According to Wikipedia:
"Shortly after 03:00 am on 28 October 1940, the Italian ambassador to Greece, Emanuele Grazzi, departed from a party at the Italian embassy in Athens to visit Ioannis Metaxas. Ambassador Grazzi presented Metaxas with an ultimatum: either permit Axis forces to enter and occupy unspecified "strategic locations," or face the prospect of war. Metaxas is reported to have responded with a single laconic word, όχι ("No!"). It was later determined that his actual reply was in French: "Alors, c’est la guerre!" ("Then, it is war!")."
I'm not greek but i find this legendary anecdote funny.
Quick sketch using a Faber-Castell marker over a scrap piece of paper, and then digitalized it and set in negative using a L375 Epson printer and MS Paint in my laptop.
