"Turius"

--- CONTENT ---
Thurios is a patriotic anthem, a work by Rigas Velestinlis, which he had written in 1797 and sang in gatherings, in order to stir up the Greeks.
It is the third part of his revolutionary political pamphlet New Political Administration of the inhabitants of Rumeli, Asia Minor, the Middle Ages and Wallachobogdan. It is an emmetric text with many elements of narrative, through which the King seeks to convey and make understood the abstract ideas of the "Justies of Man" and the "Law-Law-Law-Law".
To title this text he chooses the ancient Greek thurius, rushing, raging, warlike, to determine the mental disposition he seeks to cultivate with it.

It was a "revolutionary proclamation and indoctrination, written in lyrics, so that the most uneducated and illiterate could easily memorize it"
For the Austrian prosecution authorities, according to their report to the Ministry of Police regarding the interrogations carried out, the Thurius that King drafted and published was a revolutionary song
It is reported that a month after his arrival in Vienna (September 1796), in a friendly house he sang with his compatriots and played with flute Thurius. It was written after the French won in Italy in September 1796 or a little earlier. For Axelos he was written in Bucharest and possibly improved or completed immediately after King's arrival in Vienna.

Name
Until the discovery of the Vienna file the very name of Thurius was wrongly delivered. He was also mistakenly regarded as the Thurius of Rigas as the poem which he bore as the title of the Second Children of the Greeks. Eventually, however, from the minutes of the interviews it becomes clear that Thurius was the poem identified by Perraivos and Goudas from his first verse As when pals
