Mytilene, Island of Lesbos, Greece, 1922: A Moment of Refuge and Regrouping After the Fall of Smyrna This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the scene at the waterfront of Mytilene, the largest city on the Island of Lesbos in Greece, in 1922. The image bears witness to a pivotal moment in history, as Greek soldiers and civilians, having fled the Turkish Army's reclamation of Izmir (formerly known as Smyrna) on September 9, 1922, arrived on the shores of Mytilene seeking refuge. The Turkish Army's recapture of Izmir, following the Greco-Turkish War, resulted in widespread destruction and loss of life. Thousands of Greeks, fearing persecution, were forced to abandon their homes and possessions, embarking on a perilous journey to reach the safety of the Greek islands. The photograph shows Greek soldiers and civilians gathered on the waterfront, their faces etched with exhaustion, despair, and determination. The coastline of Mytilene, with its rugged cliffs and calm waters, provides a stark contrast to the chaos and turmoil that has brought these people to its shores. The image also reveals the makeshift nature of their arrival, with soldiers and civilians unloading their meager belongings from the Greek ships that had brought them to safety. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the desperate search for refuge and safety. It is a testament to the resilience and determination of those who survived the fall of Smyrna and the ensuing chaos, and their determination to rebuild their lives in a new place. The image also highlights the importance of solidarity and support from the international community during times of crisis, as the Greek soldiers and civilians were welcomed and provided shelter on the Island of Lesbos by the local population and the international community.
