Souliotes
Ottoman oppression forced Greek herders in Epirus to flee to the mountains during the end of the 16th century and the beginning of the 17th century. There, they built a confederation of villages called the Tetrachori (, "Four Villages") also known as Souli. The Souliotes resisted Ottoman rule during the 18th century. They later participated in the Orlov Revolt, a failed Greek anti-Ottoman uprising that happened in the 1770s.
