(Freedom or death)
The flag of Greece (a.k.a. ''γαλανόλευκη'' that is translated as blue & white)has 9 horizontal stripes in (alternating) blue and white and a white cross in a blue square field on its top left side.
Its 9 stripes correspond to the 9 syllables of the phrase "Ελευθερία ή Θάνατος" ("Freedom or Death", " E-leu-the-ri-a i Tha-na-tos"). The five blue stripes are for the syllables of "Έλευθερία" and the four white stripes for "ή Θάνατος".
Moreover, the 9 stripes also represent the 9 Muses of Ancient Greek mythology, the deities of astonomy and certain forms of arts and literature.
Its colours have 2 interpretations: they represent the sea and its waves and also the sky with white clouds.
