'''Emmanouil "Manolis" Dounias ''' was a [[Greeks|Greek]] fighter during the [[War of Independence]] against the Ottoman Empire.
Dounias was from [[Kynouria]], [[Arcadia]], in the [[Peloponnese]]. During the [[Siege of Tripolis]] in September [[1821]], Dounias with two companions, climbed the city's walls with a rope, captured one of the towers, turned its cannon upon the Saray and started firing. In the mean time, more Greeks climbed onto the tower using ropes and managed to open two gates from the inside.
