This lesser-known legend tells us of a Greek soldier who, after WWII, was returning home to marry his fiancee. Unfortunately for him, he was captured by fellow Greeks who had hostile political beliefs, tortured for five weeks, and finally eventually murdered. In the early 1950s—mainly in North and Central Greece—there were stories about a very attractive Greek soldier in uniform, who appeared and disappeared overnight, seducing beautiful widows and virgin girls with the sole purpose of impregnating them.
Five weeks after the babies were born, the man would disappear for good—leaving a letter on the table explaining that he had returned from the dead merely to spread his seed, so that his sons might avenge his murder.

After fighting in World War II, a handsome Greek soldier returns to his country only to be abducted by a radical political group. The kidnappers hold their captive hostage for five weeks, brutally torturing him, until one day they finally kill him.
Seeking revenge, the soldier's soul returns to the side of the living.
Reports from the 1950's claimed he would appear in random towns and flirt with local women. His good looks and seductive nature made it nearly impossible for anyone to resist him. After a night in bed with the soldier, he would disappear, while the women found themselves pregnant.
The soldier came and went, keeping the women wrapped around his ghostly finger, until five weeks following the birth of their child. He would then disappear forever, with the hope that one day, all his children would avenge his death by murdering his assassins.
