Freedom or Death is Kazantzakis's modern Iliad. The context is Crete in the late 19th century, the epic struggle between Greeks and Turks, between Christianity and Islam.

In the village of Megalokastro, a Cretan resistance fighter, Captain Michales, is matched by the Turkish bey, his blood-brother. The life of the local community continues shakily but is disrupted by explosions of violence.
