Nikolaos Zervas (Greek: Νικόλαος Ζέρβας, 1800–1869) was a Greek revolutionary and Souliote captain in the Greek War of Independence. After the establishment of Greek independence he reached the rank of general in the Hellenic Army.
Zervas was born in
Battle of Phaleron (April 1827).[1] At March 1828, together with another revolutionary leader, Dimos Tselios, managed to push back an advancing Ottoman (Turkish-Albanian) force at Menidi, Attica.[2]
After Independence, Zervas participated in an anti-monarchist revolt in
Epirus revolt of 1854. The revolt aimed at the union of Epirus with the Kingdom of Greece, but failed.[3]
