One group of fighters in this war holed up in an inn and held off a force of more than 8000 enemy soldiers until artillery was brought up against them. Though successful at Gravia Inn and later at Dervenakia, one side's fortunes in this war stalled after the intervention of Ibrahim Pasha. Atrocities committed by those forces and changing public opinion led George Canning to orchestrate the Treaty of London and support greater intervention in this war. This event then saw the interception of an fleet headed for Hydra in the Saronic Gulf by an combined English, French, and Russian fleet that won the battle of Navarino against the Ottomans.  For 10 points, name this conflict in which Lord Byron died, the fight for freedom of a namesake nation home to Thebes and Athens.
