Subject: Whats the name of your National Anthem?
Dear Fellow Managers,
I spend a lot of time watching international football and have no idea what the National Anthem is called of the various counties. Could you post your country and the name of its Anthem?
Best Wishes,
Truffs

«Σε γνωρίζω από την κόψη/ του σπαθιού την τρομερή,/ σε γνωρίζω από την όψη/ που με βία μετράει τη γη./ Απ' τα κόκαλα βγαλμένη/ των Ελλήνων τα ιερά,/ και σαν πρώτα ανδρειωμένη,/ χαίρε, ω χαίρε, Ελευθεριά!»
«I recognize you from the dreadful/ edge of the sword/ I recognize you from the countenance/ which surveys the earth with force/ Risen from the sacred bones/ of the Greeks/ and, valiant as first,/ hail, oh hail, liberty!»
The Hymn to Liberty (Greek: Ὕμνος εἰς τὴν Ἐλευθερίαν, Ýmnos is tīn Eleftherian) is a poem written by Dionýsios Solomós in 1823 that consists of 158 stanzas and is the longest Hymn in the world, set to music by Nikolaos Mantzaros. In 1865, the first two stanzas officially became the national anthem of Greece.
