Zappas was a philanthropist who financed the revival of the modern Olympic Games approximately 1,460 years after the Ancient Olympic Games had been banned by the first Christian Roman Emperor Theodosius I. Zappas was born in 1800 in Ottoman-occupied north-western Greece in a village called Lambove, near Tepelene, in northern Epirus (now part of the Girokastra region of Albania). He began a military career as a mercenary soldier in the Ottoman army of Ali Pasha who ruled the region from a fortress in Tepelene. Zappas then joined Markos Botsaris' Greek resistance forces in the Greek War of Independence. I'm not sure if he built anything.
