Tips

Stamos Kapsas was born in Pazarakia (Kryopigi) of Halkidiki at the end of the 18th century. He moved at a young age to Sykia in Halkidiki in search of work. On March 23, 1821, Emmanuel Papas landed on the Athos peninsula, transporting weapons and munitions with the help of Ainite and Psarian captains. There he met with Stamos Hapsa and they proceeded to form the revolutionary army, in order to stop the Ottoman forces coming from Drama and Constantinople, to the Macedonian Temples. His fame has reached as far as Thessaloniki, where the Thessalonians are waiting to welcome him as a liberator. Then he was accused of the nickname Captain Hapsas, in the sense that he was losing the Turks.
