This m.b scene of the death of Byron.

In fact, Byron did not die in battle and died from cold, which, however, does not detract from his courage and heroism.

Meant allegory.

Likely that gabelene scene depicts the death of rebel leader George Greek Karaiskakis Stadium (1782 - 1827)
He was the son of the captain of the Greek Police (armatolov) in the Turkish service. Since the militia detachments set up by the Turkish regime in the most dangerous and inaccessible areas and recruited mainly from local armed gangs (kleftov) - no wonder the Karaiskakis Stadium has quickly become one of the leaders of a bandit group. At age 15, he was captured by soldiers of Ali Pasha of Yanina, and fired at the fact so impressed that he was appointed commander of the guard. A few years later, however, Karaiskakis Stadium went out of favor and fled into the mountains, where he again led the gangster squad.

When the Greek uprising broke out, the Greek Government has decided to appoint Karaiskakis Stadium in June 1826 Chief of the mainland. He managed to prevent the retreat Mustabeya after his victory at Atalanta, while the victory in Arachova Karaiskakis Stadium on the night of December 6, 1826 is among the most brilliant achievements of the Greek War of Independence.

This was in February 1827 was followed not happy Karaiskakis Stadium for the Battle of Distommo. Died from wounds received while trying to free the Turks besieged the Athenian Acropolis.

entered the room, Sobakevich pointed to the chair, said again: "Please!"
Sitting down, Chichikov glanced at the walls and hanging pictures on them. In pictures
were all good fellows, all the Greek generals, engraved full-length:
Mavrocordatos family in red trousers and uniform, with spectacles on his nose, Miauli,
Kanami. All these characters were in so thick thighs and unheard mustache
that the tremor took place on the body. Between the sturdy Greeks, for some unknown reason
manner and for what purpose, fit Bagration, skinny, skinny, with small
flags and cannon at the bottom and in the most narrow part. Then again, followed
Bobelina Greek heroine, who has one leg seemed most body
those fops who fill the current living rooms. The owner, as the man himself

Ladies' Needlework, executed in a period of general living sympathy of Russian society to what is happening in Greece ..
I think that this is more fantasy story, but with the actual prototypes. Standing figure, in my opinion, yet Byron. But the second character ... I think that this is one of the leaders of the Greeks. For example, Mark Botsaris (?), Who died a year before Byron's death in 1823. http://www.vostlit.info/Texts/Dokume...recii/text.htm
Perhaps, in reality, none of the Greek commanders did not die at the hands of Byron, but to strengthen the impression the author's fantasy figure created such a plot. But perhaps the image does have a real motivation. In short, we must look for more details visit Byron in Greece, especially in Missolongi.
