In Greece, someone could innocently wonder if the Hellenic nation remembers the siege of Malta in 1565, ie, that tremendous and courageous resistance of the Knights against the powerful Ottoman army and the atrocities which they tried to apply in order to break the front of the knights who had come from Rhodes.
Yet again, there’s indeed a reference in a traditional Thracian song from the island of Thassos, which was written by Conze, in his book Reise auf den Inseln des Thrakischen Meeres (Hannover, 1860, page 6) and another reference also exists in the book of Passow Popularia, carmina Graeciae recentioris ( Leipzig, 1860, page 365, number CCCCLXXXV b)
THE BEAUTY OF THE CASTLE
THASSOS ISLAND

Golden Malta, silverish Malta, gilded Malta,
Malta pass on to us the key, give us your master keys,
So we can open our church, so we can view the Gospels.
The Gospels had it written down, three Turks will come and gut you,
Three Turks, three Janissaries, three Morpho Janissaries.
