Nowhere

and
the God of Koran at least in prayers was gracious and merciful.
16
Genoese
Giustiniani and the Greek defenders bravely defended in the gate of St.
Romanos. Resourceful Odysseus and multimode comrades took up arms and presented
to Giustinian saying that they are friends of Constantine, and they have the
permission
of
the emperor to fight. Genovese realized how skilled warriors and kept close to
him, wanted brave lads beside him. The first heroic Janissaries when stepped on

he
believed that they delivered the City in Pope,
leaving the Orthodoxy in her fate .
Unionists
were in agreement with the powerful party of peace, had led the Grand Vizier
Candarli Halil Pasha
Halil
wanted compromise with the besieged.
The
Greeks were forced to live between a Hammer and anvil milled by the millstones,
17
Even
if destined to die. They were born again from zero and nothing. Notaras asked
from Giustiniani to let his men to guard
Kekroporta. It was open and united palace of Blachernai with Charsia Gate
and the Gate of St. Romanos. Never before in history, such a small gate played
such a big role.
Only
if you pass over my dead body will become this,
Villainous
traitor said Giustiniani deep red from anger.
You
prefer the Turks from Westerners.
The
Notaras furious answered forgetting the manners.
Vulgar
Genovese you forget what you made your similar Latins in 1204 AD. They were the
ones who occupied the City for a generation in her thousands of years history.
Robbed and burned many buildings and houses, took fabulous treasures all them
while reported the name of God, being Crusaders.
This
is a fact that became a lot of years
before replied Giustiniani I do not have no relationship.
Emperor
Constantine Paleologos riding a white horse wearing clothes king gave courage
to the warriors saying.
28 MAY 1453
Keep

the
time and the day is ours.
18
The
brave men turned and looked almost through the grave, had also given the last
vitality of their forces.
A
whisper began to be heard while transmitted by mouth in mouth, they heard the
brave warriors
and
cut their legs, their hearts stopped beating.
29 MAY 1453
After
the Greeks began to say more hard,
all
wondered if it is lie until that became
loud
cry.
They
heard and began to shout the myriad Turkish soldiers until became sky-cry.
Shouts
of joy, wild voice of Victory
but
also immense sound of crash,
became
cry of defeat and despair.
"
EALO THE CITY " - FALL THE CITY
Resourceful
Odysseus and his multimode companions
shocked

thrown
out of the Body. Never heard such a cry,
never
felt such awe, such a collapse.
My
people what you did

people what you did
The
Greeks saw shocked the Turkish flags
fluttering
over the Kekroporta
19
and
palace of Blachernai. It was like had died a thousand times as many as the
centuries of the empire.
The
Janissaries lighter ran at length of wall,
mercilessly
beaten everyone there in front of them
stepping
on corpses.
Greeks

EALO THE POLIS- FALL THE CITY
20
Responded
they desperately and the voices heard
as
the end of world, as another dance of Tragedy.
Foretold
things to come over the body of a city while dying.
EALO
THE CITY-FALL THE CITY
Increasingly,
there were increasing enemies around Constantine more and dilutes the guard
around him,
One-οne
leaving a hole.
then
the last Greek emperor said with anguish with all the all force of his soul.
<< There is a Christian
to get my head >>
Single
fought Constantine Palaeologus,
multiply
the enemies around him but he tirelessly
he
despised the death similar to angel of Paradise,
lived
haughty solitude of death.
A
sword found Constantine in person
and
he retaliated by throwing the enemy down,
after
another over the chest
and
swooped like a lion against all.
Killed
countless but was all alone.
From
behind found the emperor one strong
then
another and fell down dead,
this
last Greek.
Constantine
Palaeologus the last king,
Eternal
grief, forever will be heard in the centuries.
Mehmed
the Conqueror the great triumph
21
entered
through the Gate of St. Romanos
riding
a snow-white horse, jubilant like
passed
the Gate of Paradase.
He
walked among thousands of corpses,
devastated
houses and broken objects
following
the road to Agia Sophia.
This
Mehmed the Conqueror dedicates to
the
one and only God of Islam
the
great church of Christians.
Mehmet
annoyed from Notaras had heard for his sons, sent his harem eunuch to bring
little son, he wanted the child to his harem.
Once
arrived to the eunuch with the sons, Lucas Notaras
without
kneels said fearlessly in Muhammad
How
can I leave my son to do this.
Had
to find a better way to kill me, let the Lord be great.
One
thing I will ask. The executioner first to kill my sons,
lest
fear and change their minds, then let's get my own head.
Resourceful
Odysseus could not bear such horrors
and
cast forth as a tomcat in Sultan.
He
lost it, became yellow from fear,
he
thought that the end came on the greatest glory
multiform
Laertiadis had the ability
be
transformed in that he wanted.
So
took the form of death
and
while for others it was a divine Greek Knight
for
Muhammad took the form of an angel of death.
Then
to surprise of all the great conqueror knelt
22
and
started begging and begging
let
him live a little longer to enjoy
all
this greatness.
Never
more completely enslaved people,
sigh
under the Tyranny.
Three
days and three nights kept the slaughter,
such
misfortune did not found other city.
River
the blood of the deads, startled sun
Turkomans
brazenly raped small girls,
the
women became wild objects of disire.
The
unlucky Greeks ran to hide in vain to escape death.
An
endless song of death
Lamentations
and chanting, screaming and shouting voices of women. Atheists destroyed the
holy altars,
the
relics of Saints and martiron
May
God bless us
Fair your use
Divine
Odysseus and the fabulous companions
night
they left from Constantinople.
All
Greeks wept bitterly, left behind the
city
In
the darkness of tyranny. Regretted very much that he could not see the
beautiful Helen Paleologos wonder what happened, saved, died, fled elsewhere.
Ithaca
left invisible from the Golden Horn
without
seeing the fabulous ship.
Sailed
proud for Elsewhere
the
Other Byzantium
