'''Stylianos Pattakos''' was a Greek military man, one of the masterminds of the [[Junta]] behind the coup d' etat of [[April 21]], [[1967]] that overthrew the government of [[Panagiotis Kanellopoulos]] and ruled [[Greece]] until [[1974]].

He was born in [[1912]] in the small village of Agia Paraskevi, [[Rethymno prefecture]], [[Crete]] and studied in Greek military school. He was commissioned an officer and saw action in [[World War II]].

After the war, he eventually rose to the rank of Brigadier General and was assigned to the armoured divisions of the [[Attica]] plain. It was then that he met Colonel [[George Papadopoulos]] and Brigadier General [[Nikolaos Makarezos]]. The threesome planned and executed the coup on the night of April 20 to [[April 21]], [[1967]], claiming political anomaly had made them to do so. For his trouble, Pattakos was awarded with the Ministry of the Interior. As head of that post, Pattakos stripped Greek actress and political activist, [[Melina Mercouri]], of Greek citizenship. Ms. Mercouri retorted "I was born a Greek and I will die a Greek. Mr. Pattakos was born a fascist and he will die a fascist!"

On [[November 25]], [[1973]], politically far-right Brigadier General [[Dimitrios Ioannidis]] overthrew Papadopoulos and Pattakos found himself sidelined. The following year, the 7-year [[Junta]] came to an end in the aftermath of the invasion of [[Cyprus]].

The newly-restored democratic government of [[Constantine Karamanlis]] put junta officials on trial for rebellion and treason and Pattakos was sentenced to death. That was later commuted to life imprisonment and Pattakos spent the next 15 years behind bars. He was released in [[1990]] due to health reasons and has been living on the outside ever since on one leave extension after another. He claims to have found religion but has never shown remorse for his actions.
