A griffin carring a sword, with a white cross in the background. Griffin is a fictitious animal with head and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion. It first appeared in monuments in Crete during the middle Minoan era, then in Mycenae, and later in the Byzantine Art. In Greece, it was considered as the secret animal of Apollo, god of the Sun, and is also depicted on the helmet of Athena. It was considered a terrible dangerous beast, serving as guard of gods, lands, and fortunes. It symbolised the bravery and force on earth (lion), the superiority in the air (eagle), while the sword shows the determination of the Unit to accomplish its mission. The background consists of the national colours of Greece and the symbol of our religion, the Cross, for which the Greeks have magnanimously fought, when needed, and knew victories and glory.
