Tzanetos Grigorakis

Tzanetos Grigorakis, known as Zanetbey, was bey of the Mani in the southern Peloponnese from 1782 to 1798, under Ottoman overlordship. From the Grigorakis clan of the Gytheio area, he governed the feuding Maniot chieftain families and paid the tribute owed to the Ottomans. He kept contacts with Christian powers hostile to the Ottomans, was deposed in 1798, and continued to resist from his tower strongholds.
