Thrasyvoulos Manos
Greek soldier
Thrasyvoulos Manos (Greek: Θρασύβουλος Μάνος, 1835–1922) was an officer, later Major general of the Hellenic Army.
Early life and ancestry
Born in 1835, into the Manos family, an old Phanariot family, as the son of the poet, writer and philosopher Konstatinos Manos (1785-1835) and his wife, Sevastia Argyropoulos (1806-1883). His father was the grandson of Nicholas Caradja, Prince of Wallachia, while his mother was the granddaughter of Michael Drakos Soutzos, Prince of Moldavia, which made him descendant of the rulers of Danubian principalities.
Military career
He entered the Hellenic Military Academy and graduated as an artillery officer. He joined the Cretan uprising of 1866 as a volunteer, but was wounded and taken prisoner by the Ottomans at the battle of Vafe. He was brought to Constantinople, but managed to escape and return to Greece.
Greco-Turkish war
During the Greco-Turkish War of 1897, he led the Greek forces in the Epirus front. After the war he was accused of negligence and blamed for the poor performance of Greek troops, but was exonerated and published an account of the campaign.
Retirement and death
He retired with the rank of major general on 29 January 1918, and died in Athens in 1922.
Personal life
In September 1868 in Paris, he was married to Roxane Mavromichalis (1848-1905).

Why this record matters
The phrase “greek soldier” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16327887. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1835, 1922, 1785 and 1806.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
