For a century, the Greeks had been planning to erect a pan-hellenic war monument in token of gratitude to coefficients of the Revolution of 1821. For this reason, the architects Lysandros Kaftanjoglou (1830-1834) and Ernest Ziller (1870, 1908) had drawn several designs, while the sculptor George Bonanos had been studying for decades (many years before 1914 until 1930) the model of an «architectural-sculptural» work of art. In 1929, an artistic competition was announced and architects and sculptors submitted new proposals but the monument that was founded in the Field of Mars in 1930 was never realised. Through the debates about the pan-hellenic monument, the ideology of the official Greek state was revealed and the national ideals (Megali Idea) were reflected.
