Abstract: Immediately after the defeat suffered by the Greek and Romanian revolutionaries, in Dragasani, in June 1821, many of the Greeks who fought for Filiki Eteria and not only, took refuge in Transylvania, to avoid the repression of the Ottoman Empire. The two Hellenistic centres, where these refugees have found shelter and protection, were Sibiu and Brasov. Among the refugees, in addition to students and fighters of the Sacred Band of Filiki Eteria, were also intellectuals, boyar families, two of the founders of the Filiki Eteria, doctors, and high Greek dignitaries from the Romanian Principalities. From Sibiu and Brasov, Greek revolutionaries continued to spread revolutionary enthusiasm and continue their liberation struggle against the Ottoman Empire, using the resources of Greek merchants companies in these cities, which had close ties with the Hellenistic centres in Europe. In response to the large number of refugees arriving in the Austrian Empire, the refugees were placed under the supervision of local authorities who informed their superiors in Vienna.
