<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GinoLR, post: 25903595, member: 128351&quot;]When I read the title, &quot;the Tears of Cios&quot;, I first thought about the picture by Eugène Delacroix, &quot;<i>Scènes des massacres de Scio : familles grecques attendant la mort ou l&#039;esclavage</i>&quot; (&quot;Scenes of the Scio massacres: Greek families wainting for death or slavery&quot;). It is in the Great Gallery of the Louvre Museum. </p><p>In 1822, during the Greek independence war, the Turkish army committed a massacre against the civilian population in Chios. In Europe many were shocked, exactly like today when we hear of the war crimes committed in Ukraine or in Gaza. Like today, the artists wanted to alert the public opinion. Delacroix painted this picture. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1649874[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
