Konstantinos Smolenskis
Popular lithograph of Smolenskis as hero of the 1897 war
- ... that Konstantinos Smolenskis, a future general and hero of the Greco-Turkish War of 1897, was expelled from the Greek Military Academy by his own father for unruly behaviour? Source: "...αποβληθείς δια την ζωηρότητά του, ραπίζοντας ανηλεώς τους συμμαθητάς αυτού, οίτινες εμέμφοντο αυτώ ως μη φηλούντι τα πολλά λόγια, ως λέγεται, υπογράψαντος του πατρός αυτού Λεωνίδα Σμολένσκη, υποστρατήγου και υπουργού τότε όντος των Στρατιωτικών εν τη κυβερνήσει Δ. Βούλγαρη [...] το Διάταγμα της απολύσεώς του, απήλθεν..." Evangelidis, Tryfon E. (1898). "Κωνσταντίνος Σμολένσκης: Βιογραφικόν Δοκίμιον" [Konstantinos Smolenskis: Biographical Essay]. ΚΩΝ. Φ.

5x expanded by Cplakidas (talk). Self-nominated at 19:21, 20 July 2019 (UTC).
I can't read Greek, but Google Translate certainly seems to back up the citation. The article is long enough, and was recently expanded from 182 words to 1087, so 5x expansion reached. Draws on a variety of sources - although all in Greek, the mixture of sources makes me confident it's not a copyvio. Image is public domian, hook is long enough and interesting. All good!
