The blue and white striped pattern of the Greek flag represents the waves (white) of the Hellenic Sea (blue).

There are several theories regarding the nine stripes on the flag. One belief is it represents the number of syllables in the phrase: Eleftheria i Thanatos ("Liberty or Death" - motto during the Hellenic Revolution against the Ottoman Empire). Another tradition is that it represents the number of letters in the word "freedom." Finally, some believe the nine stripes symbolize the nine Muses, the goddesses of art and civilization.

The Hellenic Square Cross represents the devotion the Helllenic people have for the Greek Orthodox Church. it signifies the importance of Christianity in the modern Hellenic Nation.
