What I can see

The work of the sculptor Evangelos Moustakas is a monument to the National Resistance during the Second World War, as is also written on its base. The sculpture is bronze and consists of three tortured heroic figures bearing symbols of torture and a female figure with her veil fluttering above the heroes symbolizing glory. The work has been criticized for the style and the way the figures have been rendered. The style has been characterized as heavy and descriptive and the figures as stiff, with the result that the viewer cannot easily connect with the drama that the sculpture wants to convey.

What I can't see

The National Resistance in Greece began as small self-organized groups that gradually acquired structure, hierarchy and institutional functions and became an inspiration not only for hundreds of thousands of Greeks who eventually joined the resistance, but also for other resistance groups in Europe.
