===Greece=== {{Main|Stratarches}} '''''Stratarches''''' ({{langx|el|Ξ£ΟΟΞ±ΟΞ¬ΟΟΞ·Ο}}), meaning ''Ruler of the Army'' in Greek, is a title for senior military commanders dating back to classical antiquity, in the sense of "commander-in-chief". In modern Greek usage, it has been used to translate the rank of field marshal. In this sense, the rank was borne by the [[Monarchy of Greece|kings of Greece]] since 1939, and has been awarded only once in modern Greek history to a professional officer: [[Alexandros Papagos]] in 1949 for his leadership in the [[Greco-Italian War|Greek victory against Fascist Italy]] in World War II and against the [[Democratic Army of Greece|Communist forces]] in the [[Greek Civil War]]. The rank is not retained by the current (since 1974) [[Third Hellenic Republic]].
