who is the national hero of greece?

That's a difficult one - the Greeks have a very long history full of Heroes. However, many of these are in Greek Mythology - so it is important to separate the 'mortal from the immortal,' as it were.

Two Heroes of Greece come to mind - one a Heroine of Greece the other an Englishman who helped liberate Greece from Turkish control.

Remember the Heroes and the Heroines for all time.

Ancient times - Alexander the Great

(1820s too now) Modern times - George Gordon Byron, Georgios Karaiskakis, Markos Botsaris, Theodoros Kolokotronis, Pavlos Melas, Nikolaos Plastiras, Rigas Feraios, Adamantios Korais, Ioannis Kapodistrias, Eleftherios Venizelos, Alexandros Papanastasiou, Georgios Papandreou.

There are TONS more, But it would take forever! I only didnt mention many from the ancient times, Because I figure you mean modern times or more modern times, So there is something to start you off on!

In the course of over 5000 years the national heroes are far too many, but in general the Greek people are the most valiant heroes. They have suffered and still do, yet they do not lose their resilience.

there are many, Greece is the land of heroes:)

I think its Alexander the Great,the first Greek to spread Hellenism in the world....
