註釋

As the Macedonian Struggle intensifies in 1906, two Greek military officers arrive at the swamp at Lake Giannitsa to lead the Greek rebels. Captain Agras---the ideal hero---radiates energy and spirit; Captain Nikiphoros, in contrast, is more deliberate and reflective. Both are courageous and fearless---united in their aims and dedication.-
A child and an adolescent dominate a plot resembling that of a spy story: Jovan, the -little Bulgarian, - and Apostolis, -the best Greek guide west of the Axios River.- Other key figures include the brave teacher Miss Electra, the mysterious giant Gregos, revenge-seeking Vasilis, and young Pericles, volunteer from Crete.
Rival Greek and Bulgarian fighters strive desperately to drive each other from the swamp, in order to secure it for themselves as a base from which to control the surrounding villages. And all the while they face a common enemy, the occupying Turkish power whose army pursues them both relentlessly.
With mounting tension and a startling turn of events, Secrets of the Swamp re-creates the fierce war -on land and water- at Lake Giannitsa--one of the most dramatic and little-known chapters of Modern Greek history.
