the revolution against the Turks. The center of the uprising was the purely Greek Naoussa, led by Zafirakis Logothetis and Anastasios Karatasos. After the unsuccessful attempt to capture Veria, the revolutionaries huddled in the fortified Naoussa, where populations from the surrounding villages had also gathered. Despite the heroic resistance of the revolutionaries, the city succumbed to the numerically superior Turkish forces towards the end of the week of Diakainisimo and was given over to plunder. Thousands of its inhabitants were then captured or killed. Amidst the chaos, thirteen women with their children were trapped on the western edge of the city in the Stoumbani area, with the foaming waters of Arapitsa in front of them and the hordes of Turks behind them. They preferred the icy embrace of the river to the dishonorable embrace of their enemies. The wives of the leaders of the revolution also met a martyr's death, who were dragged in chains to Thessaloniki. Zafirakis himself was killed trying to escape. On the other hand, Karatasos with the surviving military bodies of the revolutionaries continued their action in Southern Greece. Those of the inhabitants who escaped and remained in Macedonia wandered for several years before being amnestied and returning to the destroyed city. For the heroism of its inhabitants against a powerful opponent and their contribution to the Struggle for Independence from the Turkish yoke, Naoussa is the only city to bear the title "Heroic", by Royal Decree since 1955. The Church, honoring the people of Naoussa who preferred to die rather than convert, declared the dead holy neomartyrs.
