Daskalogiannis("Giannis The Teacher"), was one of the many leaders in the Cretan aspect of the rebellion. He was born in Anopoli, the village on the hill top above Chora Sfakion.At the end of the Turkish occupation (1669 - 1898) in 1770 the Turks had offered a settlement to the Cretans where there would be no more deaths. Daskalo Gianni, knowing full well he was walking into a trap, went to meet the Turkish leaders. He hoped that something could be resolved, or at the very least, his death could provide a pivotal point of inspiration for the liberation of Crete. Needless to say, the Turks brutally tortured him and beat him in an attempt to extract strategic information from him. Even after they skinned him alive, he would still not betray his people to the barbaric enemy. He died of his injuries quickly. These were followed by riots which led to the declaration of Crete as an independent Cretan State in 1898.

Στις 17 Ιουνίου 1771 το πρωί, ο πασάς φώναξε ένα βάρβαρο γιανίτσαρο, ειδικό στους βασανισμούς, και του παράδωσε τον Δάσκαλο.
- Θέλω το θάνατο σκληρό και στη μεγάλη πλατεία.
Ο «ειδικός» κάλεσε σε σύσκεψη την παρέα του και βρήκαν τον τρόπο που θα σκότωναν τον Δάσκαλο. http://www.kairatos.com.gr/daskalogianis.htm
Τα γεγονότα της επανάστασης του 1770-1771 στα Σφακιά απαθανατίστηκαν δεκαέξι χρόνια αργότερα στο λεγόμενο «Τραγούδι του Δασκαλογιάννη», αποτελούμενο από 1.032 στίχους, που αποδίδεται στον αγράμματο ριμαδόρο Μπάρμπα Παντζελιό, τυροκόμο από το Μούρι, καταγραμμένο διά χειρός του κτηνοτρόφου Αναγνώστη Σήφη Παπα-Σκορδύλη (1786).
